Miley Cyrus “Endless Summer Vacation” Released April 10
Miley Cyrus’ hit “Flowers” inspired even those in stable relationships to sing out loud. Her new album, “Endless Summer Vacation,” released on Friday, is much more than a break-up anthem; it’s a rebirth. While spring appears to be a long way off, Cyrus’ new album feels like a hot summer day.
Beginning with the number-one single, “Flowers,” she bids farewell to an old love and begins with infectious confidence and independence.
“I can love myself better than you,” she sings.
As the sun shines brighter, it’s time to wear your “Rose Colored Lenses.” The third track is a more upbeat but still mellow song with sexy and loving lyrics: “We could stay like this forever, lost in wonderland/With our heads in the clouds, falling stupid like kids/Wearing rose-colored lenses.”
The album includes two collaboration tracks: “Thousand Miles,” which features the artist singing alongside Americana star Brandi Carlile, and “Muddy Feet,” which features pop artist Sia.
“A thousand Miles” is infused with Carlile’s folk style, a familiar territory for Cyrus, whose ancestors include “Achy Breaky Heart” father, Billy Ray Cyrus and her godmother and country legend, Dolly Parton.
The day goes to the night, and the album becomes racier and dirtier, beginning with “River.”
“I can feel you all over the place. Your face is buried in my hair/covered in sweat. “It turns me on, baby, that you care,” she sings.
Miley Cyrus’ albums, like the artist, cannot be put in a box. In fact, throughout her more than a half-dozen albums, the singer has experimented with various sounds and genres.
“Violet Chemistry” is a pop song with electrifying dance notes, perfect for a nightclub dancefloor lit with neon lights.
“When the floor is flooded. “And the lights come on, but you don’t want to leave,” she sings, celebrating a passionate summer fling that one hopes will last forever.
High heels are carelessly in hand as the sky is soaked in a ruby sunrise, allowing for a more comfortable barefoot walk home in solitude.
“Am I stuck on an island? “Have I arrived in paradise?” She sings in “Island,” a song about how her isolation has become a blessing in disguise.
Finally, the album concludes with a melancholy unplugged demo version of “Flowers,” which flips the confident opening on its head to create a sad, soulful coda: to the listeners and Miley’s old loves.
