Why Miley Cyrus is the ultimate 21st-Century pop star (BBC News)

From pop-rock to R&B and country-disco, the chameleonic Miley Cyrus has done it all. With single Flowers a huge hit and LP Endless Summer Vacation out today ...

'this pushed me out of the hip-hop scene a little' was insensitive as it is a privilege to have the ability to dip in and out of ‘the scene," Cyrus Cyrus followed her triumphant Glastonbury performance by honing her rock chops on 2020's retro-leaning Plastic Hearts album, for which she duetted with two icons of the genre: Joan Jett and Billy Idol. During the same year, Cyrus returned to hip-hop-infused pop with She Is Coming, a well-received EP featuring collaborations with Wu-Tang Clan rapper Ghostface Killah, singer-rapper Swae Lee and drag icon RuPaul. She raised eyebrows in particular for her exuberant embrace of twerking, a dance form that originated on the black-led bounce scene in 1980s New Orleans, and for surrounding herself in music videos with women of colour. Hugh McIntyre, a music journalist with Forbes, believes "it is accurate to call Cyrus a shapeshifter or a chameleon" because "she has shown, time and time again, that she can deliver high-quality music that performs well in a variety of genres". "It was Miley's moment to step out of the Disney spotlight and try something edgier and more adult, and that is always going to be received with some caution," he says. “It’s mind-boggling to me that there was even a controversy around me having black dancers," Cyrus protested to [Billboard](https://www.billboard.com/music/features/miley-cyrus-cover-story-new-music-malibu-7783997/) when asked about the latter in 2017. However, it is important to acknowledge that Cyrus's Bangerz era also attracted a more valid strain of criticism – namely, that she had cherry-picked aspects of black culture to accentuate her new, edgier image. Cyrus and subtlety haven't always gone hand in hand – she quite literally rode a wrecking ball in the video for her 2013 chart-topper Wrecking Ball – but Flowers is notable for its vocal and musical restraint. McIntyre notes that though Cyrus has not "tackled everything" musically, "she has done rock and pop and electronic music, and even leaned into country and hip-hop from time to time". See You Again, a standout single from the Meet Miley Cyrus side, offered a glimpse of the pop-savvy but idiosyncratic artist she would blossom into. Since Cyrus launched her recording career 17 years ago, when she played a fictional pop star in the hit Disney series Hannah Montana, she has released everything from peppy pop-rock to risqué R&B, and reflective folk-pop to spangly country-disco.

Miley Cyrus: Endless Summer Vacation review – gossip, grit and ... (The Guardian)

After years trying to reconcile chart success with her leftfield musical instincts, the singer has delivered a hazily atmospheric album that plays to her ...

The other is to be a more traditional or even leftfield artist, making records that highlight the Stevie Nicks-ish qualities of her voice: the Miley Cyrus who roared her way through a lockdown cover of Pink Floyd’s Wish You Were Here, who followed up Bangerz with the Flaming Lips collaboration [Miley Cyrus and Her Dead Petz](https://www.theguardian.com/music/2015/aug/31/miley-cyrus-her-dead-petz-first-listen-review), then followed that up with 2017’s country-rock flavoured [Younger Now](https://www.theguardian.com/music/2017/sep/28/miley-cyrus-younger-now-review-rca). You can virtually hear the click-clacking of gossip-blog posts being typed in the background of Jaded – in which Cyrus lets an ex have it with both barrels – and Rose Colored Lenses’s languid depiction of post-coital bliss. The first is to be a 21st-century pop star, making the kind of committee-written electronic hits that 21st-century pop stars tend to make, as was the case with her 2013 album It also deploys the fashionable device of scattering in a trail of clues about its real-life subject. You might have thought the whole business of leaking albums belonged to a past era, before streaming supplanted downloads, and that people are now largely happy to adhere to the schedule knowing they’ll be able to stream the album for free when it arrives. It’s hit No 1 everywhere from Poland to Paraguay, seven weeks and counting at the top of the British charts, its lyrics and video painstakingly scanned by a media and fanbase eager to discover references to Cyrus’s ex-husband Liam Hemsworth, three years after their divorce.

Critique du nouvel album de Miley Cyrus : de toutes ses couleurs pop (Le Journal de Québec)

Son nouvel album Endless Summer Vacations fait une éloquente démonstration de sa capacité de sauter d'un style musical à l'autre.

La première s'inspire d'ailleurs de la synth-pop des années 1980 et nous renvoie à ses premiers albums, en particulier Can’t Be Tamed. Cependant, penser que le reste de sa nouvelle création renfermerait une série de titres suivant la même direction musicale aurait été mal la connaître. « Tu sens un parfum que je ne t’ai pas acheté.

A Love Letter to Miley Cyrus' Backyard Sessions—and Her 5 Best ... (TIME)

Miley Cyrus' popular YouTube performance series is being revived on Disney+ for the release of her new album, Endless Summer Vacation.

