Miley Cyrus has recently shared insights into her latest album, “Something Beautiful,” in an interview with Zane Lowe. The pop star revealed some intriguing details about the inspiration behind the album and the creative process involved in its making.
One of the most surprising revelations from the interview was that Cyrus drew inspiration from her godmother, Dolly Parton, for two tracks on the album. Parton’s influence can be heard in the songs “More to Lose” and “Every Girl You’ve Ever Loved.” Cyrus shared that after playing the title track, “Something Beautiful,” for Parton, the legendary singer encouraged her to create more hits, leading to the creation of these two tracks.
To bring her vision to life, Cyrus collaborated with her songwriting partner, Michael Pollack, to work on “More to Lose.” She explained how Pollack had already started working on a melody with another writer, Autumn Rowe, which they adapted for the song. This collaborative effort resulted in the creation of a track that resonated with Cyrus’ vision for the album.
In addition to discussing the creative process behind the album, Cyrus also shared insights into her interactions with other music legends. She expressed admiration for artists like Stevie Nicks and Elton John, highlighting their ability to stay current with music trends and their impact on her own musical journey.
Furthermore, Cyrus reflected on her journey to sobriety and the impact it has had on her life and music. She discussed how her vocal surgery in 2019 inspired her to make positive changes in her lifestyle, leading to a newfound sense of clarity and purpose in her music career.
As Cyrus continues to evolve as an artist, she emphasized the importance of authenticity and self-care in her creative process. By drawing inspiration from her experiences and relationships with other musicians, she aims to connect with her audience on a deeper level and create music that reflects her personal growth and artistic vision.
