Miley Cyrus Shifts Gears with Low-Key Pop Album: 'Something Beautiful'
Miley Cyrus is pushing for a softer tone musically.
In a surprising move, pop star Miley Cyrus has unveiled her new studio album "Something Beautiful," distancing herself from the industry's flashy trends and embracing a more straightforward, toned-down approach to pop music.
The competitive landscape of the pop industry often leans towards more accessible harmonies, wilder effects, and a more intrusive presence to captivate millions of "chart pop" fans. However, Cyrus, long known for her openness and unpredictability, is taking a backseat from this fast-paced race by focusing on songwriting and atmosphere.
Amazon.de lists "Something Beautiful," the singer's ninth studio album, as a pure pop album, yet its 13 tracks offer a depth and maturity not commonly found in the oversaturated market. If one removes the album's three instrumental building blocks, ten meticulously crafted songs remain, revealing their quality after repeated listens.
The lead single, "End Of The World," showcases catchy hooks, while "Golden Burning Sun" offers a mid-tempo dance track that quickly gets listeners moving. Despite the occasional miss, such as in "Something Beautiful" where Cyrus seems to overreach or in "Every Girl You've Ever Loved," where she collaborates with Naomi Campbell, the album overall strikes a chord.
With its introspective lyrics, sonically adventurous arrangements, and thematic complexity, "Something Beautiful" sets itself apart from the conventional pop landscape. The album is accompanied by a visual film, a "pop opera fueled by fantasy" scheduled to premiere at the Tribeca Film Festival.
The new release exemplifies Cyrus's growth and maturity as an artist, exploring themes of healing, transformation, and finding beauty in adversity. With its cohesive artistic vision that blends music and visual storytelling, "Something Beautiful" offers a refreshing departure from the overproduced pop norm and solidifies Cyrus's position as a distinct voice in the music industry.
