See the video for Miley Cyrus’s ‘Walk of Fame’

Miley Cyrus shared the music video for her song “Walk of Fame,” which features Alabama Shakes frontwoman Brittany Howard.

In the visual, the singer sports a silver mini dress and high-heeled boots as she steps out onto Hollywood’s Walk of Fame. She struts and dances along the stars that line the Walk of Fame as she sings, “I walk the concrete like it’s a stage.”

Miley herself is set to receive her own star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame in the coming year; she wrote on social media following the announcement: “When I first came to LA from Nashville as a little girl, my family would stay at a hotel on Hollywood Blvd. I would go on late night walks with my dad when no one would recognize him. We’d have the gift shops to ourselves & buy knock off Oscars and Marilyn Monroe merchandise. To now be cemented on this legendary boulevard, surrounded by the icons who inspired me, feels like a dream. This moment will live forever, thank you to everyone in my life who made it possible. I am grateful to share this star with you.”

Miley’s most recent album Something Beautiful was released May 30, with the visual companion to the album debuting on Disney+ and Hulu over the summer.

According to video circulating on social media, Eilish said: “So you may have noticed that there are more cameras than usual in here. Basically, I can’t say much about it but what I can say is that I’m working on something very, very special with somebody named James Cameron and it’s going to be in 3D .. So, take that as you will and these four shows here in Manchester, you and me are part of a thing that I am making with him. He’s in this audience somewhere, just saying. So don’t mind that, and also I’ll probably be wearing this exact outfit for like four days in a row.”

Hear Dierks Bentley’s live collab with The Band Loula from the Broken Branches Tour

Dierks Bentley‘s Broken Branches Tour may only be a memory now, but it’ll live on in a new live recording of “Get Down on Your Knees and Pray.”

“I first heard this song sung live by the Del McCoury Band,” Dierks explains. “It’s an old Bill Monroe song that I've always loved, but I never would have thought it was something I'd add to my own set. However that was before I met The Band Loula!”

“We worked up a really cool, swampy arrangement of it that leans on their delta bluegrass-y sound,” he continues. “I'm so glad we were able to make this live recording and have something that lives on past this summer.”

The tour, which also included Zach Top, kicked off in June and wrapped Aug. 30, after a Thursday stop at New York City’s Madison Square Garden.

“There aren't enough words to describe our summer out with Dierks and Zach,” The Band Loula says in a news release. “We started the tour as newbies and left with an entire family of folks that we'll cherish for the rest of our careers. As sad as we are to see it end, we're grateful this collaboration with Dierks gets to endure beyond the tour.”

You can stream “Get Down on Your Knees and Pray” now.
