Miley Cyrus is inspired by Melissa Etheridge
Pop star Miley Cyrus' new electro-pop beat single See You Again (which samples '80s hit Sunglasses at Night) is a top-10 smash on Billboard's Pop 100 chart, and hit No. 11 on the Hot 100. Miley, who's currently working on a new album, told the Houston Chronicle:
"It happened organically, which never happens, ever. Radio stations don't just pick up an album and decide to play it, especially someone like me. Honestly, I know that. Everyone knows that. My record label, they were kind of confused and weren't ready to hop onboard yet (and push it as a single). I said, 'Guys, dude, this is a stinkin' hit..'
..I'm taking chances on the new album, it has a weird and crazy new sound. The last album was a little more produced, a little more girlie. I'm really a huge fan of the Killers, and another one of my favorite artists is Melissa Etheridge.
I love that mixture of techno-rock; that's a very Killers vibe; then you'll hear Melissa Etheridge, more earthy with her voice, and it's not a bunch of tuned-up stuff. You'll hear her voice crack, and it sounds awesome.
It's either going to do really well or people are going to be like, what? What is she doing?' It won't be a dual album. It'll be all me. People will see how much I love music."
