Happy Holidays! The “Backyard Sessions” took place earlier this summer when Miley brought her band together to perform some of her favorite songs. This one is a Dolly Parton song “Jolene” (Dolly is Miley’s godmother).

With Miley’s guest appearance on TWO AND A HALF MEN the show posted its best ratings ever since moving to Thursday’s (14M). This came hot on the heels of Chelsea Lately posting highest ratings of the season with Miley as her guest and Marie Claire with it’s biggest selling issue ever with Miley on the cover! Way to go Miley!

In what was Miley’s first sitcom performance since she ended ties with “Hannah Montana” four years ago, Miley “brought it” said to Jon Cryer, “Miley was just on fire, did fantastic. Then, I remembered, ‘Oh, yes, she was actually hatched in the Disney labs in Burbank and grown for just this sitcom situation.’”

Miley is scheduled to appear in at least one more episode of the show, although each of her co-stars say they’d love to have her back!

Miley played a young rather uninhibited gal named Missi who came to visit Walden. Missi is the daughter of one of his old friends and boy, has she grown up since the last time he saw her. Walden’s no cad, but he would like to feel he’s still in the breeding pool. Then this happens:

We talk a lot about Miley Cyrus‘ hair, Twitter, fiancé and dogs, but at the end of the day, she’s a singer.

In her newest backyard video, premiering exclusively on E! Online courtesy of MileyCyrus.com, the 19-year-old sings an impassioned cover of Melanie Safka‘s “Look What They’ve Done to My Song.”

In the acoustic clip, Miley is accompanied by two guitarists as she delivers a soulful performance. “Well, if the people are buying tears/ I’ll be rich someday, Ma,” she croons. “Look what they’ve done to my song.”

It’s nice to see Miley girl (and her topknot—RIP) back to doing what she does best. She told E! News last month she’d have a new single “out this year” and the new album she’s working on is “my favorite thing I’ve done, probably ever.”

Watch the video here!

Former Disney star Miley Cyrus seems happy to be stepping out of her “child star” comfort zone recently with a string of mature cover songs. We heard from her a while back when she covered Bob Dylan’s “You’re Gonna Make Me Lonesome” and now she’s back with her cover of the 1950 James Shelton classic “Lilac Wine.” The video is the first in a series of many “Backyard Session” videos that Cyrus and her band will be uploading on her new re-vamped website.

While it may take her a little while to win the cynics over, she’s off to a great start with her hypnotizing “Lilac Wine” rendition. It strays away from previous instrument heavy covers, from artists like Jeff Buckley and Elkie Brooks, and instead highlights the songs poetic lyrics and Cyrus’ consistent and powerful voice. Cyrus is working hard to show how much she has matured, and this cover proves just how far the star has come from her “Party in the U.S.A” days. It’s relaxed, it’s honest and most importantly it’s going to blow doubters out of the water.

For months we have heard reports that Miley Cyrus was working on new music and was even spotted filming a music video earlier this year, which never came to much before. Well, Miley has officially confirmed that her musical return is around the door and released a cover of a 50s song “Lilac Wine”. She filmed a backyard session video where she sang the song. The retro sound could be a hint that former rocker has switch genres for her upcoming album, hence her more Adele style of songs. So far her new song has received love from the critics while fans are still trying to find their new opinions on Miley’s new sound. You can watch the video of her rendition of “Lilac Wine” down below. As for her recent tweets about her music, here is what she told MTV for their review and a hint at a new single soon.

Thank u @mtv for such an amazing review of Lilac Wine :) ya know I lurvvvv ya

How do y’all feel about me confirming a single for this year!!!

It sounds like Miley Cyrus does have some serious plans to make her comeback musically. As for her new sound, I think it is normal since she likely wants to repair her image and maybe show a more mature side? My only main concern is how her core fan base will react to the sudden change in her music. Neither Miley nor Billy Ray Cyrus have ever hinted at a possible genre change, so this comes as huge news. While I certainly think she proves that she has a good voice and solid talent, but most likely her fans are not sure what to think about the sudden change in her sound. However, given in time, they will likely start loving the new sound once it grows on them.

How do you like her new sound? Does Miley do the song justice or do you miss the old Miley? I like her new sounds, it reminds me Adele and I think she could easily top off her career with this new path. We have seen how good Adele has done, so why not Miley? She took a song that had no room for any computer based sounds or auto tune, which I think will play into her strengths and remind the world of what a powerhouse of a singer that she really is. If I was some of the retro based singers right now, I would be nervous about Miley coming out with new music.

Miley Cyrus has teased plans to release a new single before the end of 2012.

The Can’t Be Tamed singer has updated her official website with a set of new raunchy promo images – showing off her new cropped, blonde hair style – as well as hinting at unleashing fresh material later this year.

Cyrus tweeted: “How do y’all feel about me confirming a single for this year!!!!”

The former Hannah Montana star has worked with Pharrell Williams on her new LP, with the 19-year old previously telling Marie Clare magazine the story of how their collaboration came about.

Miley revealed: “Pharrell said, ‘Don’t be offended because this is how I talk, but [I thought], that b*tch is actually living. She’s not sitting there with her Momager’s chain on her door. I want to free that b*tch. I want her out of her cage’.

“I’d never worked like that before. I was talking to him like he was an older brother, and everything I said was going onto the track.”

She added: “[I told my manager Bruce Flohr], ‘I don’t need the money. I don’t care if I make a dime on this. Let me make a good record’. I got in there with Pharrell, and it was magic. Oh, dude, I’m so happy.”
