Cyrus released the singles 'Prelude,' 'Something Beautiful,' 'End of the World,' and 'More to Lose' ahead of the record. Cyrus has said that Something Beautiful was inspired by Pink Floyd's The Wall. 'My idea was making The Wall, but with a better wardrobe and more glamorous and filled with pop culture,' she said in an interview with Harper's Bazaar.

The 5 Biggest Takeaways From Miley Cyrus's New Album, 'Something Beautiful'
"Hearst Magazines and Yahoo may earn commission or revenue on some items through these links." Miley Cyrus is back and better than ever. After a series of career highs, from her first Grammy wins to a chart-smashing hit, Cyrus took some time away from the spotlight to work on her ninth studio album, Something Beautiful—which is out today. Now that it's finally here, it proves to be her most daring, most cohesive collection of work yet. 'I would like to be a human psychedelic for people,' Cyrus told Harper's Bazaar last year for our December/January cover story. At the time, she unveiled the name of her new album and revealed the forces that inspired it, from Pink Floyd's The Wall to Thierry Mugler's groundbreaking 1995 couture show. On how she approached the music, Cyrus said, '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.' She added: 'The visual component of this is driving the sound. It was important for me that every song has these healing sound properties. The songs, whether they're about destruction or heartbreak or death, they're presented in a way that is beautiful, because the nastiest times of our life do have a point of beauty. They are the shadow, they are the charcoal, they are the shading. You can't have a painting without highlights and contrast.' As for those visuals, Cyrus actually has a corresponding musical film that will premiere on June 6 at the Tribeca Film Festival, with a limited theatrical release following on June 12. She has claimed that the movie is her 'way of touring' and it promises to be an immersive experience of fashion, music, cinema, and more. But let's get back to the music for a moment. Ahead, we break down the five biggest takeaways from Miley Cyrus's new album, Something Beautiful. From her Hannah Montana days to her early ballads like 'When I Look At You,' Cyrus has always proven that she's got pipes, and she's spent the last few years really honing her vocal craft. Sometimes she leans more into twang, like in her Backyard Sessions cover of 'Jolene,' but other times she lets the raspiness of her voice add a certain luster to her songs, as demonstrated on more recent tracks like 'Angels Like You' and 'River.' On Something Beautiful, the Grammy winner's vocals take on a whole new spirit of their own. 'Easy Lover' stirs its listeners when she drags out the first word ('But you're not an eeeeeeasy lover'), channeling rock legends like Joan Jett or Janis Joplin. In 'Golden Burning Sun,' it sounds like Cyrus is actually trying to make her vocals reach the stars as she belts 'Surrenderrrr!' She gives every single note her all, and it makes for an electric listening experience. Despite being her most cohesive work to date, Something Beautiful isn't easy to nail down, genre-wise. Cyrus plays with jazz, rock, psychedelia, house, and disco. But if there's one thing that seems consistent across the work, it's that she wants us to move. 'Walk of Fame' is an electropop anthem that explores Cyrus's relationship to celebrity with strong synths leading the charge. In 'Every Girl You've Ever Loved,' Naomi Campbell literally commands her listeners to 'pose,' like they're on the runway at a ball. Cyrus previously told Harper's Bazaar that she wanted to create music that was 'hypnotic.' Something Beautiful was 'an attempt to medicate somewhat of a sick culture through music,' she added. Clearly, that medicine is busting some moves. When making Something Beautiful, Cyrus collaborated with her boyfriend, Maxx Morando, on a number of the tracks, and it's evident that the album is a labor of love. In 'Pretend You're God,' Cyrus sings to a lover, telling them that she's going to deify them, with that adoration even turning into a form of addiction. 'In my dreams, I see your face / It hits me like a thousand trains / I don't wanna wake up if you're gone.' With 'Reborn,' Cyrus declares that her love is so strong it's like being in heaven, and she's experiencing something spiritual with her partner. 