Three years after first flaunting her new found maturity in "Can't Be Tamed," Miley Cyrus is still out to prove that she's a grown up. She couldn't wait any longer to rock out and has emerged from a creative cocoon of sorts to release an outlandish comeback mind-blowing surreal video for "We Can't Stop," the lead single to her upcoming fourth still-untitled effort. The 20-year-old former Disney star can't stop trying to shed her Disney image and just wants to clear the air once and for all.
Cyrus has asked her followers to repeatedly watch the "We Can't Stop" clip in order to break a record on Vevo -- a goal that may just come to fruition. Less than two hours after it was posted on YouTube, the video has so far received 2,581,767 views (and counting) and more than 100,000 likes. The clip is fantastically unhinged and purposefully button-pushing; this music video simply needs to be seen to be believed. The song itself was quick to stir up controversy with a reference to cocaine and an easily misheard non-reference to the drug Molly.
Cyrus described the Mike WiLL Made-It produced song as "more funky and R&B, pop" than her earlier records, calling it "infectious"; she also said that it is "exactly what I wanted the first sound to be," and that she kept the song in secret for one year. The lyrics of the song talk about a party, such as, "This is our house/ This is our rules and we can't stop/ And we won't stop." Cyrus admits that the single says "where I am in my life right now." There's something kind of brilliantly woozy about it; it sounds quintessentially California. The whole thing just feels strange, and kind of wonderful. It's a grown-up sequel to "Party in the U.S.A." She's just partying a little harder now.
Directed by Diane Martel, the house party-themed clip is kind of an extreme mashup between a Sky Ferreira video and Lady Gaga's "Just Dance" video infused with Cyrus' new image. It's more reminiscent of Fiona Apple's provocative "Criminal" video than anything the former Disney Channel star ever did in the past. When she's not twerking, spanking her pals or dry-humping the bed, she is seen dancing with teddy bears and making out with her Barbie doll alter-ego in the pool. Smoke billows from crotches, paint spills from hands and Cyrus continues to think that wearing sunglasses indoors is cool. All in all, proving that she is, indeed, about dat life.
