In episode forty‑eight of Skip’d, Rob & Mike dive headfirst into Plastic Hearts, the bold, glam‑rock‑infused reinvention from Miley Cyrus. Released in 2020, Plastic Hearts finds Cyrus stepping confidently into a sound she’d been circling for years: a fusion of rock, synth‑pop, punk energy, and smoky, late‑night vulnerability. Across its tracklist, she explores heartbreak, self‑destruction, desire, and the strange clarity that comes after everything falls apart.

From its explosive openers to its reflective closing moments, . Rob & Mike unpack how she crafted a sound that feels both timeless and freshly charged, and why this album marks a turning point not just in her career, but in her artistic identity. Whether you’ve followed Miley Cyrus through every era or you’re stepping into her world through this record, this episode explores why Plastic Hearts remains a standout moment of reinvention, resilience, and rock‑star confidence.