'If heaven exists, I've been there before / Kill my ego, let's be reborn.' Even when she's not seemingly singing about her current paramour, Cyrus explores lost loves, most notably on the ballad 'More to Lose' (which she called her 'I Will Always Love You' in an interview with Zane Lowe). The track might be about her relationship with Liam Hemsworth, who she was married to from 2018 until their divorce in 2020. Love, whether it's a memory or something burning right in front of her, is everywhere across this music. Of course, it's hard to talk about Something Beautiful without talking about the accompanying visuals. Before she drops her full musical film in June, Cyrus has given us a taste of what to expect with the music videos, which have been fashion-heavy, to say the least. From archival Bob Mackie to vintage Thierry Mugler—which legendary fashion photographer Glen Luchford shot for the album's cover—it's clear that fashion was a driving force behind this project. Even her street style appearances have been marked by clothing straight off the Fall 2025 runways, from Alaïa to Saint Laurent and more. Producer Shawn Everett noted to Bazaar that fashion shows played a major role during the recording process. 'She'll want it to feel like this specific runway show or something,' Everett says. 'I love when she talks like that. For me, it opens up a whole world.' Cyrus herself added, 'My idea was making The Wall, but with a better wardrobe and more glamorous and filled with pop culture.' Time will tell whether Something Beautiful has the same culture-defining legacy, but when it comes to the glamor: mission accomplished. Something Beautiful largely focuses on the nature of existence. Cyrus frequently poses questions about religion and free will, and she often references the state of the world. Her song titles seem to portend some sort of an apocalypse: 'End of the World,' 'Golden Burning Sun,' 'Reborn.' But actually, she seems more interested in the ways in which we persist and persevere. 'Tell me something beautiful, yeah, about this world,' she sings in the title track. 'Tell me something I can hold on to, you're who I belong to.' Often, the lyrics return to that idea of love, and Cyrus seems to believe that love will be the one thing that saves us. On the final lines of the album, in the song 'Give Me Love,' Cyrus leaves us with an image of her dream life crumbling to the ground. Somehow, though, it turns into a message of hope. 'So I'll say my goodbyes to the earthly delights / While my perfect Eden goes down in flames / I'm eaten alive by the mouth of a monster / While fearlessly callin' out your name.' With her existential agency, Cyrus will use every chance she gets to fight for love.

Miley Cyrus' net worth: A look at her wealth as ‘Something Beautiful' drops
When Miley Cyrus became a household name as the tween star of Disney's "Hannah Montana," it was clear her talents-and influence-couldn't be contained on the small screen alone. In just a few short years, Cyrus established herself as a film actor with major box office appeal and an award-winning singer/songwriter whose hit songs transcended pop, country, and hip hop categories. But her journey to adulthood was an artistic evolution, and she sparked controversy as she shed her Disney persona for an edgier, more experimental lifestyle. Subject to incessant media attention, Cyrus has been candid about her pansexual identity, her tumultuous family dynamics, and her struggles with drugs and alcohol. In the process, she became an advocate for LGBT rights, mental health awareness, and gender equality, gaining hundreds of millions of social media followers in the process and permanently cementing her status as a pop icon. She also became a business tycoon, since Hannah Montana generated millions in merchandising deals from Disney and Walmart, including toys, clothing, and school supplies-even though she proclaims she was the "least paid" actor on the show, it's widely believed that she has profited handsomely from its swag. In addition, she has inked endorsement deals with upscale brands like Gucci and is an investor in FanMade, which creates "superfan experiences," as well as Hers, the feminine product manufacturer. Don't miss the move: Subscribe to TheStreet's free daily newsletter Her newest album, "Something Beautiful," is described by Cyrus as an experimental pop album that explores themes of healing and self-discovery and is set to be released on Friday, May 30, 2025. Comparing it to Pink Floyd's "The Wall," Cyrus also created and directed a visual album by the same name, which will premiere on June 6, 2025, at the Tribeca Film Festival. The film will be released to the general public in cinemas nationwide for one night only, on June 12, 2025. So, what's her net worth nine albums into her musical career? According to online sources, like Celebrity Net Worth, Miley Cyrus has an estimated net worth of $160 million in 2025. Her music career is responsible for the majority of her wealth, as the Recording Industry Association of America (RIAA) reports that she earned over $62 million from digital