Album: Noah Cyrus – The Hardest Part (Deluxe)
On her debut LP, The Hardest Part, the 22-year-old Noah Cyrus carves out a musical lane all her own, the direct result of a lot of life lived: heartbreak and rehab, loss and love. With some help from collaborator and producer Mike Crossey, and the exclusive use of live instruments, the record is a modern country-pop opus, cinematic and nostalgic. “Not a [single] computer sample,” she smiles. “I wanted to bring that warm, comforting feeling of Nashville.”
