Miley Cyrus Is Back — and She's Sharing Something Real in ‘Something Beautiful’
Miley Cyrus just dropped her ninth studio album, Something Beautiful, and honestly, it feels like one of her most personal projects yet. The album came out on May 30, 2025, and it’s not just music — it’s like she's opening up a part of herself that we haven’t seen in a while. There’s this calm confidence in her voice now. The kind that comes with knowing who you are, and not trying to prove anything. It’s got a little bit of everything — soul, pop, rock, even some disco — but what really stands out is how deeply personal it all feels.
What’s the Album Really About?
This album feels like a reflection of everything Miley’s been through — love, heartbreak, self-discovery, and just the ups and downs of life. She sings about things that are messy, beautiful, and sometimes painful, but in a way that makes you feel like you’ve been there too. One of the big tracks, “Easy Lover,” was apparently written for Beyoncé but ended up on Miley’s album, and it fits so well — it’s smooth, emotional, and feels like one of those songs you want to play on repeat late at night.
Other tracks like “End of the World” mix sadness with a dance-y vibe, kind of like saying, “Yeah, things are falling apart, but I’m still gonna dance through it.” And then there’s “More to Lose,” which is slower, soft, and super emotional. You really get a sense of vulnerability in that one.
She’s Not Just Releasing Music — She’s Telling a Story
Along with the album, Miley’s also dropping a visual film that goes with it. It’s premiering at the Tribeca Film Festival on June 6. She co-directed it with Jacob Bixenman and Brendan Walter, and from what we know, it’s being called a “pop opera.” That basically means it’s going to take you through the emotions of the album using visuals, scenes, and performances — kind of like a music movie. She’s always been creative with her visuals, so fans are definitely looking forward to this.
Live Performance That Felt Like a Homecoming
To celebrate the album, Miley performed a surprise set at the Chateau Marmont in LA. It wasn’t a huge stadium show — more like an intimate gathering with friends, family, and close fans. She even sang “The Climb” — yes, that The Climb — along with her new tracks. The vibe was emotional but grounded. Like she wasn’t just singing songs — she was really sharing where she’s at in her life right now.
Final Thoughts
If you’re expecting old Miley — the wild, chaotic energy — this isn’t that. Something Beautiful is more grounded, more grown-up, but not boring at all. It’s thoughtful and still full of energy, but in a way that feels mature and steady. You can tell she’s not chasing a trend here. She’s just being herself, and letting the music speak for her.
So whether you're a longtime fan or someone who's just curious, give it a listen. There’s a good chance you’ll find a track that hits home.
