Miley Cyrus released a brand new song called “Wrecking Ball.” Bill Lamb wrote a review about this song and pointed out the pros and the cons. He uses claims of value throughout the whole article and mentions some points for claims of fact and policy. He says that Miley’s performance in the song is strong but it sounds like “Dr. Luke tossed off the production in his spare time after devoting more attention to Katy Perry.” A pro he mentions is that she had strong vocal performance. She hits high notes throughout song and one could hear the strong vocals Lamb is talking about (claim of fact). A con he mentions is that it is an overly familiar production (claim of policy). Many artists in this day are making music that sounds strongly a like and it is no surprise Miley’s song sounds familiar to other songs that have been made. Another con Lamb mentions is lack of development in the lyrics (claim of policy). By saying this, he means that the song’s lyrics have not been put much time into it and some lyrics are repeated much like other pop songs. Lamb talks about how Miley is becoming controversial about what she is doing in her career and how “Wrecking Ball” is boring after hearing it a couple times knowing how crazy she has become (claims of value). Lamb mentions that her vocals are pleasant to hear but the song has weak elements (claims of value). The song is talking about how entering a relationship is “like a wrecking ball” and she says in the song “all you did was wreck me.” Lamb says how that is too easy that the point is not developed (claims of value). Lamb says at the end of the article that Miley’s old song “The Climb” is better and people should listen to that (claims of value).
