Miley Cyrus' ‘Something Beautiful' Album: All 13 Tracks Ranked
Ranking the songs of a visual album can feel a bit like ranking scenes of a film — and yet, favorites always emerge. The scene that makes you weep, the one that motivates and inspires, or the one that reclaims power. With Something Beautiful, the ambitious and glamorous ninth album from superstar Miley Cyrus, she gives us all of that — and then some. More from Billboard Robin Thicke and April Love Geary Marry After Six-Year Engagement Rihanna's Father, Ronald Fenty, Dies at 70: Report Selena Gomez Congratulates Taylor Swift on Buying Back Her Masters: 'So Proud' Across the album's 13 tracks, including a prelude and two interludes, Cyrus manages to deliver her most raw album yet. Throughout, she openly details the mental gymnastics that accompany the end of a relationship, the push-and-pull desire to be loved, and her own capacity to give love. Everything is on the table, and the result is a clear snapshot of an artist who has put in the work — and emerged in her prime. She'll be the first to say that she only got to this moment thanks to a public life of highs and lows – but as this project proves, there's beauty in it all. She also only arrived at this moment thanks to knowing herself well enough to put her own wants and needs first. As she joked at a listening event for fans earlier in the week: 'I love making music with everybody on this carpet – I don't do stages now,' a nod to news that she has no desire to tour again. It was on the same carpet, in an intimate room at Los Angeles' Chateau Marmont, that Cyrus workshopped the songs that became Something Beautiful. As she said, 'Watching [the album] become this butterfly and have this metamorphosis and evolution, it's so reflective of my life and everything I'm experiencing.' The album will be followed with a short film of the same name. After debuting at Tribeca Film Festival, Something Beautiful will be shown as a one-night-only screening across North American theaters on June 12 and internationally on June 27. And while these 13 tracks as a whole are what create Something Beautiful, you can find Billboard's ranking of the songs that soundtracked Miley's own metamorphosis below. Without a single word, the album's second interlude seems to say, 'enough of that.' Serving as the project's halfway point, it signals a shift toward what's to come: bigger beats, bigger balls and ultimately a breath of relief that marks the end of an era of significant personal growth. And really, what's more beautiful than that? What begins as a creeping interlude quickly spirals into what sounds like a late-night, on-foot chase scene. The fact that this 14-second instrumental bit is positioned in between 'More to Lose' and 'Easy Lover' is no coincidence – after singing about the end of a relationship and sharing after-the-fact reflections, that time stuck in between could be likened to a racing mind, trying to outrun one's own thoughts – and in the case of a superstar like Cyrus, the thoughts of everyone else too. This mostly spoken-word opening transitions from a twinkling, dazzling introduction to an aching, almost ominous entry point. Miley draws the listener in with just the right amount of intrigue, suspense and above all else, trust. 'Like walking alone through a lucid dream,' she says slowly, as the production swells. 'The beauty one finds alone is a prayer that wants to be shared,' she later says, underscoring the entire mission of this project. Not only is it a journey each listener should take alone – forming their own perspectives, finding their own beauty reflected within a particular scene or song – but it's a journey that Miley had to take alone to get to this point. And now, she's sharing that prayer. Recalling Miley's days spent working with The Flaming Lips or even the inspiration she said she took from Pink Floyd's The Wall (though mostly its film adaptation), 'Pretend You're God' is a slow-burning psychedelic interrogation: 'Do you still love me?' Miley begs to know. 'I gotta know. Never mind, just keep it quiet if you don't…I gotta know,' she sings, waffling between wanting the truth and thinking that maybe it's better left unsaid. As the song plays on, the torment of the unknown takes its toll, and the voices in her head grow louder and cloudier. By the song's end, there's no clear answer, and maybe that's the point; 'Pretend You're God' could just as well be a commentary on religion and faith, and searching for answers that can't be answered by anyone else. A continuation of 'Every Girl,' there's a hypnotic, trancelike quality to 'Reborn' – perhaps a necessity for the process of killing one's ego. Though at the same time that Miley suggests a rebirth, she requests, 'give me all your love!' – placing the eternal ego battle under a spotlight. But if that's what it takes – all the love – to be reborn, here it sounds like a fair and worthy exchange. By the song's end, in one of the few instances where Miley uses the word 'beautiful' outside of the title track, she cries out, 'you're so beautiful' repeatedly, as if she's looking directly at her newly emerged self. As she said at a listening event for fans earlier in the week: 'What's considered beautiful should be personal. It's about taking these experiences and wrapping them in beautiful ribbons and bows.' There's a lighter, freeing nature to 'Give Me Love' – as if everything exists in perfect harmony on the other side of the rebirth Miley sings of on 'Reborn.' Or, as she says here, 'once you get past the gray.' At the halfway point of the song, Miley's own vocals harmonize to form what can best be described as a choir of angels, encompassing the listener in the very thing she's asking for: love. And while Miley said at her listening event earlier in the week that what is considered beautiful is personal, this closing track underscores the one thing that can be universally agreed on as such: a continuous exchange and flow of love. A magnetic, synth-bumping disco-pop track, 'Walk of Fame' is a glorious kiss-off that soundtracks Miley metaphorically walking away from what doesn't serve her. Where's she going? Doesn't really matter; as she says, 'every time I walk, it's a walk of fame.' This song – which features Brittany Howard, a guest who makes perfect sense once the funky and electric bridge hits – serves as a manifesto for moving forward. Because if it wasn't clear yet, Something Beautiful is about the journey. This near-five-minute-long song is arguably the album's most bittersweet, as Miley repeatedly wonders: 'Can I have you, if I never let you down?' Though as the song plays on – and especially following the album's second interlude, which does arrive as a bit of a slap to the face – it begs a different question: Who is she trying to do right by? 