The track’s fast-paced claps and disco instrumentation submerge listeners in a runway fantasy. At one point, Cyrus speaks instead of singing in a very ‘80s twist, reminiscent of Grace Jones and Lou Reed. The album’s second single, “River,” is another star and one of the more vocally complimentary songs on the album. It’s fast, synth-y, carefree and the perfect song to dance along to. “Violent Chemistry,” my favorite track, is an ode to the after-the-after-party and is stylistically similar to Tove Lo’s more recent work. One of the finer points on the album, “You” is a tenderhearted ballad where Cyrus lists the things she wants to do “but only if it’s with you.” The slow, rhythmic drumming and accompanying piano are perfectly subtle and add to the classic tone of the song. In this viewing of the album, the track “You” is, perhaps, the moment where the sun starts to set. In interviews about the album, Cyrus explained that it’s divided into a.m. Where “Plastic Hearts” paid homage to Cyrus’s rock influences, “Endless Summer Vacation” paints a murkier picture in regard to influence and genre. In particular, the pop flare of the album didn’t highlight her vocals in the way her previous album, “Plastic Hearts,” was able to. Though “Flowers” was a unanimous hit, the album in its entirety fell a bit short in comparison to Cyrus’s previous work. In its first full week, “Flowers” broke records on Spotify for the number of streams any song had ever received in a week - beating Adele’s “Easy On Me.” In its second week, it broke that record again by nearly 20 million streams. Most notable, however, was the accompanying music video in which Cyrus practices self-care in what is rumored to be the mansion where her ex, Liam Hemsworth, took women when he was cheating on Cyrus.
