Miley Cyrus Takes Us on a Journey of Self-Discovery with “Endless Summer Vacation”
Miley Cyrus has released her latest album, “Endless Summer Vacation,” which takes listeners on a journey of self-discovery.
The album features 13 songs that explore a range of emotions, starting with pride, which veers into resentment, lust, anger, yearning, hope, and finally, acceptance.
In an interview with Rolling Stone, Cyrus explained that the album’s pacing was inspired by the way a day shifts from dusk till dawn, with the night songs representing Cyrus’ independence and anger, while the morning tracks are more sobering.
The album is now available on all streaming services, and Cyrus has released a mini-performance documentary on Disney+.
Esquire listened to each track and ranked them, with “You” being the closest to another rock record, “Muddy Feet” packing a fiery punch, and “Flowers” being perfect for getting ready, going out, or casting spells on an ex.
“Rose Colored Lenses” shows a relaxed version of Cyrus, while “Angels Like You” is a loud and earnest apology to an ex.
“Golden G String” is a fun song about lust, while the stripped-down version of “Flowers” is a delicate ode to self-love.
“Wonder Woman” is about Cyrus’ grandmother, and “Thousand Miles” is about her relationship with her sister.
“River” is full of lust and drama, and “Island” is wispy and winding.
Finally, “Handstand,” while more of an interlude, leaves listeners eager to hear more from Cyrus.
