All the rumours doing the rounds that Miley's got new material coming v. soon (probably this month).

I don't want none of this Dead Pets nonsense, give me more Bangerz pls. Either way, I'm really interested to see what route she goes down next!

Apparently the lead single is called Malibu and is a "beachy anthem" - it's dropping May 12th

Song of the summer incoming?

SO READY 😍

I am so here for this, I know she has a song of the summer in her and this is gonna decimate *.*

Posted by: LustForLife 4th May 2017, 12:53 PM

Omg I'm ready! Her lead singles always deliver <3

Posted by: Klaus 4th May 2017, 02:10 PM

She seems normal again!

Posted by: Tawdry Hepburn 4th May 2017, 08:57 PM

Intrigued!

Posted by: UltraGreenLight 4th May 2017, 09:02 PM

Really really excited for this! Loved her billboard interview and this sounds very promising!

Posted by: Scene 4th May 2017, 11:33 PM

I hope Miley comes and saves Pop.

Posted by: WallIsSoGood 8th May 2017, 09:18 AM

Debut single is called 'Malibu' apparently her album is going to be more country! Miles serving those Joanne teas

The snippet for Malibu is incredible. I'm ready

Hmm...

Hmm...

Not as instant or as in your face as I was expecting, but I think once I'm used to it, I think I'll grow to really appreciate it!

The video is really cute though!

Posted by: UltraGreenLight 11th May 2017, 01:25 PM

Love this so much, best thing Miley has done in ages!!

Posted by: Tombo 11th May 2017, 01:26 PM

After Dead Petz, I am scared to listen!

Posted by: WallIsSoGood 11th May 2017, 01:47 PM

Not the comeback I wanted in the slightest. I predicted following 'Bangerz' that she would return with her natural look and a more mature sound but I'm so disappointed with 'Malibu'. It's good that she doesn't care for chart success because I can't see radios touching this anywhere if I'm being honest.

Posted by: Cremey 11th May 2017, 01:51 PM

I love this, it's so cute.
I'd love another Bangerz (I'd say it's up there with the best pop albums of the last ten years or so with Blackout etc.) but it's good for her to switch up her sound. I was worried she'd go too country.

As for radios not touching it...it's say it's actually really radio-friendly!

Posted by: cqmerqn 11th May 2017, 02:27 PM

It's obviously catered for the US, and the US only. Sounds country.

Anyway I kinda like it buts it's just a non-event. Expected and wanted much more 'oomph' from her.

Posted by: Liаm 11th May 2017, 02:39 PM

It's not really like country it just has influences, I can see this being big! It's very breezy and carefree, perfect for summer. I feel like it's the sort of thing Lana Del Rey might release if she went a bit more upbeat and countrier. I love it anyway

Posted by: Ryan. 11th May 2017, 02:59 PM

Such a refreshing song, while I loved the Bangerz singles I'm so glad that my Miley is finally back without any attention seeking or pretentiousness - which I know probably wasn't really her and it was totally for headlines and sales which worked perfectly. And it's a completely new sound for her as well, but it feels natural. It's quite OneRepublic sounding to me, but with a Miley stamp through the country influences. Really really great, she's back!

Posted by: blacksquare 11th May 2017, 03:00 PM

Country? This is pop.

It's nice, laid back, relatable, and I can see it going either way. It sounds a bit like if Modest Mouse did a pop song.

Posted by: mdh 11th May 2017, 03:50 PM

Excited to hear this! Shall wait til tomorrow morning, however just letting y'all know that this'll probably get Spotify playlist support from the off, so we'll get a good indicator of whether it'll be big or not right from the off

Posted by: blacksquare 11th May 2017, 04:59 PM

Posted by: .MIKE. 11th May 2017, 05:06 PM

I like it, totally not what you'd expect from her.
I think radio will pick it up and it'll be one of those moderate summer hits

Posted by: Lukuzz 11th May 2017, 05:25 PM

I like it, very country pop but still quite catchy. Hope she does well with this one

Posted by: l♀tita 11th May 2017, 06:01 PM

this is lovely! defo agree with that lana comparison from liam

Posted by: blacksquare 11th May 2017, 06:16 PM

I think this could be better if they trimmed the second verse, and beefed up or extended the chorus towards the end.

Posted by: cqmerqn 11th May 2017, 07:00 PM

After listening in HQ I really like it! Country-pop for sure though.

Posted by: Tawdry Hepburn 11th May 2017, 07:44 PM

It's a cute song, I get feeling from it. She looks properly stunning in the video!

Demure Miley is coming as quite a shock to me though.

Posted by: Davidson 11th May 2017, 08:08 PM

I really think this is rather lovely.

I think the video really adds to that breezy feeling it has also.

I'm not sure it will be a massive hit but bravo for going against what was expected and really doing something that feels wonderfully natural.

Posted by: Regina 11th May 2017, 08:18 PM

Okay there are people here who AREN'T loving this?

Posted by: cqmerqn 11th May 2017, 08:21 PM

Posted by: Joe. 11th May 2017, 08:41 PM

#1 on US iTunes!

Posted by: JosephStyles🐶 11th May 2017, 09:33 PM

This is really good! Just what I wanted from her, I got tired of her image during the Bangerz era (found it very forced) so this is a welcome change for me. Musically though this is up there with We Can't Stop and Wrecking Ball as one of my faves by her already!