downloads alone. In fact, $14 million of her fortune comes from just one song-her catchy 2009 hit "Party in the USA," which Cyrus recorded when she was just 16 years old. And while Cyrus has hit the road extensively through the years, she revealed that she has opted out of a traditional world tour for her "Something Beautiful" album because she suffers from Reinke's edema, a rare swelling disorder that affects the vocal chords. Instead of connecting with her live at a concert, Cyrus encourages fans to see her visual film while they have the chance. Miley Cyrus' concert tours Miley Cyrus and Taylor Swift have been friends for decades-Cyrus even performed "Fifteen" with Swift at the 2009 Grammys, while Swift made a cameo in "Hannah Montana: The Movie;" however, Swift far exceeds Cyrus when it comes to cash flow. According to Forbes, Swift's blockbuster "Eras Tour" made her a billionaire, and she currently has a net worth of $1.6 billion. Coincidentally, Cyrus is also friends with Selena Gomez, and even though they both dated Nick Jones way back in the day, they never actually feuded. The Rare Beauty mogul also surpasses Cyrus' wealth with an estimated $1.3 billion in the bank-but that won't stop them from going out together on their planned "double date." Destiny Hope Cyrus was born on November 23, 1992 in Franklin, Tennessee. Her father, Billy Ray Cyrus, was a popular country singer; her mother, Tish, would become her manager. Her parents named her in the hopes she would achieve great things, but because she smiled a lot as a baby, she was quickly nicknamed "Smiley." That got shortened to "Miley," and in 2008, she legally changed her name to Miley Ray Cyrus. Her godmother and frequent collaborator is country legend Dolly Parton. Cyrus has two siblings, brother Braison and sister Noah, along with three step-siblings from her parents' previous relationships: Brandi, Trace, and Christopher. Related: Taylor Swift's net worth: How the world's richest female musician built her fortune In 2001, after Billy Ray took his daughter to see a stage performance of "Mamma Mia!," young Miley knew that acting was her calling. Being the child of an established celebrity definitely had its benefits, and Cyrus' first acting gig was in her Dad's 2003 TV series "Doc," where she played the role of Kylie. In 2003, Cyrus received her first acting credit, as Young Ruthie in the Tim Burton film, "Big Fish." In 2006, she auditioned for the part of the best friend in the new Disney Channel series "Hannah Montana," a comedy about an everyday girl who lives a double life as a pop star. But casting directors were so impressed with her comedic skills, they invited her back to audition for the starring role. She nailed the part; the show premiered to spectacular ratings, and it quickly became the highest-rated series on basic cable. Cyrus reportedly earned just $15,000 per episode on "Hannah Montana" which, taken over the show's six-year run, would add up to $2.7 million; however, merchandising deals can add a significant revenue stream to a celebrity's fortune, with some contracts amounting to between 5% and 30% of all net revenue. In Cyrus' case, that would have easily doubled or tripled the young star's wealth. Cyrus herself added even more income to her bottom line by taking her show on the road-literally. In the summer of 2006, she went on tour with the Cheetah Girls as Hannah Montana, performing songs from the show's first season. By doing so, she had officially launched her music career.

In 2009, she starred in "Hannah Montana: The Movie," where her namesake trades her celebrity life for the simplicity of her hometown in Crowley Corners, Tennessee. The film made over $155 million at the box office, and its soundtrack, which debuted at #1 on the Billboard 200, included hits like "Hoedown Throwdown" and "The Climb." In 2010, Cyrus starred in the film adaptation of Nicholas Sparks' bestselling novel, "The Last Song." Cyrus played Ronnie, a rebellious 17-year-old who spends the summer with her estranged father, played by Greg Kinnear, and in the process falls in love with a popular volleyball player, Will Blakelee, played by Liam Hemsworth. The two would begin a real-life, off/on romance that would last for more than a decade, with the pair marrying in December 2018 but ultimately filing for divorce a little more than one year later, in August 2019. "The Last Song" earned $89 million at the box office, and Cyrus has had a string of other acting roles since, both on film and in TV. These include crossover appearances in "The Suite Life of Zack & Cody" and "The Wizards of Waverly Place," and on the hit comedy "Two and a Half Men," although none of her subsequent roles approached the level of success she found as Hannah Montana.

