Something Beautiful Is Coming: Grammy winner Miley Cyrus reveals plans for an ambitious visual album titled “Something Beautiful,” drawing inspiration from Pink Floyd’s “The Wall” while incorporating modern pop culture elements. Stereogum reports that the project, set for 2025 release, promises to blend healing soundscapes with striking visuals.
Creative Vision Expands: “My idea was making ‘The Wall,’ but with a better wardrobe and more glamorous and filled with pop culture,” Cyrus explains in Harper’s BAZAAR’s Art Issue, as reported by Loudersound. The concept album aims to “medicate somewhat of a sick culture through music” through hypnotic and glamorous presentations.

All-Star Team Assembles: The project brings together an eclectic creative team including “Mandy” director Panos Cosmatos and producer Shawn Everett. Cyrus’s boyfriend, Maxx Morando of Liily, contributes as co-writer and producer on multiple tracks.
Experimental Direction Takes Shape: “It’s more experimental than anything she’s ever done, but in a pop way that I love,” reveals producer Everett, noting Cyrus’s unique approach to translating visual references into sound. Miley actually plays the ukulele, but there’s no mention if she will play one here. You can check out the best ukulele bass if you want to play one yourself.
Personal Connection Drives Project: Cyrus’s teenage experience watching Pink Floyd’s “The Wall” with her brother created a “heart-first attachment” to the material, inspiring this ambitious reimagining.