Posted by: HarryApa 11th May 2017, 09:42 PM

I really like this very simple and really reminds me of Lana Del Rey which is not a bad thing in the slightest

Posted by: Cody S. Berry 11th May 2017, 09:45 PM

This reminds me of something but I can't put the name on it

Posted by: Cremey 11th May 2017, 09:51 PM

I really like it, I just wanted straight up high key banger from her But it's really nice and chill

Posted by: ~josh~ 12th May 2017, 12:04 PM

Not as instant as the likes of Wrecking Ball/We Can't Stop but I'm really liking the more chilled out sound and it's already grown massively after just two listens. I quite agree with Harry that it sounds a bit like something Lana Del Rey would do if she went a bit more upbeat with her output. So pleased with the worldwide performance of this so far as well, hoping it can be a huge smash hit for her!

It sounds more Norah Jones than Lana Del Rey to me, I could certainly see this being a big hit, or at least never off the radio.

Quite a lovely song actually, not quite up there with Wrecking Ball, but I'd gladly take this over the forced mess that was the last era.

Posted by: mdh 13th May 2017, 10:35 AM

Officially in love with this. Radio 1, Radio 2 and Heart will eat this up. Think it'll be big.

Posted by: Noahspike 13th May 2017, 04:53 PM

Two listens in and potentially my favourite thing she's ever done?! That may be heavily influenced by the fact I'm lazing around hungover and this hit me out of nowhere to complement my mental state perfectly, but the song and video make such a heartfelt, dreamy, pretty little package that I know I'll revisit above her other stuff.

I'm generally ambivalent to her as a personality and artist but always loved the country tone to her voice. Her 'Summertime Sadness' cover utilises it magnificently and I was immediately reminded of that on hearing 'Malibu', so yeah the Lana comparisons are definitely there for me too. Also, she's got frolicking-around-while-flirting-with-the-camera down to an absolute TEE. The camera loves her~

Posted by: DNQrella 14th May 2017, 07:08 PM

This is incredible. So instant and catchy.

Posted by: Neil 15th May 2017, 04:27 PM

Have been listening to this song on repeat so much, definitely my favourite song of the year so far and one of Miley's best. It's probably my 3rd favourite Miley song already behind Drive & Permanent December, and I love how all 3 are so different to one another.

Posted by: Riser 16th May 2017, 02:48 AM

Posted by: WallIsSoGood 16th May 2017, 07:57 AM

Debuted at #64 on Billboard with half a day sales!

I'm expecting this to go top five in the US which surprises me! Her streaming really is rather incredible isn't it? I'm just hoping her billboard performance and rumoured voice performance is enough to ensure another top 3 hit for her! She's #9 on Spotify right now, #2 on iTunes and gathering good YouTube views!

'Malibu' is also expected to debut top 15 in the U.K which is a decent enough result, still think with a stronger song she could have debuted top five!

Slaying worldwide on Spotify and not even in any big playlists yet!

Posted by: Oliver 16th May 2017, 08:24 PM

Heard this for the first time on Capital today and I'm hooked, really good!

Posted by: cqmerqn 16th May 2017, 09:41 PM

This could reach number 1 easily in the US and maybe even the UK with promo. This is definitely a huge hit.

Posted by: Tawdry Hepburn 18th May 2017, 05:10 PM

I'm pretty hooked on this.

Posted by: WallIsSoGood 20th May 2017, 09:48 AM

3 in Australia!

What are the latest predictions for US?

Posted by: cqmerqn 20th May 2017, 01:13 PM

Predicted for 11 in the US...

Posted by: 360Jupiter 20th May 2017, 03:31 PM

Not a bad song. I don't like her new hair or the things she said about hip-hop culture recently. You can change your tastes without dissing everyone else who likes something.

Interesting new direction she's going down now though.

Posted by: Tawdry Hepburn 20th May 2017, 03:35 PM

I read an interview where she said she hates 'Wrecking Ball' and can no longer stand to listen to it.

#11 in a massive climb in America (She would have got top 10 had she not released a day early) and she has Billboard, Voice finale and Today Show next week so I can see it managing a top three peak which is better than what I imagine

Posted by: cqmerqn 22nd May 2017, 07:03 PM

#10 on Billboard Hot 100.

What happened to the #2-#4 predictions?

Posted by: WallIsSoGood 4th June 2017, 12:22 PM

It doesn't seem to be connecting overally well with the general public? It's streaming has somewhat stalled, although she was never really high in any playlists. She's promoted 'Malibu' incredibly well in the US with almost every radio station and performances on Today Show, Billboard Music Awards and Voice Finale. It's currently sitting at #18 on USA iTunes, not sure it will manage a new peak in America but I'm a bit disappointed that her comeback didn't go top 5 at least! Hopefully she manages top 1 in the UK but a discount might be needed to ensure that!

Posted by: cqmerqn 4th June 2017, 01:12 PM

It's doing fine

Posted by: KWEEN_DEE 27th June 2017, 01:36 PM

Posted by: cq(uavo)merqn 27th June 2017, 04:57 PM

It has good airplay

Posted by: WallIsSoGood 28th June 2017, 11:14 AM

It's a shame that she's been so low on all Spotify playlists, Spotify really has been her let down in both US and UK which is weird considering how well she usually does with streaming!

Posted by: cq(uavo)merqn 28th June 2017, 08:28 PM

Ah well, #11 is still good. It has held up well too!

Posted by: Laura130262 13th July 2017, 12:44 PM

Heart London play this a lot. I don't know any of her previous stuff but I really like this song and I'm going to download it.

I think this song has wide appeal across all generations.

Posted by: WallIsSoGood 8th August 2017, 02:00 AM

'Malibu' has 2 million pure sales worldwide making this her fifth biggest song.
