Miley Cyrus's 'Bass Persuades' is pretty and passable but light on bass or persuasion, Variety review finds

Variety's review of Miley Cyrus's tenth studio album, "Bass Persuades," finds the record pretty and passable but surprisingly short on both bass and persuasion. The title track, released as the first single two and a half weeks ahead of the album, promised a collection of bangers and some mild scolding of young listeners — a promise the full album, the critic concludes, does not quite deliver on.
