Noah Cyrus comes into her own with the masterful 'I Want My Loved Ones to Go With Me,' featuring Fleet Foxes, Blake Shelton, Ella Langley and more.
Although she’s always been a strong singer, she seemed to struggle with establishing her own identity as an artist, as suggested by the fact that she’s collaborated over the years with everyone from XXXtentacion to Labrinth to Death Cab for Cutie’s Ben Gibbard, and released songs with titles like “Fuckyounoah,” “I Got So High I Saw Jesus,” “Mr. But after all that, at the age of 25, she’s found it: “‘I Want My Loved Ones to Go With Me,” her second full-length, is a remarkable and unexpectedly mature album, which features a similarly wide range of collaborators — from indie icons the Fleet Foxes and Smog’s Bill Callahan to country vet Blake Shelton and newcomer Ella Langley — but also a clarity of vision that her previous releases rarely approached.
