It’s bittersweet saying goodbye to a year that has been so good to me, but I am looking forward to starting over again. This is one of my favorite parts of not just the creative process but the way life has chosen to teach me.

Now, she’s preparing to release a brand new LP, writing on X: “HAPPY HOLIDAYS NEW YEAR! It’s bittersweet saying goodbye to a year that has been so good to me, but I am looking forward to starting over again.
“This is one of my favorite parts of not just the creative process but the way life has chosen to teach me. In everything I do I like to go ALL the way. Give it ALL I’ve got. ALL for it to come to an end, move on and start anew.
“At times it can be a heartbreaking process but I’ve always known the pieces to come back together and create something beautiful. Thank you to everyone who has been apart of making this year so special. Sincerely, Miley.”
In a recent interview, the We Can’t Stop hitmaker opened up on the follow-up to 2023’s ‘Endless Summer Vacation’ – titled ‘Something Beautiful’ – and its visual counterpart.
Explaining the inspiration behind the project and how she first saw Pink Floyd‘s ‘The Wall’ as a teenager with one of her brothers and a close friend, while smoking cannabis and wearing 1970s-style fur coats, she shared: “We really leaned in. And so I have this heart-first attachment to it. My idea was making The Wall, but with a better wardrobe and more glamorous and filled with pop culture.”
The album, she says, is “hypnotising and glamorous”, elaborating: “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.”
Discussing the visual element, which the Used To Be Young hitmaker described as “driving the sound, she added: “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.”