She also knows when to push her vocal range to its absolute limit, as she does during her “Zombie” performance, and when to scale back, as she does on “Sweet Jane.” Cyrus adds her rock-star sheen to the music, and her voice glides across the melody easily. Releasing this cover of “Jolene” by her godmother, country music legend Dolly Parton, marked the moment that Cryus took control of her narrative. It would be a crime not to put this cover at the top spot because it’s the one that started it all. In 2010, as she geared up for the final season of Hannah Montana, she released her album “Can’t Be Tamed.” The title track charted high on the Billboard 200, but it wasn’t until December 2012 that Cyrus found the perfect venue to showcase her raw vocal ability: her popular YouTube series, “The Backyard Sessions,” in which Cyrus sings stripped-down covers (and later originals) in a casual outdoor setting. Grande smoothly jumps back into the song, and they both have a moment to shine on the last chorus, harmonizing elegantly. On Christmas Eve that year, she uploaded a cover of her godmother Dolly Parton’s seminal 1974 country banger, “Jolene.” It was one of the first times that Cyrus’ signature country twang, which lent itself well to the heartbreaking song, was on full display. The YouTube series took a five-year hiatus, and the first video released when it returned in 2020 was this sinuous cover of a cover: Cyrus is singing the hit Velvet Underground song “Sweet Jane,” but her version is modeled after the hit 1988 cover by New Zealand’s Cowboy Junkies. In the lead-up to the release of her seventh studio album, Plastic Hearts, the former child star slowed down Spears’ “Gimme More” and used her gruff vocals to add a rock edge to one of the pop star’s most notable hits. Noah Cyrus grew up in the shadow of her older sister, which can’t have been easy. Undoubtedly, there are parallels between how the media treated Cyrus in her early days of fame and how they treated her pop elder, Britney Spears. Once the show ended, Cyrus set out to prove herself as a bonafide singer with excellent songwriting skills (see: “7 Things”) that would put a spotlight on her stunning vocals in ways Hannah Montana had not. If you were a child in the late 2000s, there’s a good chance you watched Miley Cyrus in her breakout role on Disney Channel’s Hannah Montana.

On n’aurait pas été étonné d’entendre Maroon 5 sur Island, une chanson qui semble tout droit sortie de son répertoire (et loin d’être la meilleure de l’album de Cyrus). Sur Violet Chemistry, on retrouve les synthés et, en milieu de chanson, la chanteuse se lance dans un couplet qui se rapproche du rap. En ce qui concerne le fond aussi, justement parce que les thématiques de l’amour et de la séparation s’étalent sur tout le disque.

Review | Miley Cyrus takes us on a sexy 'Endless Summer Vacation' (Toronto Star)

Miley Cyrus' latest album “Endless Summer Vacation” — released Friday — is much more than a breakup anthem; it's a rebirth.

“When the floor is wet. “Am I stranded on an island? It turns me on that you care, baby,” she sings. As the sun gets brighter it’s time to wear “Rose Colored Lenses." “I feel you everywhere. Miley Cyrus’ hit "Flowers" made even those in a stable relationship sing out loud with conviction.

“You can definitely see this idea of mayhem on the docks of Miami,” Korine told Vice of the paintings. The director had a 2019 exhibition of paintings at Gagosian called “Young Twitchy.” In [a statement](https://gagosian.com/exhibitions/2019/harmony-korine-young-twitchy/), he explained that the paintings were re-created from photos that he would take on his phone of scenes around Florida, where he lives. “It’s just kind of a strange party that starts to come alive.” It’s also apparent from the paintings that Twitchy is pretty harmless and nice. “Sometimes he gets pissed when people creep up on him,” Korine told Garage. From the paintings, Twitchy indeed seems to enjoy the water, but also seems to prefer hanging out during the day. It’s not just the collaborators that make that track stand out — it’s an eerie electro freak-out that would be more at home on [Bangerz](https://www.vulture.com/2013/10/rosen-on-miley-cyruss-bangerz.html) or [Miley Cyrus & Her Dead Petz](https://www.vulture.com/2015/09/miley-cyruss-dead-petz-is-hard-to-like.html) than this album’s moonlit Malibu pop.

In other words, it’s not hard to see how they’re friends with Cyrus. With a name like that, it’s hard not to be instantly captivated. But in the song’s spoken-word intro (which may be familiar if you saw the [album trailer](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Hn4AGj_aRo4)), Cyrus introduces us to the most memorable figure on this album: Big Twitchy. And, of course, “Handstand,” produced by Cyrus’s drummer boyfriend, Maxx Morando and co-written by [Beach Bum and Spring Breakers filmmaker Harmony Korine](https://www.vulture.com/2019/04/harmony-korine-interview-the-beach-bum.html).