She has earned a total of three Grammy awards: Two for "Flowers," which included the 2023 Record of the Year award, and one for ""II Most Wanted" with Beyoncé, which earned them the Grammy for Best Country Duo/Group Performance in 2024. Here's a look at Miley Cyrus' discography: "Meet Miley Cyrus" (2007) This double album, released by Walt Disney Records, was the soundtrack to the second season of "Hannah Montana." The second disc served as Cyrus' debut album. It contained hits like "Nobody's Perfect" and "Make Some Noise," and debuted at #1 on the Billboard 200. "Breakout" (2008) Cyrus' first "solo" effort (without her alter ego, Hannah Montana), focused on coming of age themes as well as her first relationships-and breakups. Cyrus wrote eight of the 13 songs on the album, which again hit #1 on the Billboard 200. "Can't Be Tamed" (2010) Focusing on more mature themes and dance/pop sounds inspired in part by Lady Gaga, Cyrus' third studio album wasn't as commercially successful as her first two efforts, and it sold just 350,000 copies in the U.S. But with this album, Cyrus had begun to break free of her squeaky clean image. "Bangerz" (2013) Taking a hiatus from her acting career to focus on her 2013 album, "Bangerz," also marked a turning point in Cyrus' musical career: She wrote and performed "Wrecking Ball," a none-too-subtle ode to defying expectations. That song became her first #1 hit, and its provocative video, which featured the performer swinging naked on a piece of demolition equipment, amassed over 100 million views on Vevo. The record also featured cameos by Britney Spears, Big Sean, Future, and Ludacris, to name a few. "Miley Cyrus & Her Dead Petz" (2015) Considered an experimental album, Cyrus' next effort was co-produced by The Flaming Lips, whom she would later tour with on the Milky Milky Milk Tour. Cyrus said the album was inspired by the tragic death of her beloved dog, Floyd, who was killed by coyotes while she was away on her "Bangerz Tour." Cyrus released the album for free online streaming when she hosted the 2015 MTV Video Music Awards. Later that year, she embarked on a brief, eight-stop concert tour in support of the album. "Younger Now" (2017) A more commercial follow-up to "Bangerz" than "Miley Cyrus & Her Dead Petz," Cyrus' next album featured a return to her country roots and included performances from her godmother, Dolly Parton. With hits such as "Malibu" and "Younger Now," Cyrus attempted to tone down her provocative persona. After the album's release, Cyrus took a three-year hiatus from recording. She instead embarked on a two-season stint as a coach on "The Voice," where she reportedly earned $26 million. "Plastic Hearts" (2020) Marking another sonic evolution, this album featured an emphasis on rock, pop, and even synth-pop beats and was rumored to be about the lead-up to her divorce from Hemsworth. The album also featured guest vocals by Dua Lipa, Joan Jett, and Stevie Nicks. It debuted at #1 on the Billboard 200 and had three hit singles: "Midnight Sky," "Prisoner," and "Angels Like You." According to Spotify, "Plastic Hearts" amassed more than three billion views on Spotify, making it the most-streamed rock album of the decade to date. Songs about Liam Hemsworth Because fans always ask, critics have decoded several songs that make reference to Cyrus' on-again, off-again lover, from "Wrecking Ball," to "Flowers," "WTF Do I Know," "Miss You So Much," "Muddy Feet," "Malibu," "She's Not Him," "Slide Away," "Angels Like You," and "The Most." "Endless Summer Vacation" (2023) The seminal song on Cyrus' eighth album, "Flowers," spent eight weeks atop the Billboard charts. Known as a song of "female empowerment," its lyrics expressed Cyrus' acceptance of freedom after realizing she never needed to rely on a lover to feel complete in the first place. "Flowers" was the most-streamed single of 2023, amassing 2.7 billion streams according to the IFPI, which made it Cyrus' biggest hit to date. "Endless Summer Vacation" was nominated for two Grammys, and received one, for Album of the Year. Cyrus has detailed her struggles with drugs and alcohol through her music; currently, she says she is sober. She quit smoking marijuana in 2017 but relapsed in 2020 during the COVID-19 