The pop star is releasing an entire visual film in early June

Miley Cyrus’ new album has arrived — and it is Something Beautiful!
On Friday, May 30, the 32-year-old Grammy winner joined the New Music Friday lineup with her ninth studio album, which will be accompanied by a complete visual film that premieres on June 6 at the Tribeca Film Festival.
Cyrus produced Something Beautiful alongside Shawn Everett. It features contributions from the likes of Brittany Howard (on “Walk of Fame”) and Naomi Campbell (on “Every Girl You’ve Ever Loved”).
The singer’s boyfriend Maxx Morando also worked on the project, which was described as “introspective, sonically adventurous and emotionally grounded” in a press release.

Cyrus took to Instagram to celebrate the album’s imminent drop on the evening of Thursday, May 29, writing, “Celebrating the release of Something Beautiful the perfect way.”
The pop star continued, “Tonight was heaven, surrounded by the ones I love, adorning our ears with beautiful things as we count down to the moment I get to fill yours with this album I adore. Love to everyone who showed their support along this journey. xM”
To celebrate the big day, the “Flowers” hitmaker also offered another glimpse at the visual component of her album with the unveiling of a music video for the song “Easy Lover.”
In it, Cyrus performs the track and delivers a choreographed routine while wearing a pair of vintage, fringed Mugler chaps that are older than she is. She paired the turquoise chaps with a matching stoned bra.
Both pieces are archival and date back to Thierry Mugler’s spring 1992 ready to wear collection. The collection debuted in 1991, a year before Cyrus was born.
The visual component of the album was directed by Directed by Cyrus, Brendan Walter, Jacob Bixenman and acclaimed filmmaker Panos Cosmatos.

While on Jimmy Kimmel Live in May, Cyrus explained that the film “has no story” and is instead focused on the music.
“The music is the story. Every song is storytelling,” she said. “Even though this has become very kind of psychedelic and over the top [like] everything that I do, but at the end of it, really the heart of it is just the music. Really, the storytelling. So there was no need for characterization because I’m the character. And I never want to become something or someone that I’m not.”
Cyrus first announced her new album in March and began teasing visuals with the release of her song and music video for “End of the World” in April. A visual for “More to Lose” followed in May.
Something Beautiful follows her last record, 2023’s Endless Summer Vacation. The project earned Cyrus six Grammy nominations at the 2024 ceremony. She took home two — Record of the Year and Best Pop Solo Performance — for her chart-topping single “Flowers.”

During a May appearance on Apple Music 1’s The Zane Lowe Show, the pop star explained how the wins were “healing” for her.
“I think somewhere inside of me, I needed maybe to hold a trophy and just feel for a moment that I have something that I can hold in my hands that feels like a true achievement,” she explained.
According to Cyrus, Something Beautiful is “just the appetizer” for what is to follow — her “next album.” She described it as being “extremely experimental,” telling her fans to “have fun with that” during a listening party covered by Billboard.
Fans in the United States and Canada will be able to catch the Something Beautiful visual film in theaters on June 12. Tickets are available here.
