Miley’s face card has always been her honey-roasted country voice, which has carried her through all her different pop lives. As Brandi said on the podcast, “Only Miley knows the truth.” The narratives are fucking hilarious, but it’s so great.” Yet Miley herself took care not to deny a single one. “The song did come out on birthday - was that on purpose? I don’t know, can’t say,” she said, adding, “It makes Miley seem like an absolute genius. Her sister Brandi argued about the rumors on her podcast, Your Favorite Thing. She gives fans room to flesh out the narrative, no matter how much of it is imaginary, working in the “Paul is dead”/“Tupac is alive” tradition. Is she quoting the Bruno Mars song Liam played at their wedding? In the video - released on his birthday - is she wearing his suit from the Avengers premiere, where he told her to behave? It removed me from what no longer was serving its purpose.”īut Miley brilliantly packs the song with secret clues for fans to decode, learning from the Taylor Swift/Olivia Rodrigo school. She even sings about the real-life experience of seeing their Malibu house go up in flames, with the words “We were right till we weren’t/Built a home and watched it burn.” As she told Rolling Stone’s Brittany Spanos in a 2020 cover story, the fire “did what I couldn’t do myself. She says goodbye to her ex with the vow “I can buy myself flowers.” Everybody could figure out the connections to her ex-husband, Liam Hemsworth after a decade together, their marriage lasted less than a year, crashing and burning in 2019. “Flowers” became her biggest hit because it’s her realest song ever, her poignant ode to starting over after a divorce and learning to love herself. As she recently said, “You can say I am a twerking, pot-smoking, foulmouthed hillbilly, but I am not a liar. Hannah Montana was a fun house of mirrors, identity-wise: Her dad was played by her real-life dad, Billy Ray Cyrus, the “Achy Breaky Heart” dude, who had already played himself in a nightmare scene in a David Lynch movie.Įven in her first Top 10 hit, “See You Again,” 15 years ago, Miley was singing about her personality crises, with the chorus hook “My best friend Leslie said, ‘Oh, she’s just being Miley!’ ” And she’s always been Miley ever since, through all her many incarnations. She started out as a Disney moppet playing a fictional pop star with a secret life as a regular all-American girl. Miley’s only 30, but she’s already been a mega-famous artist for nearly two decades. This moment is the cherry on top of one of modern pop’s longest, most bizarre stories.
“Flowers,” the lead single from Friday’s Saturn-return post-divorce album Endless Summer Vacation, marks the culmination of her unlikely journey from Hannah Montana to world-wise adulthood. But now she has finally transformed into the kind of old-school grown-up legend she’s always wanted to be. It’s been 10 years since her last Number One hit, “Wrecking Ball,” at the height of her tabloid-scandal, electro-sleaze Bangerz era. “Flowers” is more than just a surprise comeback hit - it’s the triumph of Mileyism.
I feel folks will be blown away.What a moment to be a Miley Cyrus fan. It's different from what I have done in the past and it's been fantastic to be a part of it with everyone in the band, Ulrich Wild/WURMgroup and The Oracle Management. so much talent in this band, and I can't wait for you to experience DieHumane."Ībruscato added, "I am looking forward to the release of this very different and unique album I had the pleasure writing/performing the drum tracks for. Music needs 'different' in order to evolve. It gave me the ability to express myself musically and, even more important, was radically different than anything I have ever played. Last year, while talking about how the band came together, Hunolt recalled in a statement coinciding with the announcement that, "To be honest, being in a band wasn't even on my mind at the time a dear friend called me and said, 'Hey, I know these guys looking for a guitar player.' He sent me some raw tracks, and I listened for about a month before I replied, and it was the music that I was looking for. on keyboards, samples, additional guitar.
