Miley Cyrus Unveils Mystic Soundscapes with New Singles from ‘Something Beautiful’

Miley Cyrus has emerged from the limelight yet again, this time with a striking dual release: “Prelude” and the eponymous track from her highly anticipated album, Something Beautiful. Both songs are a stunning showcase of Cyrus’s evolving artistry, steeped in innovative sound and rich visuals that hearken back to the cinematic roots of music legends.

“Prelude,” a spoken-word journey over an electronic symphony, sets the stage for what Cyrus describes as an exploration of emotive landscapes. The track drips with ethereal soundscapes, with Cyrus’s voice weaving through a tapestry of sonic textures. Co-produced by Cyrus and Shawn Everett, alongside a dream team that includes Michael Pollack, Jonathan Rado, and Maxx Morando, the production choices echo the avant-garde spirit of the ’70s while maintaining a contemporary edge.

In contrast, “Something Beautiful” dives into a jazzy, psych-pop realm that’s both nostalgic and refreshing. The rich instrumentation contrasts Cyrus’s sultry vocals, creating an intoxicating vibe that begs for repeated listens. This track arrives with a visual flair, thanks to a collaborative direction by Cyrus, Jacob Bixenman, and Brendan Walter. Cinematographer Benoît Debie’s artistry brings the song to life—each frame captures the song’s essence, wrapping the viewer in a lush, dreamlike experience.

Notably, Cyrus herself has embraced this artistic endeavor, claiming that she wants the album to be “like Pink Floyd’s The Wall, but with a better wardrobe,” hinting at both audacious ambitions and a self-aware, glamorous attitude. The path to Something Beautiful has been paved by her earlier work, including the successful Endless Summer Vacation, released earlier in 2023, but this new project marks a profound evolution in her sound and vision.

Scheduled for release on May 30 via Columbia Records, Something Beautiful promises to envelop listeners in its thematic exploration and sonic diversity. As Cyrus continues to push boundaries, both sonically and visually, fans and newcomers alike can only wait in eager anticipation for what she has in store.

Stream the new singles “Prelude” and “Something Beautiful” below, and prepare for a journey through Miley’s beautifully intricate mind.
