Miley Cyrus Stuns Fans with Surprise Album Something Beautiful and Visual Pop Opera
The former Disney star blends music and cinema in a bold new chapter
May 30, 2025 | Los Angeles, CA — Miley Cyrus has done it again. In true pop icon fashion, the 31-year-old singer shocked fans with the unexpected release of her ninth studio album, Something Beautiful — and it’s not just an album. It’s a fully realized musical film too.
A New Era of Miley
The album, co-produced by Shawn Everett, marks a reflective and mature evolution in Cyrus’s sound, diving into themes like healing, identity, and emotional rebirth. Critics are already praising it as her most artistically cohesive project since Plastic Hearts.
Songs like “A Little Bit of Light” and “All the Ways I Broke” showcase Cyrus’s vocal strength and lyrical vulnerability, setting this project apart from her more pop-forward predecessors.
From Audio to Visual: The Tribeca Premiere
Adding to the surprise, Miley also announced the theatrical debut of Something Beautiful: The Film, a visual companion to the album described as a “pop opera meets personal documentary.” Directed by Cyrus, Jacob Bixenman, and Brendan Walter, the movie will premiere at the Tribeca Festival on June 6 before hitting theaters later this month.
The film explores her rise to fame, heartbreaks, and the inner turbulence of living in the public eye — all interlaced with new music.