pandemic; she revealed she was able to quit pot again, as well as alcohol, later that year. Cyrus has had a contentious family life; her parents, Billy Ray and Tish, divorced in 2022 and each found new partners, although Billy Ray's relationship with his children seemingly fractured in the process. When Billy Ray announced his engagement to Firerose, Miley unfollowed him on Instagram (the two later divorced). Cyrus told her mother she was attracted to women in 2014; in a 2015 interview with Time Magazine, she identified as gender fluid. She has dated both men and women, including Nick Jonas, Patrick Schwarzenegger, Stella Maxwell and Kaitlynn Carter. Currently she is in a relationship with Maxx Morando, who produced her 2023 album "Endless Summer Vacation." They began dating in 2021. Cyrus and Liam Hemsworth met on the set of "The Last Song" in 2009. They were engaged from 2012-2013. However, they broke it off and broke up, only to rekindle their romance again in 2016. The couple was married in a private ceremony at their Nashville home on December 23, 2018. However, Hemsworth filed for divorce in August 2019, citing "irreconcilable differences," and their divorce was finalized on January 28, 2020. According to Architectural Digest, Cyrus bought and sold several properties in the Nashville and Los Angeles areas over the years. She still owns the "starter home" she purchased in Studio City, Los Angeles, in 2011. The $3.9 million property features five bedrooms and seven bathrooms and indoor-outdoor living with a midcentury-modern design. Outside, there's a saltwater pool and yoga studio. She also currently owns a $7.9 million Mediterranean mansion in Malibu. It's set at the end of a long driveway and boasts pristine views of the Pacific Ocean as well as the neighboring canyons and mountains. It has 6,568 square feet of living space as well as an open floor plan and clean, modern design. It's unlikely she will be taking a wrecking ball to it anytime soon.

Faces of beauty
GRAMMY-WINNING pop singer Miley Cyrus's ninth studio album Something Beautiful drops tomorrow. In its 13 tracks, the visual album – which will have an accompanying film releasing in theatres internationally on June 27 – tackles existential themes, centring on healing from trauma and finding beauty in the darkest moments of life. In an interview, Miley described the body of work as 'hypnotising and glamorous', and credited British rock band Pink Floyd's album and accompanying horror-surrealist film The Wall as inspiration. 'My idea was making The Wall, but with a better wardrobe and more glamorous and filled with pop culture,' she said, adding that on the fashion side, the late designer Thierry Mugler's 1995 couture show shaped the record's mood board and aesthetic. She is seen wearing an archival 1997 piece by him on the album cover. The pop sensation also revealed that the film is her way of presenting something to the fans that is an alternative to embarking on a tour. She added that it is difficult to do as she suffers from Reinke's edema, a rare condition of swollen vocal cords which she underwent surgery for in 2019. She described the condition as a part of her unique anatomy, explaining that she would rather try preserving her singing voice – which is distinguishable for its deepness and raspy sound – than to risk waking up from undergoing another operation sounding different. 'The chance of waking up from a surgery and not sounding like myself is a probability,' Miley said. 'I have this very large polyp on my vocal cord, which is giving me a lot of the tone and the texture that has made me who I am, but it's extremely difficult to perform with because it's like running a marathon with ankle weights on,' she added. The 32-year-old superstar emerged as a teen idol by playing the lead role in the Disney Channel musical series Hannah Montana (2006 to 2011), which kick-started her singing career and paved the way for her to grow into a successful artist as an adult. She won her first two Grammy awards last year for the hit song Flowers in the Record Of The Year and Best Pop Solo Performance categories, and bagged her third earlier this year for her feature on the Beyoncé song II Most Wanted in the Best Country Duo/Group Performance segment.
