Mid-Week Song

 

Known for her youthful boundary-stretching performances and lifestyle, Miley Cyrus has evolved from a teen pop star to a polished singer across several genres. She's Billboard's ninth greatest female artist of all time, and has given millions of her earnings to charities, from HIV/AIDs research,to PETA, to LGBTQ youth support programs and more (but of course: she's Dolly Parton's goddaughter). Cyrus has supported many progressive causes and candidates, too, including Black Lives Matter, President Obama and Hillary Clinton. Her newly-released single, the candid, introspective and beautifully sung "Used To Be Young," has been lauded by a variety of stars from Adele to Diane Keaton for its powerful narrative and her tearful raw emotion, sung in her trademark slightly raspy voice. Enjoy.

Thanks for sharing. She keeps surprising me with her odd excellence no matter the style she sings.
