Miley Cyrus is opening up about the feedback she’s faced as a singer in the music industry.
The “Wrecking Ball” songstress, spoke in Interview yesterday and during the chat she revealed she occasionally receives flak for her low voice.
She said in her whole life, whether in vocal training or just continuing to hone her craft, it’s always been about, ‘Why do you sound like a man? Why can’t you sing the high octave of ‘Party in the U.S.A.’ anymore?’
According to Miley Cyrus, her voice is how she represents and expresses herself.
She said quote, “I’ve worked with so many people who tell me, ‘We’re going to have to bring in a singer to hit those high parts.’ You know, ‘falsetto’ is this Latin term for when a boy goes through puberty, but they still want him to sing in the choir. It means ‘false.’ “
Cyrus also talked about her recent Metallica cover of “Nothing Else Matters,” which she sang on the tribute album The Metallica Blacklist and which is also featured on Elton John‘s upcoming record The Lockdown Sessions.
She says this song means something to her on the deepest level,” adding that she “felt free” while performing it.