Miley Cyrus Performs 'Endless Summer Vacation' in Disney+ Special (Rolling Stone)

Miley Cyrus performed songs from her eighth studio album 'Endless Summer Vacation' for Disney+ special 'Endless Summer Vacation (Backyard Sessions).'

“The sequencing of an album is very important to me,” she explains, comparing the creation of the album to a film. “When we started writing the song ‘Wonder Woman,’ the lyrics felt like too big of a shoe for me to fill,” she explains. “Boredom for an artist can feel like torture, so I always need to reinvent,” Cyrus explains. “Somehow, that evolved to a song that’s about happiness and joy and being okay with not knowing exactly where you’re going.” “This song is about, I guess, that kind of generational strength and the wisdom that my grandma gave to my mom,” Cyrus adds. and p.m., to kind of represent almost like an act.” The morning is the potential of new possibilities, an unknown about what the next 24-hours may have in store. The house is the same location where she shot the “Flowers” music video, and it’s also the backdrop of [Endless Summer Vacation (Backyard Sessions),](https://www.rollingstone.com/music/music-news/miley-cyrus-backyard-sessions-endless-summer-vacation-1234690323/) the Disney+ special that premiered Friday and finds the singer debuting live performances of songs from her just-released eighth studio [Endless Summer Vacation](https://www.rollingstone.com/music/music-features/miley-cyrus-endless-summer-vacation-reaction-1234694050/). “It just makes me emotional because now the song is filled with so much joy in the music and it’s become something so far from the sadness that inspired the song,” she explains. “It feels like it’s only mine and it could only be mine,” she says. Then there’s some wisdom and there’s some humor and there’s some heaviness and depth,” she says. [Miley Cyrus](https://www.rollingstone.com/music/music-lists/best-miley-cyrus-songs-1234684356/) is standing in the backyard of the Los Angeles home where [Frank Sinatra](https://www.rollingstone.com/music/music-news/an-appreciation-of-frank-sinatra-1915-1998-59176/) once lived, glowing in the sun as she sings about a man who broke his own heart. “Endless Summer Vacation represents, to me, my fearlessness when it comes to experimenting, not just with my sound but also with my identity and the way that I want to be seen,” Cyrus shares after running through “Jaded,” the song that opens the film’s setlist.

Miley Cyrus's “Endless Summer Vacation” Is As Chill As It Sounds (BuzzFeed News)

The singer's latest album, a radio-friendly patchwork of pop, is her softest pivot in years.

[Heart of Glass](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NbdRLyixJpc)” and the Cranberries’ “ [Zombie](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=l81u-oSIAp4).” When she sings other people’s songs, undaunted by the challenge of crafting her own artistic identity, she seems uniquely free, at least to me. Until then, ballads like “ [Jaded](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9MiaHlOUExM)” and “ [You](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=w7Xqzji5p_0)” get weighed down by their own repetitive refrains. But on “ [Rose Colored Lenses](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2yyS4aBJKn0),” she finds sensual bliss with a new lover, crooning, “We could stay like this forever, lost in wonderland,” over fairy-tale riffs. [Flowers](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=G7KNmW9a75Y),” released in January, rocketed to the top of the charts around the world within a week. Cyrus has been surprisingly quiet about her new work, staying off social media and keeping the second single, “ [River](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=v_4fljfr2r4),” under wraps until just yesterday. But this only reinforces the sense that, without a particular aesthetic to anchor herself in, Cyrus doesn’t quite know how she wants to sound.

But by 2017, she came full circle, making the [unsettling choice](https://www.newyorker.com/culture/cultural-comment/miley-cyruss-creepy-return-to-wholesomeness) to rebrand as family-friendly again. Based solely on the title of the album and the style of “Flowers” — a disco-inflected empowerment anthem seemingly about the singer’s previous relationship with actor Liam Hemsworth — fans guessed that the album would be a sunny pop reflection on the art of moving on after love. [dirty South hip-hop](https://marquee.blogs.cnn.com/2012/11/09/miley-cyrus-talks-new-album/).” She stripped naked for the “Wrecking Ball” video and started dancing pornographically, leading to that unfortunate performance with Thicke. [though not always](https://www.buzzfeednews.com/article/josephlongo/olivia-rodrigo-disney-channel-stars-sour) — requires a hard break, and no one broke away harder than Cyrus. Since the beginning of her solo career, she has been more famous for her persistent reinvention than for any recognizable sound.

Is Miley Cyrus' new song about Liam Hemsworth cheating? (Los Angeles Times)

A song from Miley Cyrus' new album, 'Endless Summer Vacation,' is fueling rumors that that her ex-husband, actor Liam Hemsworth, cheated on her.

“If you’re a friend of mine and you’re close to me and you listen to this album, it sounds like a conversation with me,” she said on the Disney+ special. Miley Cyrus Muddy Feet instant classic,” “Liam and I have been together for a decade. The former Disney star and Hemsworth married in 2018 after dating on and off for about a decade.
