Something Beautiful or Something Else? Miley Cyrus’s Visual Album Is a Psychedelic Gamble

Miley Cyrus is about to release Something Beautiful, a visual album and film that promises to be a pop opera inspired by Pink Floyd’s The Wall. But is it a masterpiece in the making or a self-indulgent spectacle? The clock is ticking.

Cyrus has described the project as “a concept album that’s an attempt to medicate somewhat of a sick culture through music” . The film, directed by Cyrus, Jacob Bixenman, and Brendan Walter, is set to premiere at the Tribeca Film Festival on June 6 and will be released theatrically on June 12 . The trailer features Cyrus in various avant-garde looks, including a crystal headpiece and scenes with her boyfriend, drummer Maxx Morando .

But the question remains: will Something Beautiful live up to its ambitious vision, or will it fall short of expectations? Only time will tell.
