If you think Miley Cyrus’ wilder ways have gone away as soon as she stripped off that strap-on penis, think again. Over the weekend, Miley Cyrus just released the music video for “BB Talk,” a new single from her surprise album Miley Cyrus & Her Dead Petz. In the video, she came out looking like Wes Anderson’s flirty solution to boring nursery fashion.
“BB Talk” follows her second single “Lighter,” an LSD trip waiting to happen, as she sings in the nude with a psychedelic light being projected on her. This video is a pastel showcase that literalizes the persona’s (possibly Miley’s) experience with an ex who treated her like a child.
Instead of donning tight-fitting clothing or ingesting certain recreational illegal drugs, she wears frilly lace dresses and sports a rockabilly cut, complete with blunt bangs and Shirley Temple curls.
It’s a clear throwback to Hannah Montana. Only this time, she’s gyrating in a wooden crib, and not holding a microphone.
If the overly filtered visuals also happen to ring a bell, it’s because Diane Martel, Miley’s co-director for “BB Talk,” previously worked on Robin Thicke’s controversial music video “Blurred Lines.”
Now we’re not sure which came first: this video or her shoot with Terry Richardson. Nonetheless, we can say she’s into these childlike undertones. You do you, Miley.
