It seems whilst Miley isn't practising her new found love for twerking, the singer is able to show off a more vulnerable side and let everyone in on what really goes on up in that head of hers. The video itself is directed by the controversial fashion photographer Terry Richardson, so of course when viewing you should expect the unexpected.
What I really enjoyed about this video was actually how beautiful it is. At first glance, after that raunchy VMA performance, and the controversial reference to "Molly" in "We Can't Stop" it would be pretty damn easy to think Miley was just being raunchy and racey in the new video, but instead of you listen to the lyrics in the single and take into account what it really is about, you're able to appreciate just how vulnerable and beautiful this video is. Sure, she's riding around naked on a wrecking ball, but isn't that the point? Miley's opening up about feeling naked, vulnerable and exposed, and I believe the reference to exposure to be genius.
My only qualm with this very good video is Miley licking the sledge hammer that she uses to break down the walls, it does add some level of sex to what should be something artistic, although, as pointed out to me, this could well be a reference to the singer licking up whats happened, accepting it and taking empowerment from it.
Enough of what I think though, watch the artistic video below and make your own judgements:
