Our girl is on top of her game.

The UK’s entry to the 2023 Eurovision has been announced as Mae Muller. She’s the first female to represent the UK in 5 years, the last being Lucie Jones.

By now a renowned name in the music industry Muller has been making moves since her debut release Close in 2018. Not only has she received nominations for the MTV, VMA and EMA awards, she’s also worked with the likes of Marshmello , J Balvin and Little Mix earning her the title of pop sensation. The singer is arguably best known for her platinum selling single “Better Days” which reached top ten in the US charts.

With her hit tracks like; I don’t want your money,Therapist and I just came to dance her song for Eurovision adds to the pattern of success. Her song written specifically for the contest, I wrote a song, is already a fan favourite and will be sure to stun the audience this may. Muller hopes she can follow the success of last years winner, Sam Ryder.

“Sam Ryder was so amazing last year and proved the UK can be back on the left-hand side of the leaderboard!“I’m so excited to participate in Eurovision this year and represent the UK! I’ve loved watching Eurovision all my life, so to compete in such a massive music competition is simply brilliant.” Mae Muller

I wrote a song is a classic revenge song, with an empowering beat and rage filled rhythm many of the audience will be able to relate to the anger that swiftly follows a heartbreak. It is an ode to friendship coming together to fortify the hearts shield against betrayal, bullshit and belittlement. This semantic of union is sure to permeate this years theme for the contest, celebrating each other and hoisting one another up to the same level.

“Instead I wrote a song

’bout how you did me wrong

I could’ve cried at home

and spent the night alone

Instead I wrote a song”

It is also an ode to the individual, about empowering yourself to empower everybody else, do not allow someone to weaponise their own behaviour against you, rise above, remember who you are and reiterate your identity, This powerful piece achieves that, emboldened by Muller’s incredible voice and colourful accompanying video.

Being the UK’s Eurovision representative sure beats her previous claims to fame, that she once made Labrinth a cup of tea whilst working as a runner for her Aunt who works as a music video director. Although she was also the girl in the green dress in MILA’s Grace Kelly music video which is also pretty cool.

Miley Cyrus Releases Flowers

Who’s ready for an Endless Summer Vacation?

Miley Cyrus Flowers

After a two-year hiatus Miley Cyrus is back with a banging break up anthem.

Flowers is an ode to self-love, empowerment, and self-preservation. It is Yves Saint Laurent clad battle move against broken hearts, it’s the sound of a new era for Miley Cyrus.

The song has a lot of direct references to her marriage with, now ex-husband, Liam Hemsworth as well as some easter eggs hidden in the accompanying music video. The lyrics “Built a home and watched it burn” are a double entendre representing the Woolsey Fire of 2018 that destroyed the pairs home in Malibu as well as the incidents between the couple that razed their relationship. The song itself was released on the 13th of January-Hemsworth’s birthday further emphasising who this song may be about.

The theme of independence and empowerment run throughout the video with Miley dancing with herself, working out and ‘talking to herself for hours’. This is buttressed by the apparent back drop for this video, set in Los Angeles the mansion we see Cyrus strut in and swim in is supposedly her own Studio city home although some fan theories think it is the house where Hemsworth is alleged to have had affairs in.

However, Miley addressed cheating claims in 2019 saying “I can admit to a lot of things, but I refuse to admit that my marriage ended because of cheating. Liam and I have been together for a decade. I’ve said it before and it remains true, I love Liam and always will.”

It has also been suggested that the suit Miley wears in the mansion is meant to replicate the suit Hemsworth wore the night when he told Cyrus to behave whilst she was dancing on a red carpet. Fan have even analysed the YSL gown Cyrus wears at the start of the music video, wondering if its shade to the golden dress Jennifer Lawrence wore at the hunger games premier in 2012 although we think this is a bit of a stretch.

The most repeated reference to Hemsworth is the actual tune of the song. Sampled from Bruno Mars Flowers mirrors ‘When I was your man’ which Hemsworth apparently dedicated to Cyrus during their engagement. Although these rumours are yet to be confirmed it is a power move from Miley to take these words back and use them as her own sword.

Although this is clearly a breakup banger it is also a romantic ballad to the self. Remember you can love yourself better than anyone can, you can stick your favourite songs on and dance on your own, get dressed up and have nowhere to go. it is the relationship we share with ourselves which is the most important to our own preservation. cherish each other loudly but cherish yourself louder.

Flowers is part of Miley’s new album Endless summer vacation is set to release March 10. It will be the eighth studio album. Cyrus has described it as her “Love letter to L.A”.

“The music and imagery of ‘Endless Summer Vacation’ [serves] as a reflection of the strength she’s found in focusing on both her physical and mental well-being,” reads the official news release.

After hosting a NYE concert/party with Godmother Dolly Parton, dropping Flowers, and an upcoming album it is clear 2023 is Miley’s year.

Now wipe your eyes and go buy some flowers in your best gold suit.
