Review
You absolutely need to check out Miley Cyrus' EP "The Time of Our Lives"! Dropped on August 28, 2009, this totally marks a major shift in her musical vibe. It's packed with seven pop-rock bangers, primarily produced by John Shanks and Dr. Luke. Critics were all about it, loving how it bridges her early stuff with a more grown-up sound. And get this, "Party in the U.S.A." is on here, and it skyrocketed to number two on the Billboard Hot 100. Talk about an anthem!
Another gem on the EP is "When I Look at You," which also promoted her movie "The Last Song." Miley mostly let others handle the writing, except for the live version of "Before the Storm" with the Jonas Brothers (hello, nostalgia!). Despite that, her evolving style totally shines through. This EP didn’t just resonate with fans; it was a blockbuster—hitting number two on the Billboard 200 and going triple platinum. It even rocked the charts internationally, making waves in places like Greece, Austria, and Spain. "The Time of Our Lives" is a major milestone in Miley’s journey, blending pop and rock like a pro and hinting at the genre-hopping queen she would become. - Melody
