Miley Cyrus Channels Debbie Harry, Joan Jett In ‘Midnight Sky’

She directs the video herself...

Miley Cyrus breaks with her past on new single 'Midnight Sky'.

The pop rebel returns, with a brand new single and a self-directed video.

The song itself is a punch return, unapologetic in its approach and deeply feminine, highly expressive in its vocal.

The video was steered by Miley herself, and it's a clip steeped in pop culture references – think Joan Jett, or even Debbie Harry's brand of New York punk glamour.

A real statement, it opens a new chapter for the pop heroine.
