After presenting his version of ‘Psycho Killer’ in May 2024, Miley Cyrus returns strongly. This time, the singer has surprised with a series of releases as the advancement of her next album, Subject Beautiful.
This Monday, Cyrus captivated his fans with the first two singles of the album: ‘Prelude’ and the homonym of the project. Both themes are accompanied by their respective musical videos, marking the beginning of a new stage in his career.
“This was another bold artistic evolution for Miley, merging music and cinema in an immersive experience,” says a statement in social networks.
Almost like a speech, ‘Prelude’ places the singer in the center of an instrumental ballad that fuses orchestra and synthesizers.“Like when following an image from through (As following an image from a train / your eyes, they cannot prevent the landscapes that pass from being lost in the infinite distance / as when holding a fist full of ashes / your hands they cannot save what has already dissolved in the air), Miley reflects in the song, which she copped next to Shawn Everett, Michael Pollack, Jonathan Rado and Maxx Morando.
Between shots of a black screen, interrupted by images of darkened flowers, flashes of light and fragments of the lyrics of the song, the audiovisual piece shows the artist with the same attire on the cover of her next album: “A Haute Couture archive of Thierry Mugler of 1997,” according to the official statement. The video clip was filmed by the Belgian cinematographer Benoît Debie (Spring Breakers)whose talent enhances its powerful visual narrative.
Hours after the release of the first single, Cyrus presented ‘Something Beautiful’, an issue that reinforces this new facet of its sound. What begins as a delicate alternative R&B melody is soon transformed into a distorted rock outbreak, accentuated by the shocking visuals of their video clip, where reflectors explode in synchrony with the intensity of the song. “Tell Me Subject Beautiful Tonight / Until Your Lips Turn Blue” (Tell me something beautiful tonight / until your lips get blue), the artist of ‘Wrecking Ball’ sings.
Scheduled for May 30, Miley Cyrus’s ninth album will include 13 original songs and a film version directed by the pop star itself, along with Jacob Bixenman and Brendan Walter. “These songs reinforce the immersive and operative approach of the project, marking the beginning of a carefully structured trip,” says the official statement. In addition, to maintain the expectation, Cyrus will launch on April 3 ‘End of the World’, the next advance of its so anticipated work.
Subject Beautiful It arrives after Endless Summer Vacation (2023), the album that brought with it the resounding success of ‘Flowers’, an issue that gave Miley its first Grammy for best solo pop interpretation and recording of the year.
In an interview with Rolling Stone in 2024, the artist shared her reflections on this next install The Wallbut with a better costume, more glamorous and full of pop culture. … The songs, whether they talk about destruction, heartbreak or death, are presented in a beautiful way, because the darkest moments of our life have a beauty point. ”
