Miley Cyrus celebrates 'intense energy' of 'Something Beautiful' film premiere
NEW YORK – Miley Cyrus swanned onto the red carpet in a sheer beaded dress accentuated by a cream-colored acre of luxurious strands. She gathered the crew who supported her in making her 'Something Beautiful' visual album, as all, including mom Tish, turned toward the cameras. 'Everybody say 'dysfunctional!'' Cyrus yelled, beaming. The quip was indicative of Cyrus' playful mood as she arrived at the Beacon Theatre June 6 to premiere the stylish, near-hourlong film companion to the 'Something Beautiful' album that bowed May 30. The debut at the Tribeca Film Festival prefaces the June 12, one-day-only appearance the film will make in theaters nationwide. Need a break? Play the USA TODAY Daily Crossword Puzzle. Cyrus is the biggest contemporary pop star unveiling a film at this year's festival, which runs through June 15, and the sold-out theater full of devotees who loudly sang along with her new material emphasized the prestige moment. 'There is a very intense amount of energy we're sharing in this room,' she said during a post-screening chat with the audience, which included a Cyrus-led singalong of her 2009 hit, 'The Climb.' Intensity reigned throughout the 13 clips, with Cyrus donning fashion both sophisticated and sleek, dancing in fishnets and dispatching an industrial wind machine for added visual zip. She's the Pied Piper of feral emotions, slightly dangerous but a lot of fun, her penetrating gaze daring you to see what awaits. 'There's nothing more beautiful on the planet than deep emotion,' Cyrus said during her talkback. The 'Something Beautiful' record is inspired by Pink Floyd's 'The Wall' – a concept album connected to special memories with one of her brothers, she tells USA TODAY on the red carpet – and Cyrus' videos unfold with a loose connection that is all about feeling, much like the most memorable selections in the concept album annals. There isn't any filler in Cyrus' album or visual companion, which she said took about two weeks to shoot, and from the pink clouds and sunsets of "Golden Burning Sun" to the blue-gray shading of the Madonna-esque "Reborn," creativity dominates. These are the standouts. 'More to Lose' As the sparkly pop bounce of 'End of the World' fades into a screen of white light, a close-up image of Cyrus comes into view. The beaded headwear is the focal point until the camera pushes in even closer to Cyrus' perfectly shaded cheekbones, a most intimate angle for a most intimate song. 'Walk of Fame' The most compelling track on an album full of soaring choruses now has an equally absorbing video. In a world of neon, glitter and stiletto boots, Cyrus writhes against walls and struts down sidewalks, notably the Hollywood Walk of Fame. The song is an irresistible club banger with a throbbing chorus and Cyrus adeptly matches the mood of seedy and glam. She is visually arresting as she rolls around the ground, her eyes never losing the camera. Cuts to song guest Brittany Howard as she vocalizes add a flourish of drama, but nothing extra is needed with Cyrus as the subject. The clip was filmed at 2 a.m. on a street that hadn't seen much cleanup – 'We had everything we needed … besides a broom,' she joked at the screening – and consequently led to Cyrus contracting an infection. 'Every Girl You've Ever Loved' Cyrus strides through empty rooms followed by the galloping beat of the song. She cuts a powerful image singing in the shadows of her favorite toy, the industrial fan, while showcasing staccato movements. But her steely gaze betrays a mischievous flicker. Then model Naomi Campbell arrives for her feature on the song and she and Cyrus engage in a sexy-tough duet. The 'pose' coda of the song is set to the pair romping in black bodices and fishnets, exchanging piercing stares and strutting off together in mutual laughter ‒ girl power exemplified.

Legendary '70s Band Stuns Fans With Surprise Announcement
Legendary '70s Band Stuns Fans With Surprise Announcement originally appeared on Parade. As not only one of the most successful bands of the '70s, but also one of the most influential,. Pink Floyd has cemented their name in the music record books as one of the greats. They have created some of the most iconic sounds in all of music, constantly charting in greatest albums lists with projects like "Dark Side of the Moon," and "The Wall." In my personal opinion, their run of albums from 1973-1979 is one of the greatest runs of consistency from any band ever. All of those albums could be their best. One of the key members of Pink Floyd was Roger Waters, who served as Pink Floyd's lead songwriter and bassist before his departure from the band in the '80s. His separation and disagreements with the band have been very clear, which is what makes the band's recent announcement quite the surprise. The concert film will be in theaters June 23rd-27th. It's quite the surprise to see Waters endorsed on the account when you factor in his public disagreements with the rest of the surviving members, specifically guitarist David Gilmour. Fans reacted to this news in the comments. "This looks like an incredible experience for fans! Can't wait to see it in theaters.""Please do a reunion :( . Just for the world. The world needs Pink Floyd more than ever now." "David forgot to change the password again." Regardless of who is performing it, Pink Floyd's music is still phenomenal, and it's always a treat to see one of the original members performing it. 🎬SIGN UP for Parade's Daily newsletter to get the latest pop culture news & celebrity interviews delivered right to your inbox🎬 Legendary '70s Band Stuns Fans With Surprise Announcement first appeared on Parade on Jun 5, 2025 This story was originally reported by Parade on Jun 5, 2025, where it first appeared.
