Miley Cyrus, Flowers | Track Review 🎵

Miley Cyrus turns lemon into sweet lemonade on “Flowers,” the groovy promo single from her eighth studio album, Endless Summer Vacation.

“Yeah, I can love me better than you can.” Oh snap 🫰, 🎙 Miley Cyrus! The 🏆 Grammy-nominated pop singer/songwriter is back with 🎵 “Flowers”, the groovy promo single from her eighth studio album, 💿 Endless Summer Vacation. Despite antics that have raised eyebrows in the past, the one constant, consistent aspect of Cyrus’ career has been her stellar voice.  She has a distinct tone that is truly ear catching and versatile, straddling various musical styles.  She has landed on pop once again on “Flowers” singing about loving herself post-relationship.

“We were right ‘til we weren’t,” she asserts in the first verse, continuing, “Built a home and watched it burn.” That is an accurate, poetic way to cap off an ended union.  The second verse has a similar tenor about it, as she sings, “No remorse, no regret / I forgive every word you said.”  The centerpiece, of course, is the chorus where she is better off alone, at least, for now: “I can buy myself flowers / Write my name in the sand /… I can hold my own hand / Yeah, I can love me better than you can.” Besides entertaining, emotional, and relatable lyrics, the music is lit too, thanks to production by 🎛️ Kid Harpoon and Tyler Johnson.  That groove is electric!

Final Thoughts 💭

Despite her love troubles (Liam Hemsworth definitely appears to be the big culprit here),  Miley Cyrus makes sweet lemonade out of sour lemons on 🎵 “Flowers”.  Her voice is amazing, the songwriting memorable, and the sound – quite an ear-catching vibe.  Bring on that 💿 Endless Summer Vacation (March 10, 2023)!
