Miley Cyrus matures musically with her latest record - Adolescent rock star in the limelight.
Miley Cyrus, a 32-year-old pop star and previous winner of the Grammy Awards, is set to release her ninth studio album, "Something Beautiful," this coming Friday, May 30. Despite fierce competition in the pop music sphere from artists such as Taylor Swift, Dua Lipa, Billie Eilish, Sabrina Carpenter, Lorde, and Charli XCX, Cyrus continues to make a significant mark in the industry.
The album, comprising 13 tracks with a runtime of approximately one hour, is a harmony-rich offering that leans more toward thoughtful ballads and emotive expressions rather than playful pop tunes. The core themes of love, grace, dreams, and rebirth are woven into the album's fabric, revealing Cyrus' maturity and confidence.
The sound of "Something Beautiful" boasts an old Hollywood charm without veering into the shrill or overly energetic. Reminiscent of good disco, the album offers a delightful blend of vulnerable heartache and upbeat energy, setting the tone for a timeless listening experience.
In an upcoming short film for the album, Cyrus will visualize the tracks for a one-night screening in cinemas worldwide. The fashion aspect plays a significant role in the film, with a staggering proportion of the budget being allocated to stunning outfits.
Cyrus recently opened up to Zane Lowe on Apple Music about her distinctive smoky voice. She revealed a polyp on her vocal cord, which lends her voice the unique tone and texture that sets her apart. Performing with this polyp, Cyrus admitted, is akin to running a marathon with weights strapped to her ankles.
Pink Floyd's iconic music drama "The Wall" (1982) is cited as one of the primary influences for the album. Cyrus describes the album's atmosphere as both hypnotic and glamorous, admitting that she has united all aspects of herself within "Something Beautiful."
Upon the release of her previous album, "Endless Summer Vacation," Cyrus claimed the biggest hit of her career with the track "Flowers." This single topped charts in the US and Germany for the first time, ignited a social media trend, and even earned her a Grammy. Cyrus attributes this success to helping her discover "Something Beautiful."
Notable tracks on the upcoming album include "Easy Lover," which Cyrus teased on Instagram with a captivating short film, and "Reborn," an excellent opening track. The album is not limited to dedicated fans but appeals to those who may not have been drawn to Cyrus' work previously, offering a catchy and cohesive listening experience that is perfect for sunny afternoons on the terrace.
