Miley Cyrus

"Malibu" (video)

Miley Cyrus has been having something of a personality crisis through her music. After flirting with trap alongside Mike WiLL Made-It, she did drugs with the Flaming Lips and toured with Dan Deacon. Now, however, she presumably wants to pay some bills and make some hits, so she's gone back to normie mode.

As previously reported, Miley's next album will be a "rootsy" outing. Her latest single "Malibu" certainly fits that mould. While there are a handful of radio-pop production flairs, it's mostly just a vehicle for Miley to deliver her gravelly vocals atop a simple guitar.

That said, annoying Miley is still in there — in the song's accompanying video, she does a ridiculous "jig" on the beach. You'll see it at the one-minute mark below.

Stay tuned for more on Miley's new normie album (if we decide to bother writing about it).
