Miley Cyrus Follows Her Muse on the Thrilling Yet Challenging New Album ‘Something Beautiful’: Album Review
Miley Cyrus tries on a myriad of styles with her ambitious yet challenging ninth album 'Something Beautiful.'
“More to Lose,” for instance, is truest to form, an instant tally on Cyrus’ wall of heartbreak, while the title track saunters from a soul-speckled strut to a confronting, discordant explosion. She seamlessly mashes up Donna Summer glam with New Order synths on the excellent “Walk of Fame” as guest vocalist Brittany Howard appears as a haunting specter; enlists Naomi Campbell to back her as she plays catwalk assassin on the pulsating “Every Girl You’ve Ever Loved”; and effortlessly evokes the Swedish-pop gleam of ABBA on “End of the World.” The ’70s-evoking folk fare that dots the front half of the record greatly contrasts with the dance floor throb of the latter, and few of the hooks hit as hard as some of her previous work.
