Also consisted of on the task’s visitor listing is Cyrus, Parton’s real-life goddaughter; last month, both shared a duet variation of the 30-year-old pop celebrity’s 2013 hit “Wrecking Ball,” which will certainly show up on the cd.
“Yours and Miley’s voices are perfect together,” Williams informed Parton of the cooperation in their meeting, released by Consequence Monday (Nov. 6). “You on this song, it feels like a song that you could have written.”
“Well, I wish I had written that song,” responded the “9 to 5” vocalist. “Miley, I’m crazy about. I don’t think people even know how talented she is.”
“I think what, unfortunately, people do is really underestimate based on presentation or based on the fact that she came from Disney,” concurred the Paramore frontwoman. “And she’s already proven that she’s got the chops: She’s a great singer, a writer.”
“Her comedic timing I think is unbelievable,” Parton included. “She’s a great writer and that voice… I think she’s the new, modern day rock chick. That thing that’s got the grit and the soul and the sex appeal. She’s got that voice when she can go down in that bourbon and cigarette voice, but she can also sing a song so delicate. I mean, she’s just got everything she needs.”

So I thought, if I’m ever gonna do it, I’m doing it now, so I can feel I earned it.”
Another celebrity understood for rotating far from c and w — albeit far more completely than Parton — is Taylor Swift, that lately opened concerning why she admires the “Jolene” artist. “She’s never stopped challenging herself to clear new hurdles and explore new territory artistically, and I think that speaks to her great curiosity about the human condition,” Swift informed the Hollywood Reporter recently. “She’s a legendary empath and the storyteller for the ages. She’s also having the most fun doing it.”
