Back to unconventional
FOR most pop artistes, exploration is a scary word. Following one's musical muse does not always pan out according to plan, especially when it differs from current music trends. Miley Cyrus's artistry, therefore, has been a breath of fresh air. Since her Disney days, Cyrus has constantly made it a point to evolve. From embracing her pop sensibilities to trying out du jour hip-hop, the 32-year-old has enticed fans with unpredictability throughout her career. Her ninth album Something Beautiful is reflective of that tradition. Centring on her recovery from trauma, Cyrus returns to her desire to push beyond the norms of popular music. Breaking free from expectations Although the songs contain pop elements, the album's offerings are not reflective of today's musical preferences. Whether by their hooks or choruses, the songs are not obvious candidates for hits on radio or TikTok. Even the catchiest offerings such as End of the World, Easy Lover, Walk of Fame and Reborn defy the expectations of a pop star such as Cyrus. Instead, the album is curated for listeners who long for something more. With heavy influences from the 70s and 80s, Something Beautiful may find fans among those who are appreciative of those musical periods. Advocate of Cyrus's vocals Since the release of her previous album Endless Summer Vacation, fans have seen less of Cyrus. This is due to her recent diagnosis of Reinke's edema. This medical condition, according to her, makes it difficult to perform live. Though it shapes her unique sound, Cyrus has compared the condition to 'running a marathon with ankle weights on'. The struggle, however, has not prevented Cyrus's vocal growth as evident in Something Beautiful. Listeners will be quick to detect Cyrus's vocal improvement and prowess throughout the album. The noteworthy performances include More to Lose, Easy Lover and Walk of Fame. Premature evolution Cyrus's desire to further her musical sound is certainly to be applauded. But the move feels a bit premature. Though ambitious, many of the songs could have used additional time in the oven. They do not feel fully realised in the current state. Similar to her efforts on Younger Now and Miley Cyrus & Her Dead Petz, the songs do not have a strong and impactful identity. They do not push the genre's boundaries as they do not have much to offer. Additionally, certain songs could have been removed from the album. Its prelude and interludes, for one, were unnecessary additions. They provide no artistic value to the album as a whole. Only appetiser When compared with her previous works, Something Beautiful certainly falls short. It is not representative of Cyrus's artistry and calibre as an artiste. But like Taylor Swift's Tortured Poets Department, Something Beautiful may just be a cathartic purging of emotions for Cyrus. After all, the Malibu hitmaker did describe the album as 'just an appetiser' during her performance at the Chateau, hinting at the possibility that Something Beautiful might just be a stepping stone to something else. Until then, we will wait patiently.

'She's a wonderful human being': Arnold Schwarzenegger praises son Patrick's ex-girlfriend Miley Cyrus
Arnold Schwarzenegger has fond memories of his son Patrick Schwarzenegger's ex-girlfriend Miley Cyrus. The White Lotus actor dated the Easy Lover hitmaker, 32, between 2014 and 2015 before finding love with his fiancee Abby Champion and Arnie has revealed that the pop star was "loved" by all of the family. Quizzed on the best thing about Patrick dating Miley, the Terminator actor told Watch What Happens Live With Andy Cohen: "The best was that she's a wonderful, wonderful girl and human being. Very, very talented. She came up to Sun Valley when we were skiing up there and she was just such a wonderful houseguest and everything like that. "We all just loved her." Schwarzenegger insists that there were no downsides to Patrick, 31, dating such a high-profile star. The 77-year-old actor said: "She was just a really good, good person and fun to hang out with." Arnie continued: "I'm sorry it didn't work out. But Patrick, in the meantime, found another girl that he got engaged with and he's getting married to in September." Patrick played the role of Saxon Ratliff in the third season of the acclaimed TV series The White Lotus and Arnie revealed his shock at seeing his son strip nude for a scene in the HBO show. Speaking in a joint interview for Variety's Actors on Actors series, the True Lies star said: "I couldn't believe [it]. "I said to myself, 'I'm watching your show, and I'm watching your butt sticking out there.' And all of a sudden, I see the weenie. "What is going on here? This is crazy." However, the movie legend soon reminded himself that he had appeared in precious little clothing for some of his most memorable roles. Arnie said: "Then I said to myself, 'Well, Arnold, hello. You did the same thing in Conan and Terminator, so don't complain about it.' "But it was a shock to me that you were following my footsteps so closely." Patrick previously admitted that he was frustrated that some assumed that he had landed a part in The White Lotus because of his famous father. He told The Sunday Times newspaper: "I know there are people who'll say I only got this role because of who my dad is. "They're not seeing that I've had 10 years of acting classes, put on (high) school plays every week, worked on my characters for hours on end or the hundreds of rejected auditions I've been on."

Miley Cyrus Earns Multiple Comeback Smashes As Her New Album Debuts
As Miley Cyrus's new album Something Beautiful debuts on charts around the world, one tune from the project has emerged as a standout success: "Easy Lover." The song has made its way onto a number of rankings, including several in the United Kingdom, where fans have shown their love for the singer by purchasing the focus cut in large numbers. Both Something Beautiful and "Easy Lover" debut simultaneously, and a handful of tracks by Cyrus break back onto various tallies in the region, becoming top performers and powerful sellers once again during this exciting frame for the superstar. Cyrus introduced Something Beautiful with its lead single "End of the World," which first arrived this spring. This week, the track returns to the Official Singles chart in the U.K., landing at No. 83. The composition also soars on two other tallies — thanks, it seems, to a dramatic increase in purchases. "End of the World" reappears inside the top 40 on both the Official Singles Downloads and Official Singles Sales charts. It jumps from No. 78 to No. 31 on the former and from No. 82 to No. 34 on the latter. At the moment, only two tracks from Something Beautiful are present on the U.K. charts. Meanwhile, what may be Cyrus's most famous tune becomes a bestseller once again. "Flowers" reenters both the Official Singles Downloads and Official Singles Sales charts, appearing in the lower reaches at Nos. 89 and 93, respectively. The track, which took over the planet in 2023 and introduced her album Endless Summer Vacation, has spent more than 100 weeks on each list. It regularly falls off of, and then returns to, these rankings, with its fate largely determined by the level of competition.
