MusicMiley Cyrus reveals inspiration from The Wall (Pink Floyd) for next album Singer revealed that she wants to make Something Beautiful “a The Wall with better clothing, more glamorous and full of pop culture” today at 08:00

Miley Cyrus shared news about what his next studio album should be. The work even has a defined title: Something Beautiful. The launch is expected to be 2025, with no specific date yet established.

In an interview with Harper’s Bazaar, the singer revealed that Something Beautiful should be a visual album — and it surprised me when I made a comparison with the Pink Floyd. More specifically, with one of his most popular works, The Wallfrom 1979.

Cyrus is a fan of the album responsible for presenting classics like “Another Brick in the Wall” and “Comfortably Numb”but the parallel drawn is with the film also titled The Wallmade available in 1982. The artist revealed that she watched the feature film for the first time as a teenager with one of her brothers and a friend — the experience also involved renting a limousine, smoking marijuana and wearing 1970s-style fur coats.

She says:

“Us [Miley e a equipe de produção] we really accept the challenge. And so I have this heart attachment to him [The Wall]. My idea was to do The Wallbut with better clothing, more glamorous and full of pop culture.”

The voice of hits like “Flowers” and “Wrecking ball” also described Something Beautiful as “mesmerizing” and defined it as “a concept album that is an attempt to medicate a somewhat sick culture through music”. Regarding the visual aspect, he stated:

“It was important to me that each song had these healing sonic properties. The songs, whether they are about destruction, heartbreak or death, are presented in a beautiful way because the most unpleasant moments in our lives have a point of beauty. They are the shadow, they are the charcoal, they are the shading. You can’t have a painting without highlights and contrast.”

Miley Cyrus’ visual album

Still during the interview, Miley Cyrus revealed who is working with her on Something Beautiful. The Canadian Shawn Everett (The Killers, Alabama Shakes, The War on Drugs etc) signs the musical production, while the Italian-Canadian Cloths Cosmatosfilmmaker known for his films Beyond the Black Rainbow (2012) and Mandy (2018), is in charge of directing the visual work.

Both are excited about the project. Cosmatos described the record as “more experimental than anything else made by Mileybut in a pop way”. In turn, Everett commented that working with Cyrus is “kind of feel like you’ve known her for a long time”.

Maxx Morandothe pop star’s boyfriend, is also responsible for producing several songs on the album. The American is the band’s drummer Lily and worked on his beloved’s previous album, Endless Summer Vacation (2023).

The singer’s previous record was quite successful: it reached 3rd place on the American chart and reached the top in nine other countries, such as the United Kingdom, Australia and Portugal. “Flowers”the biggest hit, reached the top position on the charts in 41 countries and won awards Grammy of Record of the Year and Best Pop Solo Performance at the beginning of the year.

Since then, however, the artist has remained somewhat quiet. Among her latest activities, she participated in songs by Pharrell Williams (“Doctor (Work It Out)”) and Beyonce (“II Most Wanted”), re-recorded “Psycho Killer” (Talking Heads) for the tribute album Everyone’s Getting Involved: A Tribute to Talking Heads’ Stop Making Sense and re-recorded “Wrecking ball” with Dolly Parton.
