Bangerz

Bangerz is the fourth studio album by American singer Miley Cyrus, released on September 27, 2013, by RCA Records. Characterized by its exploration of hip hop, pop, and country genres, Bangerz is considered a departure from Cyrus's earlier pop-oriented work.

The album features collaborations with producers and artists such as Mike WiLL Made-It, Pharrell Williams, Britney Spears, and Nelly. Lyrically, Bangerz explores themes of love, relationships, identity, and rebellion.

Bangerz spawned the singles "We Can't Stop" and "Wrecking Ball," both of which achieved significant commercial success and generated considerable media attention due to their accompanying music videos and Cyrus's provocative image. The album debuted at number one on the Billboard 200 chart and received mixed to positive reviews from music critics, who praised its experimental sound but also criticized its lyrical content and perceived inconsistency.

The release of Bangerz marked a pivotal moment in Cyrus's career, solidifying her transition from a teen idol to a more mature and controversial artist. The album's success and accompanying publicity helped redefine Cyrus's public image and influenced her subsequent musical direction.
