Have you ever heard? Miley Cyrus has a brand new music out, and it is not from Could’s EP SHE IS COMING. Known as On a Roll, it is an adaptation of a 9 Inch Nails music and options in an episode of the newest season of Black Mirror. It is tacky, Britney Spears-y and tailor-made to youngsters. And I am unashamed to say I completely find it irresistible.

Within the episode, Rachel, Jack and Ashley Too, you hear elements of the music all through however by no means in full. That modified with the discharge of the music video on Thursday, when Netflix answered a query of curiosity: is the music nearly as good because the snippets sound? Sure. Sure, it’s.

Granted, one of many lyrics, “hey ya whoah-ho” really appears like “hey I am a hoe,” and it makes you query whether or not your music style actually is identical because the younger obsessed teenage woman of the episode, however hey. I am a fan.

Collection creator Charlie Brooker needed to safe clearance from NIN’s Trent Reznor earlier than adjusting the lyrics. For instance, “I would fairly die than offer you management” grew to become the marginally extra healthful “Driving so excessive, reaching my objectives.”

“Trent obtained it immediately, it was through e mail and he was actually completely happy fairly rapidly,” Brooker stated at a press occasion, in response to iNews. “He needed to see the script, and I obtained to rewrite his lyrics in a chirpy manner. I am not the very best lyricist on the earth, within the first music she’s singing: ‘I am stoked on ambition and verve’ as an alternative of ‘You are gonna get what you deserve.'”

For reference, that is the unique NIN music:

The Black Mirror episode itself sees Cyrus play Ashley O, a pop singer whose overbearing administration exploits her to horrifying Black Mirror ranges. Ashley O’s newest merch is an Alexa-like companion robotic known as Ashley Too, which teenager Rachel and her sister Jack work together with. A comparatively lighter episode, with a caper-like plot-line involving a rat van, it explores what expertise can do within the music business.

Add Ashley O alongside Hannah Montana to the Miley Cyrus entourage.
