Musical FaceOff: Miley Cyrus vs. Selena Gomez
10:44 AM
It
is indeed a battle of tracks from these former-Disney Stars. Miley Cyrus and Selena Gomez released their new singles on the same day. Miley Cyrus’ slow-tempo track “We
Can’t Stop” faces Selena Gomez’ with “Slow Down”, follow-up of her
smash hit “Come & Get It”.
Released
on the same day, June 4th, “We
Can’t Stop” is Miley Cyrus’ comeback track for her yet-untitled album while
Selena Gomez’ “Slow Down”, produced
by The Cataracts, is from her
upcoming album, Stars Dance.
Honestly,
Miley’s track was a letdown for me. I was expecting a catchy and addictive
hook, something that this song does not have. However, “We Can’t Stop” is a
total grower song. At first I didn’t like it, but I found myself humming to the
track’s melody out of nowhere.
The
case is different with Selena’s “Slow
Down”. I absolutely LOVED it, the first time I heard. It’s a type of track
that may have Britney a run of her money. But the catch of it, I tend to forget
the song’s melody and even the lyrics!
In
a Hashtag
Battle on Twitter, the
numbers are in favor for Cyrus’ “We Can’t
Stop”, beating Gomez’ “Slow Down” for the month of June up to this writing.
But
in the end, it all comes down to the listeners. Which former Disney Superstar got
a better track?

True, "We Can't Stop" is no "Party in the USA", but it's definitely different than anything that's playing on the radio these days.
ReplyDelete"Slow Down", while a catchy and fun dance track, it's painfully basic. It's sounds exactly like her other songs; there's nothing even remotely interesting or different than anything else she's come out with.
I have to give props to Miley for evolving in her musical sound. She's a far more interesting musical artist.
