Miley Cyrus has released new music from Something Beautiful, her upcoming visual album. Cyrus, 32, shared official videos for “Prelude” and “End of the World.”

Cyrus previously announced her forthcoming visual album – her ninth studio album – with a post on Instagram sharing the album’s cover artwork, shot by fashion photographer Glen Luchford and capturing Cyrus wearing a vintage archival 1997 Thierry Mugler couture from his Spring/Summer 1997 collection — which Cyrus’ post says is “a striking nod to the album’s bold aesthetic and visual storytelling.”

An Instagram post announcing the video for ‘Prelude’ read: “Miley Cyrus releases “Prelude” the first song and visual from her ninth studio album, Something Beautiful available May 30, 2025. “Prelude” features Miley wearing archival 1997 Thierry Mugler couture, as seen on the album artwork, shot by renowned fashion photographer Glen Luchford. The film’s cinematography is helmed by Benoît Debie, adding to its striking visual narrative. “Prelude” is now available on all streaming platforms.”

In the visual for ‘Prelude,’ Cyrus says: “Like when following an image from a train, your eyes can’t keep the passing landscapes from being swallowed into endless distance. Like when holding a fistful of ashes. Your hands can’t save the things that have already been dissolved into air…The beauty one finds alone is a prayer that longs to be shared.”

Miley also released the video for “End of the World”, with an Instagram post sharing the video stating: “End of the World” arrives with another striking yet simple visual, which brings the project’s unique aesthetic to life. The official video showcases Miley in her element on stage with her microphone in hand, reminiscent of her 2024 GRAMMYs performance. Miley is wearing an original custom Mugler by Casey Cadwallader. Each release unfolds as a fully realized artistic vision, blending music, film, and fashion into a singular cinematic experience. The new single “End of the World” out now.”

Something Beautiful will feature 13 original tracks and is executive produced by Cyrus alongside Shawn Everett (who she worked with on “Used To Be Young.”). Cyrus teased the project in a trailer that heralded it as a “one of a kind pop opera” as well as a “unique visual experience fueled by fantasy.”

Kendrick Lamar and SZA have dropped the video for their fan-favorite track “Luther.” The new video precedes Kendrick and SZA’s upcoming Grand National Tour, set to kick off April 19th in Minneapolis before hitting 18 more North American cities. Mustard will serve as support on tour.

The visual for Luther, directed by Karena Evans, finds both musicians in ‘separate realities’ that exist in the same setting; with the video ending with Luther Vandross and Cheryl Lynn’s cover of Marvin Gaye and Tammi Terrell’s “If This World Were Mine,” which is sampled on the chart-topping duet.  Ironically, video director Karena Evans has also previously shot the visuals for several hit Drake tracks (including “Nice For What,” “God’s Plan” and “In My Feelings.”)

“Luther” is Lamar’s sixth No. 1 and SZA’s third,  and currently sits at No. 1 on the Billboard 100 charts for its seventh week.
