Miley Cyrus Unveils Sophisticated New Album "Something Beautiful"
Pop music sensation Miley Cyrus, aged 32, is ready to make a lasting impression with her latest offering, "Something Beautiful," set to release Friday, May 30. Fresh off her Grammy win last year, the American singer faces stiff competition from contemporary female stars like Taylor Swift, Dua Lipa, Billie Eilish, Sabrina Carpenter, Lorde, and Charli XCX. However, Cyrus's new album promises a unique blend of music and storytelling that showcases her growth and maturity as an artist.
The new album comprises 13 pop tracks, with a runtime of approximately one hour. Unlike her previous work, which often leaned towards the rowdy or shrill, "Something Beautiful" is a more subdued offering, with echoes of old Hollywood glamour. The themes explored in the album revolve around love, grace, dreams, and rebirth, marking a departure from her earlier music.
One standout feature of the album is Cyrus's smoky voice, which she attributes to a polyp on her vocal cord. Performing with this condition is challenging, she admits, likening it to running a marathon with weights on her ankles.
Cyrus has revealed that Pink Floyd's music drama "The Wall" (1982) served as inspiration for her new album. She describes the album's atmosphere as "hypnotic and glamorous," and claims that she has brought together all facets of herself in "Something Beautiful."
The album's visual aesthetic is also notable, with a short film accompaniment set to be screened in select cinemas worldwide in June. Fashion plays a significant role in the film, with Cyrus revealing last week on the Jimmy Kimmel Show that almost the entire film budget was spent on outfits.
In another interview with Zane Lowe on Apple Music, Cyrus reminisced about her "Endless Summer Vacation" album, which laid the groundwork for "Something Beautiful." The album featured the hits "Flowers," which topped the charts in the US and Germany and went viral on social media, earning Cyrus a Grammy.
Some of the recommended tracks on the new album include "Easy Lover," which Cyrus teased on Instagram, and "Reborn." This album is not exclusively for die-hard fans but also for those new to Cyrus's music, with catchy melodies that make it suitable background music for sunny afternoons on the terrace.
For those interested in Cyrus's artistic evolution, "Something Beautiful" represents a significant departure from her earlier work like "Bangerz" and "Plastic Hearts." The new album is more thematic and visually driven, with a pop opera feel inspired by Pink Floyd and the film "Mandy."
