This shedding of MONTANA persona gives the outing the assertive feel of a debut, as readily heard on the triumphant title track and the jangly, fast-paced "7 Things." Cyrus also takes on Cyndi Lauper's 1980s hit "Girls Just Wanna Have Fun," imbuing the giddy tune with the same kind of 21st-century sheen that No Doubt gave to Talk Talk's "It's My Life." | | Naturally, Billy Ray's daughter makes room for some introspective ballads during the second half of BREAKOUT, with "Bottom of the Ocean" and "Four Walls" distinguishing themselves as moody and mature songs that expand Miley's teeny-bopper sound. There are no major curveballs on BREAKOUT, just accessible pop/rock tracks that showcase a steadily developing artist in the spotlight. |
Producer: John Fields; Scott Cutler |
| | Artist Overview | | Better known to her legion of adoring tween fans as fictional TV popstar HANNAH MONTANA, singer/actress Miley Cyrus (born Destiny Hope Cyrus) is the daughter of country crooner Billy Ray Cyrus, who also plays her father on the hit Disney series. Following a similar career path to Mouse House alum Hilary Duff, Miley moved easily from acting to music, with her energetic pop/rock songs proving to be an essential part of HANNAH MONTANA's runaway success. With the second MONTANA album, subtitled MEET MILEY CYRUS, the young performer made the first steps towards a promising recording career under her own name. |

| | Professional Reviews | | Rolling Stone (p.84)
- 3.5 stars out of 5 -- "With BREAKOUT, Disney's queen bee finally has a sophisticated pop record under her own name....The songs feel genuine."Entertainment Weekly (p.69)
- "BREAKOUT's best tunes let Cyrus be feisty without graduating to Avril-like levels of petulance: 'Full Circle,' 'The Driveway,' and the single '7 Things,' which veers from sensitive breakup song in the strummy verses to punky-pop kiss-off in the double-time choruses." -- Grade: B |
