Miley Cyrus is working on a new album, ‘Something Beautiful’, and it’s inspired by Pink Floyd’s The Wall.‘Something Beautiful’, as Cyrus has discussed in an interview with Harper’s Bazaar, is going to be a visual album, too, and while the singer hasn’t revealed a release date, it’s thought to be coming out next year.She explained that she saw The Wall as a teenager with one of her brothers and a close friend, renting a limousine, smoking cannabis, and wearing 1970s-style fur coats for the experience.

She said: “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.”She described the vibe of her album as “hypnotising and glamorous,” saying: “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, she said that it is “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.
