In an interview with the magazine Harper’s Bazaar, Miley Cyrus He said that he is already working on his next album and announced that he will call it Something Beautiful. In addition, the 2024 Grammy winner confessed that for the creation of this new production she was inspired by the music of Pink Floyd, more specifically in her album The Wallwhich premiered in 1982.
The singer also revealed that she watched the surreal classic rock film as a teenager with one of her brothers and a close friend. The three rented a limousine, smoked marijuana and wore 70s-style fur coats: “We really leaned in. And that’s why I have a heartfelt attachment to her. My idea was to do The Wall, but with a better and more glamorous wardrobe and full of pop culture,” he declared.
Although she did not specify the theme of this new project, the famous woman assured that the entire album will have a “hypnotizing and glamorous” vibe, with which she intends to “cure” the pop genre: “It is a concept album that It is an attempt to somehow medicate a sick culture through music”he explained.
Likewise, the artist emphasized that her desire is not only to create music to bring joy to her fans, but to impact their lives in some way: “I would like to be a human psychedelic for people. I don’t want anyone to try to be like me or imitate me. or even be inspired by me. “I want to impact frequencies on your body that make you vibrate at a different level,” he indicated.
In this line of “medicating pop” that the singer proposed, her objective is not only for the music to transmit these healing frequencies, but also to enhance that vibe through the videos that accompany her songs.
“The visual component of this is what drives the sound. It was important to me that each song had these healing properties of sound. The songs, whether 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 cannot have a painting without lights and contrast,” he noted.
Furthermore, in this talk, the actress also stated that for the last six or seven months she has been in the studio with the producer Shawn Everettrecording his new album and he puts all his attention to what he Miley Cyrus wants in the references: “She’ll want it to feel like a specific show or something. I love it when he talks like that. To me, it opens up a whole world,” Everett said.
The performer even confessed that currently, when she makes new music, she is inspired through the mixture of other disciplines such as fashion, film, music and visual arts. For example, during the recording of her single “Used to Be Young” in 2023, she brought several Maison Margiela pieces into the studio as inspiration. These garments came from designer John Galliano’s Co-Ed 2023 collection, based on the concept of “dressing in a hurry.”
One of the pieces was a dress that Galliano had given to Cyruswhile another was a torn vintage Mickey Mouse shirt and a third was a bright red bodysuit, which she described as “a kind of bedazzled swimsuit, very old Hollywood style.” This is how Miley Cyrus and Shawn Everett usually work regularly: “I can show him a painting or a dress and I tell him to transmit those colors or that fabric with sound“, pointed out the singer.
