This introductory single is by far the coolest summer
release this year, from a mainstream artist, whose personal life gets more
media attention than her actual art. You don’t expect much from Miley, even
though I love her much. She’s a grown musician or you can say, a smart musician
who knows which producer to hire and she did just the right thing with “We
can’t stop”.
The song starts out with a BeeBoop style vocal phrase, moves
to Miley’s very weird pipes, the bridge kicks in Disney style, “La La Di Da Di,
we like to party” then synths build up, slows down again and the chorus kicks
in hard on the bass, synths however lazy on the vocals. Even though her press
release states that she mentions “Dancing with Miley” it would be nice of her
to say “Molly” because let’s face it, molly’s fun, kids molly is beer ok? ;-). Periodically
it phases with the same formula and then Miley or possibly a computer screams
the high notes then the song progresses into the kicking chorus and teases you
with so infectious in a California driving off the sunset way that you are
possessed to hit repeat again and again. If you take the formula or the syntax
of how the song is arranged, it’s very similar to Robyn’s “Dancing On My Own”.
Musically, the song is a synth pop song with elements of
R&B. It’s cool to say the least with space for remixes to gain it’s
entrance into the night clubs. The lyrics are all about being young, being
independent and partying. Miley sounds grown up, with her Disney days well
behind she comes off as a natural born skank who’s trying to act good for the
book, being politically correct in other words. It also
comes off as Miley finally legal to do stuff that grownups do, she’s the hot
sweet teenage girl who’s experimenting with fashion hairstyles, substances,
drinks and sexing a little bit recklessly at college. We love everything about
the transaction; it reminds me of another hot teen queen that started the sex
drive change thing, Ms. American dream since she was 17, ring a bell?
