Miley Cyrus revealed she will release an experimental visual album in 2025 titled Something Beautiful, with the 31-year-old sharing during an interview featured in Harper’s Bazaar‘s December ‘24/January ‘25 Art Issue that the songs will take inspiration from the project’s visuals.

Cyrus said of the project: “It was important for me that every song has these healing sound properties. The songs, whether they’re about destruction or heartbreak or death, they’re presented in a way that is beautiful, because the nastiest times of our life do have a point of beauty. They are the shadow, they are the charcoal, they are the shading. You can’t have a painting without highlights and contrast.”

Cyrus added that the project was inspired by Pink Floyd — The Wall: “My idea was making The Wall, but with a better wardrobe and more glamorous and filled with pop culture.”  The project will be Cyrus’ ninth studio album; a release date has not yet been announced.
