At the 2020 MTV Video Music Awards, Miley Cyrus performed Midnight Sky (one of the singles from this seventh studio album) while swinging on a giant disco ball. But in contrast to Charlie Chaplin’s globe in The Dictator, this glittering ball did not explode at the end of the performance. The ex-Disney child star securely remained in place upon this symbol of disco music as if to demonstrate her freedom is indestructible and indissociable from her musical expression. In this song, she stresses that she “belongs to no one” and that she is “born to run”. But while the disco in this lively record is tinted with airs of punk and rock, there are still elements of bubble-gum pop that show that the past Cyrus has not completely disappeared. Prisoner is a perfect example of this with its persistent melody that lightly illustrates a more sophisticated, feminist theme and Cyrus’ assured and slightly gravelly voice. Plastic Rock embodies influences of some pop-rock and feminist icons from the 80s and 90s. The record sleeve’s design features photography from legendary rock photographer Mick Rock and outfits by the stylist Jean-Paul Gaultier – the ultimate proof of Cyrus’ Madonna-esque high-heeled feminist approach. The features and covers on this album follow the theme such as the jumbled duo Black Karma with Joan Jett (known for her cover of I Love Rock’n’Roll in 1982), as well as live covers of the Cranberries (Zombie) and Blondie (Heart of Glass).
