‘Endless Summer Vacation’ shows Miley Cyrus’ versatility, but it’s a step back: review
Cyrus was previously married to Liam Hemsworth.On the biting, “Bangerz”-stype trap song “Muddy Feet,” she catches a partner cheating as she snarls, “Get the f–k out of my house with that s–t / Get the f–k out of my life with that s–t.”
The rock ballad “Jaded,” meanwhile, calls out an ex who is “not even willing” to admit their mistakes, instead heading “down to the bar ’til [they’re] blurry.” It’s the true gem of the album, showcasing Cyrus’ vocal prowess as she sings, “We went to hell, but we never came back.”The single “Flowers” became her first No. 1 since 2013’s “Wrecking Ball.
And the aptly titled and irresistibly catchy tropical number “Island” is all about the perspective that follows a breakup, with a newly single Cyrus dipping her toes in the sand and pondering, “Am I stranded on an island or have I landed in paradise?” But even she knows solitude isn’t always the solution. On the album’s stripped-back, piano-driven closer, “Wonder Woman,” Cyrus warbles, “When her favorite record’s on and she’s dancing in the dark / She can’t stop her eyes from welling up.”
The tearjerker’s third-person narrative is intriguing. Has Cyrus, the seemingly fearless artist who’s become the voice of a generation, been putting on a brave face this whole time?
