Miley Cyrus is already promising an 'extremely experimental' follow-up to Something Beautiful
Miley Cyrus has promised an "extremely experimental" follow-up to 'Something Beautiful'.
The 32-year-old singer will release her ninth studio album on Friday (30.05.25), but she's already looking ahead to the next one as she starts work on her milestone 10th LP.
As reported by Rolling Stone magazine, she gave fans at an event at Hollywood's Chateau Marmont hotel a hint of what's to come.
She told the small crowd: "My next album is about to be extremely experimental, so have fun with that.
"'Something Beautiful' is just the appetizer."
At the fan event, Miley performed some new tracks like 'Easy Lover', 'End of the World' and 'More To Lose', along with her 2023 hit 'Flowers'.
She even treated fans to a bit of 'The Climb' from 2009's 'Hannah Montana: The Movie'.
'Something Beautiful' - which is a visual album - is set for release on May 30, while the film will receive its world premiere at the 2025 Tribeca Film Festival in June.
So far, fans have heard a handful of the 13 new songs from the collection, all of which will be accompanied by new visuals that have been described as a "one of a kind pop opera".
After releasing the title track 'Something Beautiful', Miley teased that the album marked "another bold artistic evolution" in her career.
A statement on her Instagram account read: "Miley's second song and video release 'Something Beautiful', the title track off of the forthcoming album explores her deep connection to fashion showcasing an original custom design by Casey Cadwallader for the House of Mugler in the visual.
"This era marks another bold artistic evolution for Miley, blending music and film into an immersive experience."
'Something Beautiful' - which Miley is co-executive producing with Shawn Everett - is the follow-up to 2023's 'Endless Summer Vacation'.
The 'Flowers' hitmaker previously teased that the upcoming album was inspired by Pink Floyd's 'The Wall', and described it as a "healing" record.
She explained to Harper's Bazaar: "My idea was making 'The Wall', but with a better wardrobe and more glamorous and filled with pop culture.
"It's a concept album that's an attempt to medicate somewhat of a sick culture through music.
"I would like to be a human psychedelic for people. I don't want anyone trying to be like me or imitate me or even be inspired by me. I want to impact frequencies in your body that make you vibrate at a different level."

Miley Cyrus addresses future acting plans as she issues 'challenge' to Hollywood directors
Miley Cyrus has "never really found the role" that would allow her to revive her acting career. The 32-year-old pop star shot to international fame when she took on the title role of Disney's musical television sitcom 'Hannah Montana' in the late 2000s, but has since been heavily focused on her music and only appeared in a handful of films. Speaking on the New York Times' 'The Interview' podcast, she said: "It's actually really interesting because I got 'Hannah Montana' because I was a singer. "I was singing in Nashville, there was a little place in our mall where you could go and make demos. We don't have a Build-A-Bear, we had Build-A-Country-Music-Star! "So I used to go to the mall, make my demos, write my songs. And they were looking for someone who could really sing, not just record kids' music but actually have music be the heart of the show. I was chosen to be an actress because I was a singer. "I got known as being an actress, but I hadn't actually acted in anything. I had been in a baked bean commercial and I had two lines in a Tim Burton one time." The 'Easy Lover' hitmaker - who starred opposite now ex-husband Liam Hemsworth in 'The Last Song' in 2010 and last held a leading role with 2012's 'So Undercover' - is still keen to return to acting at some point and has "challenged" directors an writers to come up with something that she can play. She added: "I became an actress so I could bring that part to life and then I just never really found the role for me because I'm such a character in myself that to find something that can absorb me completely is really challenging. "And I challenge every writer and director out there to bring it to me because I would love to. "I either want to be myself because I'm really good at that, or I wanna throw me away because I'm really good at that too. I'm not good in the middle."