'Surrender,' she later sings, 'and I'll never let you down.' And there, it seems, she's speaking more to herself; surrender to trying to please anybody else, she's saying. And in doing so, she can never let herself down. 'You're the only one, under the golden burning sun,' she sings. At first, following the dizzying prelude, it may seem that Miley is going to ease listeners into her world with this jazzy, soulful song. But just before the two-minute mark, that world gets rocked by a distorted, fuzzed-out crash as her vocals sound as if she's falling down a well and glitching at the same time. And it's quite possible that's how she felt while making this album, chronicling the ride that led her here. As is echoed throughout the project, there's beauty in everything – even, or perhaps especially, in moments of spiraling chaos. 'Every Girl You've Ever Loved' could be a distant cousin of 'Midnight Sky' as it delivers the same full-forced vocals from Miley. But here, the rougher rock edges have been refined into a glimmering disco track. Featuring spoken-word from none other than Naomi Campbell, her role is both observer and wingwoman, as she gasses Miley up ('She has the perfect scent. She speaks the perfect french,' she states). Throughout the track's latter half, Campbell repeats a singular instruction — 'pose' — as the production swirls and builds into the perfect soundtrack for a spellbinding vogue-off. Falling into the category of sultry pop song, 'Easy Lover' would sound right at home in a dim, hazy jazz club. Despite being separated by a brief interlude, it does feel related to 'More to Lose,' only more influenced by the anger and acceptance of a relationship ending rather than the sudden sadness. As she admits on 'More to Lose,' Cyrus knew her partner would do what she couldn't; and on 'Easy Lover,' she doubles down, saying, 'Tie me to horses and I still wouldn't leave ya.' After enough listens, the song's title takes on a double meaning: As Miley sings of someone being difficult to love, she's detailing her own capacity to love in spite of that. The question then becomes: Does she love too easily? Yet again, the album's overarching sentiment snaps into focus: Can't that be beautiful too? For those who have been following along, Cyrus wrote 'End of the World' for her mom, Tish. It's also one of the songs that shapeshifted as she workshopped the album through private shows for friends and family at Chateau Marmont. But in its current form, 'End of the World' is a soaring anthem that invites everyone to sing along on the chorus of 'oh ooh, oh ooh.' For a song that asks its listener to pretend like it's not the end of the world, Cyrus succeeds in offering a distraction – and even if it only lasts about four minutes, the message is eternal. While Something Beautiful offers high-energy glam rock alongside sultry pop songs, 'More to Lose' stands out as the sole ballad – and as anyone knows, Cyrus' ballads never miss. Much like 'The Climb' or 'Angels Like You,' her vocal prowess and poignant songwriting fuse for this devastating song about a relationship coming to its end. 'I knew someday you'd do what I couldn't do,' she sings. Yet, it's the pre-chorus that's become the most sticky, when she declares with a touch of knowing frustration: 'You're looking like a movie star in a worn-out coat, so I throw away my pride. It happens all the time.' There's a laughable relatability to the line, in which a superstar in her own right can be just as easily swayed as anyone else – proving the power, and cost, of love. But even still, to her entire point, how beautiful to have loved and lost at all.

Rihanna's Father, Ronald Fenty, Dies at 70: Report
Ronald Fenty, the father of Rihanna, has reportedly died at the age of 70. Fenty passed away following a brief illness, according to Starcom Network News, a radio station based in Rihanna's native Barbados. The official cause and exact date of death have not yet been disclosed. Sources told the outlet that he was surrounded by family at the time of his passing. More from Billboard Robin Thicke and April Love Geary Marry After Six-Year Engagement Selena Gomez Congratulates Taylor Swift on Buying Back Her Masters: 'So Proud' Los Alegres del Barranco Cancel Show in Michoacán for 'Security Concerns' Billboard has reached out to Rihanna's representatives for comment. On Wednesday (May 28), Rihanna's younger brother, Rajad Fenty, was photographed arriving at Cedars-Sinai Medical Center in Los Angeles. TMZ reports that the singer was also in the vehicle but was not visible in the photos. Rihanna — who is currently expecting her third child with A$AP Rocky — had a complicated relationship with her father over the years. The two were estranged for a period before eventually making amends. After Rihanna (born Robyn Rihanna Fenty) was assaulted by then-boyfriend Chris Brown in 2009, Fenty spoke publicly about the incident without her consent. In a 2011 interview with Vogue, the singer expressed her disappointment. 'You grow up with your father, you know him, you are a part of him, for goodness' sakes!' she said at the time. 'And then he does something so bizarre that I can't begin to wrap my mind around it.' In a 2012 interview with Oprah, Rihanna said she had repaired her relationship with her father, who she had described as being violent growing up. In 2019, however, she filed a lawsuit against him and his business partner, Moses Perkins, accusing them of attempting to profit off her name by launching a company called Fenty Entertainment. She alleged they misled investors by falsely claiming she was involved in the venture. Rihanna dropped the lawsuit shortly before it was set to go to trial in 2021, according to the BBC. Fenty shared three children — Rihanna, Rajad and Rorrey — with his ex-wife, Monica Braithwaite. The couple divorced in 2002. The family was raised in Bridgetown, Barbados, where Rihanna lived until she moved to the U.S. at age 16. He also had three children from previous relationships: daughters Samantha and Kandy, and son Jamie, People reports.
