Hannah Montana The Movie

Hannah Montana The Movie 300x300 Hannah Montana The MovieThe amazing soundtrack to the feature film Hannah Montana The Movie is here and loaded with music from today’s biggest artists…including 14 brand new songs by Miley Cyrus, Hannah Montana, Billy Ray Cyrus, Taylor Swift and Rascal Flatts. This soundtrack is without question the best of both worlds as it features hit tracks like “The Climb” from Miley Cyrus plus new songs from Hannah Montana.

1. You’ll Always Find Your Way Back Home – 4/5
This track opens up much like Breakout did for Miley’s previous CD of the same name. You can say it’s a Hannah-fied version of Miley’s Breakout. Kind of sets up the plot of the movie, and it is a fun track though not one of my favorites.

2. Let’s Get Crazy - 4/5
I have had this on repeat for the longest, long before I got my hands on the soundtrack. It’s solid pop record, though I’m not sure the lyrics have a point.

3. The Good Life - 5/5
I love this song. Fun and brings a smile to my face. I can imagine this song being played out in the background during a shopping spree montage in the movie, right before her “shoe fight”.

4. Everything I Want - 3/5
This song is performed by Steve Rushton, a newcomer to Hollywood Records. I personally think it was a very smart move on Disneys/Hollywood Records part to include 2 of his songs on the soundtrack as a way of introducing him to a large audience. However, his voice is a bit too generic for my liking and sounds like any other garage bands lead singer.

5. Don’t Walk Away - 5/5
Miley Cyrus’ songs in the soundtrack are better lyrics-wise than her alter-egos, but have more of a country vibe to them as well. This song I believe is a B-side from one of her previous albums as I have heard it before. Very catchy chorus for such a mid-tempo song, has a very 90s feel to it as well.

6. Hoedown Throwdown - 5/5
Fun, quirky, Disneypop at its catchiest. The lyrics tell you the actual dance that accompanies this song, and everyone in my dorm building including myself have this whole thing down for the most part.

7. Dream - 4/5
Again, Miley Cyrus expects you to pay more attention to her lyrics than Hannah does. The end result is another catchy mid-tempo song with a very good meaning.

8. The Climb - 5/5
Probably the best song on the soundtrack. Great lyrics that have a great meaning, excellent production and progression. Showcases Mileys evolving vocal skills. Just a great song.

9. Butterfly Fly Away - 5/5
This is an emotional duet between Miley and Billy Ray. It makes you pay very close attention to every second of the song.

10. Backwards - 4/5
Performed by Rascal Flatts. I’m not the biggest fun of country music (Taylor Swift’s self-titled debut is about as country as I get), but this song is fun.

11. Back To Tennessee - 3/5
Billy Ray and Miley both have very distinctive voices. This song showcases Billy Ray’s rough, twangy, country vocals. Though there’s something about the use of instruments that makes it a bit too muddled and all over the place for me.

12. Crazier - 4/5
I love Taylor Swift, but lyrics wise she has done better. Her “I sing songs about Boys” shtick is just getting a bit played out to me I guess. It’s still an enjoyable listen though.

13. Bless The Broken Road - 4/5
The lyrics are great. Never heard of the Rascal Flatts before this soundtrack, but the leads vocals are amazing.

14. Let’s Do This - 5/5
One of my favorite Hannah songs.
She comes across very confident and energetic with this song. Her vocals here remind me of Stevie Nicks.

15. Spotlight - 5/5
This song reminds me of No Doubt circa Return Of Saturn. She has this sassy quality to her voice here that very much reminds me of Gwen Stefani. Awesome pop-rock song all around.

16. Game Over - 3/5
Another Steve Rushton Song, another mediocre song.
I very much do not enjoy this person.

17. What’s Not To Like - 3/5
Probably the weakest of all the Hannah songs in the album. Catchy nonetheless.

18. Best of Both Worlds - 5/5
I enjoy this remix, it shows how Mileys vocals have become more confident and refined over the years. It also uses more modern instrumentation. Great way to close this soundtrack.

Hannah Montana The Album

Hannah Montana The Album image

Hannah Montana The Album 300x300 Hannah Montana The AlbumIt is pure bubblegum pop. It’s not too offensive nor is it too risque for the younger crowd. It’s also easily digestable for parents of children enthralled with Miley Cyrus’ portrayal of Montana.

Despite being rather fluffy lyric-wise, these songs still manage to be better that pretty much all of today’s reigning pop princesses. Cyrus’ vocals are much better than the likes of Ashlee Simpson and Avril Lavigne. She also seems like an altogether nicer person than either of them.

Her father deserves respect, who real fans of country music know spent many, many years trying to make it before hitting with “Achy Breaky Heart.” The guy isn’t as cheesy as you’d think, and is actually a truer country artist than most of today’s mainstream stars like Tim McGraw and Kenny Chesney. It appears that he and his wife are taking the right steps to prevent their daughter from turning into a teenage burn-out queen like Britney Spears or so many other teen stars who couldn’t handle being on top.

Highlights of the album include the show’s theme, “Best Of Both Worlds,” “Who Said,” and “This Is The Life.” A few of the songs are from other artists and other than the Click Five’s “Pop Princess,” they are a definite step down from the pop quality of Cyrus’ tracks.

Overall, it must be said that any person who really enjoys pop music will find that this is one of the better albums out there. It also looks as if many of its songs will have a longer shelf life than many other pop songs that are currently out there. Definitely buy this if you have a daughter between the ages of six and twelve. It’s great music for them to listen to.

Hannah Montana 2 – Meet Miley Cyrus

Hannah Montana 2 - Meet Miley Cyrus graphic

Miley Cyrus Hannah Montana 2 Meet Miley Cyrus 300x300 Hannah Montana 2 Meet Miley CyrusThe two-disc Hannah Montana 2: Meet Miley Cyrus release is a worthy successor to her no. 1 album of last year. As of this writing, at least seven of the songs from that first album have cracked the top 100 (Billboard). Additionally, the Hannah Montana 2: Meet Miley Cyrus album placed no. 1 on the Billboard charts during its first week of release.

For those of you who don’t know what the big deal is about, Miley Cyrus sounds like a younger Avril Lavinge, but with more varied musical tastes. Much of her music is straight-forward pop-rock (evoking some of the new Kelly Clarkson), and some of it is decidedly experimental (Latin & Reggae tunes on a couple of tracks). Its evident they wanted to make a record that everybody would love, and yes, I can guarantee that much of this is juvenile and really quite repugnant.

However, if theres one thing that stands out – it’s the voice. Miley Cyrus has a raspy, throaty voice that is really unlike most pop-queens. Listening to her voice makes you realize just how thin and boring Lindsay Lohan sounds on record. Yes, shes that good, but the music isn’t exactly groundbreaking.

The tunes on this double CD set, like those included on the initial soundtrack release, are again cleverly written. Among the genres and styles covered are ballads (“One In a Million” and “Make Some Noise”), rock, techno-pop, and a smidge of hip-hop, as well as songs containing both Spanish (“Let’s Dance”) and reggae (“Clear”) elements.

There are also some tracks (e.g. “Old Blue Jeans” and “See You Again,” among others) which incorporate slightly more complex harmonies–harmonies that should keep those whom are musically inclined engaged and attentive. Among the ballads represented, it is pleasing to note that not all are about the all-too-common subject of love (e.g., “Make Some Noise”)
