Produced by RadicalMedia, HopeTown Entertainment, Crush Management, and Columbia Records, Endless Summer Vacation (Backyard Sessions) will include right songs from the album, a feature between Cyrus and music icon Rufus Wainwright, and a special surprise for Miley’s Disney Channel fans, many of which are all grown up, just like the star herself.
Although these days many know her for edgier and more mature hits like viral TikTok audio “Flowers,” and “Wrecking Ball,” Cyrus got her start as a star while filming Hannah Montana, playing both girl-next-door Miley Stewert and her country-pop star persona, Hannah. In fact, following its 2006 release on the Disney Channel, the show’s popularity and massive pre-teen fanbase spurred both real life national tours for Montana’s repertoire and a theatrical release, Hannah Montana: The Movie (2009).
