Miley Cyrus: Tiny Desk (Home) Concert

The Tiny Desk is working from home for the foreseeable future. Introducing NPR Music's Tiny Desk (home) concerts, bringing you performances from across the country and the world. It's the same spirit - stripped-down sets, an intimate setting - just a different space.
Miley Cyrus has always understood that music is theater. So it's no surprise that, visiting the imaginative space that is the Tiny Desk, she transforms it into something both fantastical and true to her topsy-turvy Mileyness.
Cyrus ruled preteen hearts on the small screen before mastering pop stardom's big stages, and throughout her career she's played with sound and image in unexpected and even controversial ways. And she's never balanced pop's glorious artifice with her own soulful authenticity more self-assuredly than she does on her latest album, the rock and roll manifesto Plastic Hearts.
Here, the scene opens with Cyrus, dressed head to toe in rock-star faux fur, in what looks like a teenage girl's bedroom. But the perspective in this pink-and-purple space feels a little ... odd. As Cyrus sings, it becomes clear that this is her Wonderland - like Alice full of magical cake, she's grown to exceed her surroundings. By the end of this three-song set, Cyrus reveals that it's the adolescent enclave that grew too small for her, not the other way around.
The songs Cyrus offers are as direct and affecting as the set is whimsical. Cyrus has lately proven herself one of pop's great interpretive vocalists, and she scores another triumph with her version of Mazzy Star's "Fade Into You," a hazy psychedelic anthem that she infuses with just the edge of the next day's hangover. The two songs from Plastic Hearts that follow are her own bids at classic-rock timelessness. In "Golden G-String" Cyrus assesses her own life in the spotlight with Leonard Cohen-esque charm. And "Prisoner" is the power ballad that lets Cyrus really break out - as she leaves the tiny room - just a box, it turns out, on a soundstage - and joins her band, she's as free and self-confident as she's ever been.

[@hellooxymoron]

I dont see anyone talking about the symbolism of her backdrop. This set is extremely moving musically, but she's also seemed to put herself in a child's room or child's sized theme as a way of showing shes grown out of the way that people whove seen her in Hannah Montana think of her. She's grown so much from her childhood. She's so much bigger than that. Her sound is something we've yearned for in this age demographic. Its so unique and beautiful and shouldn't be confined to such a childlike mindset.

[@dougdavis8986]

You think too much. It's a tiny desk concert.

[@4Kingc]

Pretty sure that its just a Tiny (home) Concert joke.

[@AbelZermeno]

@@dougdavis8986 Actually, they are correct. The backdrop is suppose to be her childhood room. She did the same thing for an Amazon winter special. It wasn't tiny like this, so it does play into the tiny desk concept but the original comment still stands. I think she also confirmed this herself

[@teresitaperegrina3741]

Highly under appreciated, she isn’t even mainstream at this point. None of her new stuff gets radio play and when people talk about they talk about her Bangerz era which was ten years ago! She’ll get her credit soon 🧡

[@whom382]

I can suggest an alternative theory. She's appreciated for the wrong things. Her originals don't play to her strengths.

[@mibukdesjarlais534]

Don't worry because on the day when Miley eventually passes on and leaves behind an amazing legacy all the people that didn't appreciate her will wallow away in their regret and misery for not appreciating Miley sooner. I'm so happy and grateful that I've been supporting and loving this Queen since her Hannah Montana days. Plus sometimes the most underrated gems in the cave are usually the most beautiful and rarest gems you'll ever find. 👑💖💎

I remember hearing on a Joe Rogan podcast that she really tore her vocal chords from years of singing but they ripped in a special way that it gave he a more raspy voice.

Miley’s voice is absolutely ethereal and underrated. It’s so distinct, as soon you hear it you know it’s her. So powerful, unique and diverse. Not to mention she’s a badass. She’s been criticized so so much by everyone, it’s a miracle she’s still here giving us music.

@@Whatever3232323 dude you realize theres no "good music" right? music is just an invention of humans, only being sounds represented by notes and combine to form chords which then create some harmony which we find appealing and satisfying. If the majority of human cant determine which music is good then that goes against its whole purpose. I can agree there can be better singers determined by their vocal range but at least for me thats not enough for me to enjoy music.

She is not mainstream anymore. She has moved from it and she is making very valuable art that is much better than current mainstream. It matches better some past generations and if she manages to hold on to it, she will accustom younger generations to it also, for the big benefit of music and them.

[@TheMysonishere]

Wow I'm blown away. This showcases just how good and how clear of a perception this woman has developed of herself. Clear references and links to Dolly Parton, yet so distinctly different; I never thought someone could transform the great Dolly into something far greater. Raw in a whole different context, whereas Dolly captures your heart, Miley captures the primal feelings. Edgy yet elegant. The sheer control of her voice paired with this sense of self is just indescribable with words. The leans into the rasp, the prosody, all of it outstanding. Miley has already cemented her fame a few times; she's back to do it again.
