Miley Cyrus really knows how to get us excited about her new music, and she’s doing it again with her upcoming album, Something Beautiful. Her next LP is coming our way this May, and she described it as a visual album that explores the theme of healing, inspired by Pink Floyd’s The Wall.
Cyrus announced the release of Something Beautiful by sharing the cover art, captured by renowned fashion photographer Glen Luchford. The album cover sees her wearing the archival 1997 Thierry Mugler couture and she said it’s “a striking nod to the album’s bold aesthetic and visual storytelling.”
Pink Floyd’s iconic album The Wall was a major source of inspiration for Cyrus when making Something Beautiful. She discussed her vision for this record in an interview with Harper’s BAZAAR and said it was like “making The Wall, but with a better wardrobe and more glamorous and filled with pop culture.”
Something Beautiful is coming out on May 30, and it will feature 13 new tracks. Cyrus is planning to celebrate its release with an accompanying visual film, set to come out in June. Described as “a unique visual experience fueled by fantasy”, the film will be filled with iconic fashion references, including archival looks by Thierry Mugler, Jean Paul Gaultier, and Alexander McQueen.
