Miley Cyrus - The Time Of Our Lives reviewReleased August 2009 by Hollywood Records.

It's no doubt that Miley Cyrus' single "Party In the USA" is a powerhouse. The good news here is that much of this brief EP of seven songs holds up to it. Cyrus is developing one of the more distinctive vocal instruments in current pop music, and her songs are turning slowly to reflective adult concerns. Consistent growth and improvement is the key here, and looks likely to turn Miley Cyrus into a long-term pop star.
Dr. Luke and Claude Kelly Work Their Magic

Lukasz Gottwald, aka Dr. Luke, has played a significant role in successful recordings by Kelly Clarkson, Avril Lavigne and Britney Spears. Now, along with more recent collaborator Claude Kelly, he is applying his skills to working with Miley Cryus. Once again a little musical magic has taken place. "Party In the USA" is her top artistic achievement so far being very effective in its combination of upbeat lyrics with a reflective, midtempo feel in the music. The other song the pair contribute to here, the title cut "Time Of Our Lives," is nearly as strong. The song encourages not worrying so much about the future and simply focusing on the present and having a good time together. It's a simple messsage delivered effectively....full text

Nobody outside of the ‘Hannah Montana’ viewership realistically expected Miley Cyrus’ ‘Breakout’ album to be anything above average, and yet here we are one year later and the plucky 16 year-old Texan just keeps on proving everyone wrong. Some may find her a bit “too Disney”, and she still isn’t completely free of making the occasional error in judgement (performing at a kids’ award ceremony in a revealing outfit and dancing around a pole perhaps wasn’t a high point), but you have to credit the girl for showing all the signs of a potentially brilliant popstar in her own right. Now, as she juggles various film projects and gears up for one final season of the pre-teen TV phenomenon that shot her to stardom, she’s releasing seven-track EP ‘The Time Of Our Lives’ to keep us satisfied until she brings out another ‘proper’ album.

Unfortunately the early signs aren’t promising – opener ‘Kicking and Screaming’ is a cover of – wait for it – an Ashlee Simpson album track. It’s not weak because it’s an Ashlee Simpson album track (although, let’s face it, it was never going to be amazing), but more because it’s just not suited to Cyrus at all. There’s no doubt that Simpson is a far inferior singer, but if you listen to both versions in quick succession it’s obvious that her husky tones are much better suited to this song than the happy-go-lucky pipes of smiley Miley....full text

No matter how many provocative Annie Leibowitz shots Miley Cyrus poses for, as long as her sole professional association is with Disney TV and its record label, she'll always find it hard to convince those past puberty that there's much more to her than concentrated gosh-darned-shucks wholesomeness. She is wholesome, that much is undeniable, but she has her name on plenty of inventive, imaginative and precisely calibrated examples of modern chart pop, songs that would have been noticed beyond her audience of young girls had they come from a more credible source. This mini-album opens with one such, Kicking and Screaming, a declamatory techno-rock exercise of the sort that characterised Girls Aloud's golden period. Party in the USA is a cute pop song, with a clever clash between feathery jazz guitar chords and a booming synth bassline serving as hook. But it's downhill from there, thanks to a run of inferior ballads arrested only at the very close by one rather superior ballad, The Climb - but that's been bussed in from the Hannah Montana movie soundtrack to add some ballast since this collection's US release....full text
