Miley takes us on a sexy ‘Endless Summer Vacation’

Miley Cyrus’ hit “Flowers” made even those in a stable relationship sing out loud with conviction. Now, her latest album “Endless Summer Vacation” is much more than a break-up anthem; it’s a rebirth.

While spring seems still so far away, Cyrus’ new album feels like a hot summer day.

Starting with “Flowers,” she bids farewell to an old love and begins with contagious confidence and independence. “Yeah, I can love me better than you can,” she sings.

As the sun gets brighter, it’s time to wear “Rose Colored Lenses.” The track is an upbeat but still mellow song, overflowing with sexy and loving lyrics: “We could stay like this forever, lost in wonderland/With our heads about the clouds, falling stupid like we’re kids.”

The album features two collaboration tracks: One of them, “Thousand Miles,” sees the artist singing alongside Americana star Brandi Carlile, while the second, “Muddy Feet,” is with pop artist Sia.

“Thousand Miles” is infused with Carlile’s folk style, a familiar place for Cyrus, whose legacy includes “Achy Breaky Heart” dad Billy Ray Cyrus and her godmother and country legend, Dolly Parton.

The day leaves space for the night, and the album gets racier and dirtier, kicking off the evening with “River.”

“I feel you everywhere. Your face is all in my hair/Covered up in your sweat. It turns me on that you care, baby,” she sings.

Like the artist, Miley Cyrus’ albums can’t be put into a box. In fact, the singer likes to experiment with different sounds and genres over her more than a half-dozen records.
