In a unique collaboration that blended music, art, and a touch of indulgence, Miley Cyrus presented 'Miley in Layers' in June 2021. This special virtual concert, created in partnership with Magnum ice cream, was more than just a performance; it was a statement on self-expression and individuality, broadcast to a global audience online.
The show was designed as an immersive experience, notably mastered in 8D sound to create a sense of intimacy and presence for listeners using headphones. The setlist drew heavily from her critically acclaimed album 'Plastic Hearts,' featuring powerful renditions of tracks like 'Gimme What I Want' and 'Hate Me.' A standout moment was her exclusive cover of the 1980s hit 'Midas Touch' by Midnight Star, reimagined as 'Miley's Touch,' perfectly aligning with her rock-infused sound of that era.
The entire event was built around the theme of revealing one's true self, or 'layers.' As an artist known for her constant evolution and fearless authenticity, Cyrus was a natural fit for the campaign's message. The performance and accompanying visuals, captured by photographer Vijat Mohindra, aimed to inspire fans to embrace their own multifaceted identities.

It stands as a snapshot of a distinct period in Cyrus's career, showcasing her powerful vocals and unwavering commitment to personal and artistic freedom.
