The concert started with Miley Cyrus opening the show with her number one single “Wrecking Ball,” with an instrumental version playing along with string and acoustic drums. Cyrus walked on the stage that had a very simple setting, bass guitar plays, drums and a chair. Cyrus appeared to sing the song sitting on a high chair while the crowd sang along to ever word. Miley then began to sing Adore You, critics praised that performance as it showed a different side of the song and “features Miley’s amazing vocal ability.” We Can’t Stop started playing and the audience got excited, a giant teddy bear joined the stage with Cyrus as she sang the song. During that performance, footage of her infamous VMA performance were appeared on the screens.
A Mashup of Cyrus’ past hits started playing while Miley made her exit for her wardrobe change, at the end of the mashup Party In The U.S.A. started and that’s where Miley came back on the new setting of the stage that features cardboard cutouts of cars, planes and the US flag.
Cyrus ended the show with her new single “D.U.I.,” this is the first time she performs the song in front of an audience. The performance featured an extended version of the song that showcased hidden vocals and instruments in the track.
The Interview was on a recording studio, with Miley sitting next to Benny Blanco, one of the album producers. “I like to make all of the sounds on my production weird and never heard before, you know sometimes people will listen to a song and say ‘Oh, I’ve heard that synthesizer before’ and I don’t want to have that. With this record, I think people will be surprised at how diverse the sounds are and how we mixed in two different sounds together,” Benjamin Levin, professionally known as Benny Blanco said, “We have really amazing tracks on the record, especially with Miley throwing out outstanding ideas.”
“We just finished one of the songs called ‘The Night’ that will be on the record, which is really loud and just wonderful [laughs],” Cyrus said, “I’d like to announce to my fans that I’m defiantly going on tour next year and it will probably start at the states, maybe early next year.”
"D.U.I." is available for purchase on iTunes, and for streaming on Spotify & Youtube.