Films that shaped Aaron Taylor-Johnson to be the next James Bond
The rumour mill went into overdrive last week when a major clue suggested that British heart-throb Aaron Taylor-Johnson has signed on to be the next James Bond. Many names have been thrown in the mix as to who will take over the iconic 007 gig from Daniel Craig. From Idris Alba to Regé-Jean Page to Theo James and Henry Cavill, it's been quite the guessing game in Hollywood. But the biggest clue came last week when Taylor-Johnson was announced as an ambassador for Omega – the brand of watch that the sexy secret agent has been wearing in every film since Golden Eye in 1995. Taylor-Johnson, 34, join the luxe label's roster of global ambassadors, with the latest promotional campaign showing the Kick-Ass and Avengers actor staring into a cabinet filled with the expensive wristwatches. According to The Sun, the Marvel star was formally offered the role of the British spy last year – and it's easy to see why Taylor-Johnson is a cut above the rest. He's British, he's dapper and he's Kick-Ass. Yep, the actor quite literally played the titular character in the 2010 film Kick-Ass and its 2013 sequel, Kick-Ass 2. So he's also got the spy moves down pat. But before he goes all suave and secret agent on us, here are the films that quite possibly helped shape Taylor-Johnson to become the next James Bond – and they are all available to watch for free on streaming service Tubi. All we can say is, Taylor-Johnson – who was recently labelled Britain's next leading man by Rolling Stone – has had quite the glow-up… Kick-Ass In this 2010 action-comedy, Taylor-Johnson plays high school geek Dave Lizewski who reinvents himself as the superhero Kick-Ass. He has zero powers, but confidence is everything. And by wearing his green and yellow mask, he goes from ordinary to extraordinary as he fights crime with his trusty batons. He may need to ditch them for an Aston Martin and sleek gadgets as 007, but Taylor-Johnson will find his Kick-Ass training will come in handy should he be faced with some villains and henchmen in the James Bond films. Dummy He was a reluctant hero in the 2008 tear-jerker Dummy, but Taylor-Johnson got to hone his craft. Here, the actor showed off his acting range to play Danny, an aspiring DJ who assumes a parental role in his younger brother Jack's life when their mother suddenly dies. The brothers take different approaches to dealing with her death – Danny takes the destructive route plotted with sex, drugs and music, and Jack (played by Thomas Grant) adopts a more unconventional method by finding a mannequin and dressing it up like their mother. As they learn to come to terms with their mum's death, Taylor-Johnson is superb as he navigates a rollercoaster of emotions in the film. The Magic Door Before he was a superhero in Kick-Ass and a sensitive soul on Dummy, Taylor-Johnson played make believe in the fantasy-adventure film The Magic Door. In this tale that's part Power Rangers, part Hansel and Gretel, the fresh-faced actor plays an elf named Flip who goes on an adventure with two runaway siblings. The trio encounter a troll named Raglin who is trying to find the magic door that will take him back home to Fairyland. But the path is no yellow brick road once they encounter Raglin's bitter enemy, the Black Witch. A troll, an evil witch and a frosty face-off, it sounds like the fairytale version of James Bond, if you ask us.

Yungblud tips the hat to Lady Gaga and Florence Pugh
Yungblud has hailed Lady Gaga a "beautiful mind with a limitless imagination". The 27-year-old rocker is one of the 'Born This Way' hitmaker's Little Monsters and would love to be in the room every time she makes a creative decision. He told Rolling Stone: 'I would love to be a fly on the wall every time Gaga walks up to her team and goes, 'Right, this is what we're doing next.' 'She's a beautiful mind and a limitless imagination, you can tell. She's just herself, isn't she?' The 'Fleabag' star went on to compare Gaga, 39, to 'Thunderbolts' actress Florence Pugh, 29, who features in his new music video for his track 'Zombie'. He told the publication: 'Florence Pugh, in my opinion, is one of the most exciting British artists in a long time. 'I think she has this individuality that is not adherent to anyone else. She is completely legit and individual within her own style in her own time.' In the promo, Florence plays an exhausted health worker on the brink. He added: 'The song is so deep, so emotional, but so fundamentally British. 'I was like mind blown watching her on set. And she's just a legend. You can tell, man. She's just sat in a pub on a Sunday with a pint of Guinness, just talking s***.' It's the third track to be taken from the pop rocker's upcoming album, 'Idols', following 'Hello Heaven, Hello' and 'Lovesick Lullaby'. Yungblud said in a statement about 'Zombie': 'The song was written initially about my grandmother going through serious injury and trauma, leading her to become a different person to who she was before. It's about the feeling of deterioration and ugliness; shutting out the world and the people we love out of the fear of becoming a burden or an embarrassment. 'We all want someone or something to comfort us no matter how we are right now or who we become in the future. But it's f****** scary.'
