Miley Cyrus Releases Bold New Album “Something Beautiful”
At only 32 years old, Miley Cyrus has already established herself as a chameleonic pop star who is constantly pushing boundaries and reinventing herself. Her latest album, “Something Beautiful,” released on Columbia Records, is her most daring yet. While it may be more bodacious than “Bangerz” and even wackier than “Miley Cyrus & Her Dead Petz,” Cyrus proves that she has nothing to prove but continues to challenge herself and keep her fans on their toes.
With “Something Beautiful,” Cyrus takes a nostalgic trip back to the late ‘70s and early ‘80s, channeling the glittering Europop and operatic psychedelia of that era. Songs like “End of the World” and “Every Girl You’ve Ever Loved” pay homage to legends like ABBA and Donna Summer, with a modern twist that showcases Cyrus’s unique style and creativity.
While some tracks on the album may not be as radio-friendly as her previous hits, Cyrus proves that she doesn’t need to cater to anyone’s expectations. The title track, “Something Beautiful,” starts as a soulful ballad before erupting into an experimental rock chorus with distorted vocals, showcasing Cyrus’s willingness to take risks and explore new sounds.
But it’s in the back half of the album where Cyrus truly shines. Tracks like “Reborn” and “Walk of Fame” are epic dance anthems that highlight Cyrus’s versatility as an artist and solidify her status as a pop icon. With an album like “Something Beautiful,” Cyrus is once again proving that she belongs in the same conversation as pop greats.
Despite her impressive career and global success, Cyrus has only recently received her first Grammy. With “Something Beautiful,” she may just find herself back in the winner’s circle, as the album is a true showcase of her talent and artistry.
Overall, “Something Beautiful” is a bold and daring album that cements Miley Cyrus’s status as a powerhouse in the music industry. With its mix of nostalgia, experimentation, and infectious energy, the album is a testament to Cyrus’s evolution as an artist and her commitment to pushing boundaries.
