"Breakout" (Hollywood Records): It must be tough to be a 15-year-old girl with two names. That's the case for Miley Cyrus, who is more well known as the lead in the Disney series "Hannah Montana." The daughter of country singer Billy Ray Cyrus has released two solo albums in connection with the TV show, but "Breakout" is the first album with no relation to the show or the Hannah character.

Compared to "Identified," the recent solo record from Disney star Vanessa Hudgens, "Breakout" is an absolute masterpiece filled with saccharine, bubblegum pop that's as catchy as it is inconsequential. Opening with new wavey title track, Cyrus comes out of the gate sounding like the new frontwoman for The Go-Go's, which shouldn't be a surprise because that band's drummer, Gina Shock, co-wrote the song. It's instantly hummable.

In fact, the first three songs on "Breakout" all capture the boundless energy necessary to pull off an album of this type of teen pop. It's nonstop hooks. And then comes a cover of Cyndi Lauper's classic "Girls Just Want To Have Fun." As bad as a Cyrus take on this tune might sound on paper, this version works. Adding strings and big guitars and a late '80s vibe, the song manages to sound current and nostalgic and timeless all at once. Seriously.
