“We were many times in this room,” he says Brandi Cyrus in front of a full and intimate room within the Chateau Marmont of Los Angeles.
Tonight returned, accompanied by her mother Tish cyrusclose friends, family and special guests such as the actress Anya Taylor-Joyto celebrate the launch of his sister Miley’s ninth album, Subject Beautifulwhich will arrive this Friday, May 30.
The meeting, organized by Tiktok for his Superfans, brought together people personally chosen by the artist. Although the invitation spoke of a simple listening session, the real surprise was Miley’s appearance to perform new songs and also some already known.
The public sang with it themes such as “Something Beautiful”, “End of the World”, “More to Lose” and the very commented “Easy Lover”. Then came the six unpublished themes of the album (not counting interludes), which aroused immediate reactions. “This is long,” said a fan about “Golden Burning Sun.” Upon listening to “Pretend You’re God”, someone compared it to “Midnight Sky”, while another thought to distinguish a saxophone, although her partner, too busy dancing, did not respond. “Reborn”, the penultimate track, refers to another era, as if he could have been part of the universe of Mayhem of Lady Gaga. The closure, with “Give Me Love”, left everyone in a deep silence. “Not even to jump,” he heard between applause.
When the music ended, many looks went to rear access. “Will it come?” Someone whispered among the general expectation. And at 6:59 pm o’clock, Miley crossed the door.
Went to space accompanied by Maxx dwelling On battery, Jonathan Rado in guitar and Michael Pollack In piano, all collaborators of the album as co -authors and co -producers. He started with the ballad “More to lise”, and then he went to the public with sincerity: “Playing in the Chateau was always something exclusive, only for my closest friends and my family. This is how I understood this album. Because if you don’t work with me and with my band, then what is it for?”
“I enjoy making music with those who are here tonight. I no longer get on stage,” he added with a smile. “Seeing this album becoming a butterfly, crossing its metamorphosis and evolution, reflects what I am living.”
He continued with the seductive “Easy Lover”, and then with her global “flowers”, number one in the Hot 100. “This song gave me one of the most exciting experiences I lived by sharing music with the world,” he said. While talking about his journey with his fans for two decades, he released a warning between laughs: “I’m not going to sing ‘The Climb’, but could …”. That phrase was enough for Pollack to start playing the first chords. Miley accepted the wink and sang part of the theme. He closed the 45 -minute presentation with “End of the World.”
“We grew up together,” Miley said. “Growing up, some things come, others leave. But I never wanted you to be one of those that leave.”
Before saying goodbye, he shared a scoop: Subject Beautiful As soon as the beginning represents. “My next album is much more experimental. So … enjoy this first.”
Earlier, Brandi summed up his sister’s essence with a phrase: “His evolution always surprises. I saw closely the passion and precision that he puts in every detail. That is why everything he does is so powerful.”
“Thank you for being here with our family and friends in such a special place,” Brandi concluded.
For those who follow Miley always, it was not only a symbolic place, but a sacred space. As she remembered, there are videos where he sings in the Chateau for a few chosen while shaping this album. This time, the chosen ones were their greatest fans. And what they lived was truly somewhat beautiful.
