Miley Cyrus Aims High With Her Latest Artistic Swerve
Miley Cyrus has spent her whole career mutating and evolving, making drastic musical left turns. She went from Hannah Montana to the indie-sleaze neon orgy that was Bangerz, the ultimate 'Disney kid breaks free' statement. But that turned out to be just one of the many Mileys we'd get to know — over the next decade, she moved on to the stoner prog-rock of her Flaming Lips project Dead Petz, to the rootsy country of Younger Now, to the Eighties electro power-glitz of Plastic Hearts. Some thought Endless Summer Vacation was as far as she could ever go. But on Something Beautiful, she's aiming higher than ever, with her most ambitious and introspective tunes. She's also made an upcoming companion film of the same name, which drops on June 6. She's not striving for hits — there isn't another 'Flowers' here. She's got loftier goals for this one, calling it 'a concept album that's an attempt to medicate somewhat of a sick culture through music.' More from Rolling Stone Miley Cyrus, Lorde, Haim, and All the Songs You Need to Know This Week Miley Cyrus Evokes Her Inner Showgirl in 'Easy Lover' Music Video Miley Cyrus Says Album After 'Something Beautiful' Will Be 'Extremely Experimental' Miley's been talking it up as being inspired by Pink Floyd's The Wall, their bleak 1979 classic about rock-star alienation and isolation. She says this album is 'The Wall, but with a better wardrobe and more glamorous and filled with pop culture.' (Quite honestly, going up against Roger Waters in a fashion battle is setting the bar a bit low.) It's not her first Floyd moment, since she sang a memorable 'Wish You Were Here' on SNL as a pandemic lament. All over the album she returns to the theme of healing, looking for moments of beauty in the darkness. She gets help from producer Shawn Everett and a killer ensemble of rock luminaries, from Flea and Danielle Haim to indie rockers like Model/Actriz's Cole Haden, Foxygen's Jonathan Radio, and the War on Drugs' Adam Granduciel. Talk about range: this has to be the first album to include duets with both Brittany Howard, from the roots-rockers Alabama Shakes, and supermodel Naomi Campbell. Something Beautiful begins with a poetic 'Prelude' where Miley shares her thoughts about letting go of the past and moving on to the future, 'aching to be seen, aching to be real.' 'Walk of Fame' is one of the peaks, her electro pep talk on self-esteem ('Every time I walk, it's a walk of fame') with Howard making herself right at home in the disco glitz. It's essentially a tribute to Seventies producer Giorgio Moroder, just as 'Easy Lover' and 'Golden Burning Sun' go for the laid-back vibe of Fleetwood Mac. 'End of the World' goes for Abba-tooled Euro-pop, vowing to 'throw a party like McCartney with some help from our friends.' The title track begins as a soft neo-soul ballad until it flips into distorted electro-noise. 'More to Lose' is a massive Eighties-style power ballad that addresses the end of a relationship, where she sees her once-cherished ex as 'a movie star in a worn-out coat.' But the sentimental favorite has to be 'Every Girl You've Ever Loved,' a fantastic disco twirl with Campbell. It's a welcome musical comeback for the Nineties fashion icon, 30 years after her unjustly forgotten one-off trip-hop oddity Baby Woman, not to mention her famous Vanilla Ice duet 'Cool As Ice (Everybody Get Loose).' Miley sings an invitation to romance, purring, 'Aren't I pretty enough for more than fun in the dark?' Campbell plays the spoken-word hype woman, telling us all how awesome Miley is: 'She's got that kind of grace/Did Botticelli paint her face?/She's got the perfect scent/She speaks the perfect French.' It ends with a walk-off where both women chant 'Pose, pose, pose!' It's also got the album's gnarliest Eighties sax solo — and there's a load of those, because Miley is obviously in a very sax-solo place right now. 'Every Girl You've Ever Loved' is the loosest, most playful song on the album, but also the one that best illustrates the redemptive spirit she's going for on Something Beautiful. All over the album, Miley sings about keeping her chin up and looking on the positive side, even in times of trouble, which makes this album basically the opposite of The Wall, which was all about having a bad time at a rock show. But Something Beautiful is another bold swerve in one of pop's most delightfully unpredictable careers.

Austrian Publication That Ran ‘Phony' Clint Eastwood Interview Cuts Ties with HFPA Member Author
Kurier, the Austrian newspaper that last week published an interview with Clint Eastwood that the director and actor on Monday called 'entirely phony,' has retracted the article and said it will no longer work with the author of the piece. The author, Elisabeth Sereda, is a freelance entertainment journalist for Kurier and was a member of the now-dissolved Hollywood Foreign Press Association. She is also currently a voter for the Golden Globes (the Golden Globes are co-owned by PMC, which is the parent company of IndieWire), though she is not a Golden Globes employee. In written remarks to IndieWire, Sereda explained that the quotes from Eastwood, while factual, were all compiled as part of a 'Best Of' story for the occasion of his 95th birthday. More from IndieWire Luca Guadagnino Attached to Direct AI Business Comedy 'Artificial' for Amazon MGM 'Ride or Die' First Look: Jamie Foxx Produces Indie Queer Road Trip Thriller Premiering at Tribeca Sereda said the quotes were drawn from 14 different interviews Eastwood gave to the HFPA as part of various panel discussions with HFPA members, and for which Sereda has spoken to Eastwood several times over the years. Transcripts of those interviews historically have been free to be used by HFPA members in articles, and Sereda said that while Eastwood may not have heard of Kurier, 'he is certainly familiar with the HFPA — having given more than 20 interviews to the group dating back to 1976.' However, the original article was presented as though it were a fresh conversation given for his 95th birthday. Kurier on Tuesday replaced the link to the original article with a statement from the editor, explaining that it had no reason to doubt Sereda had spoken with Eastwood and that the article was formatted 'as an interview, not a portrait,' ultimately agreeing that the article didn't meet Kurier's standards. 'According to Sereda, she wrote the current article based on these conversations. This means that all of Eastwood's statements were made exactly as they were, and this is documented. Using multiple interviews for a birthday portrait is common practice,' the Kurier statement reads (translated via Google). 'The article was formatted as an interview, not a portrait. This was intended to create the impression that it was a new interview. The fact that this wasn't the case is not in keeping with the quality standards the Kurier maintains.' The original Kurier article written by Sereda quoted Eastwood as saying 'I long for the good old days when screenwriters wrote movies like 'Casablanca' in small bungalows on the studio lot,' and that 'we live in an era of remakes and franchises.' The article also suggested that Eastwood told the publication he was in pre-production on another movie. Sereda told IndieWire the mention of him directing another movie is based on her research via IMDB Pro, which lists an upcoming project of his as 'in development,' and 'the project is never mentioned in a direct quote, only in the intro to the article.' Kurier's statement concludes saying it will no longer work with Sereda 'because transparency and our strict editorial standards are paramount to us.' Sereda disputed the publication's explanation slightly, saying she 'was asked' by Kurier to write a 'Best of' compilation with prior quotes she had done. She also added that she was a freelance contributor, not an employee of Kurier, and over the past six months has 'phased out her contributions' following the publication of her recent historical fiction novel. A rep for the Golden Globes said that Sereda is not an employee of the awards body and clarifies that the HFPA has not been affiliated with the Globes since 2023 when it was dissolved after being acquired by Penske Media and Dick Clark Productions.
