TOP 5 SONGS

5. Innocent Ways

“Innocent Ways” is dedicated to all the oldest sisters with younger sisters that they’re trying not to corrupt. It’s trying to let them live their life and learn from their mistakes on their own, but also trying to be the person they can call for advice.

Also , It’s watching them step into adulthood and their own life and trying not to judge their life choices too harshly. It’s all love and fun, but there’s also that underlying feeling of wanting to protect them while knowing you can’t make every decision for them.

4. Different Religion

“Different Religion” is spicy, y’all. It’s about infatuation, obsession, and a man you practically worship. You desire his word, his touch, and your relationship is practically like your own new religion.

This man is perfect in your eyes, and he makes you feel like heaven. There’s something almost excessive about the devotion here, but that’s what makes it fun. It’s not just a crush—it’s the kind of infatuation where this person has completely taken over your brain.

3. Bass Persuades

“Bass Persuades” is lively and full of energy. You can practically feel lasers and strobe lights emitting from the beat.

The track itself is about times changing, different generations living in seemingly completely different worlds, but remembering that music moves people and brings us all together. Music is something you can get lost in, something you can connect with, something that’s not going away anytime soon.

2. Let’s Get Married

“Let’s Get Married” is one of the slower songs on the album, giving more of a grungy indie sound that I adore with Miley’s vocals.

It’s romantic and dreamy, describing a kind of love that makes you want to just run away and get married right now. It’s gentle and emotional and hits you right in the feels. There’s something almost reckless about the romance, like forgetting everything else for a minute and choosing the person you love.

1. Orbit

“Orbit” is a ballad, and it low-key took my breath away. This track just oozes affection, speaking about someone who you’re devoted to and want to be around constantly. It feels like close is still too far away, like you want to be in their skin.

The way that they make you feel is different than anyone else, and you don’t know how they do it, but you know that you never want it to end. The track gives passion and dedication in the softest way, and Miley’s vocals really sell that intimacy.

RGM RATING

Miley Cyrus’ Bass Persuades is just further proof that she isn’t, and never has been, a one-trick pony. I mean, be for real. We are talking about a TV star, movie actress, Grammy Award-winning musician here.

Miley has crossed genre boundaries so many times throughout her career, from soft country-pop songs to grungy rock albums to hip-hop. With Bass Persuades, she once again puts her signature touch on a new sound.

This album combines electronic, high-energy dance music with some ballads and indie vibes. As new as some of it is for Miley, it definitely fits her style. She doesn’t sound like she’s trying to force herself into a different genre. Instead, she sounds like she’s taking pieces of something new and making it her own.

Lyrically, the album captures the feeling of change, connection, romance, and simply letting yourself experience life. There’s a lot here about different stages of life and the way we relate to the people around us, whether that’s a romantic partner, a younger sibling, or a whole generation of people experiencing the world differently.

There’s also a strong emphasis on music itself—how it brings people together, how it gives us somewhere to escape to, and how it can connect people who otherwise might have nothing in common. Even when the album gets more personal, there’s still this bigger-picture feeling underneath it.

Overall, Bass Persuades feels like a new year, new era, new generation, but same Miley. It bridges gaps, looks at bigger pictures, and reminds us all to enjoy the things in life, big and small.

I love the freshness, the energy, and the overall vibe I get from this album, and I’m adding my top 5 to my “ravers” playlist right this instant.
