Pop icon Miley Cyrus has shared that her upcoming ninth studio album, Something Beautiful, is set to be her ‘gayest’ yet.
Former (like, really former) Disney Channel star Miley Cyrus is back, baby, with her ninth studio album, Something Beautiful, and accompanying visuals set to be released in full 30 May.
The first full musical instalment from Cyrus after 2023’s mega-hit Endless Summer Vacation, which was led by omnipresent maybe-Liam-Hemsworth-diss-track “Flowers”, Something Beautiful has high expectations to meet – but according to the pop star herself, we needn’t worry for one specific reason.
“On a scale of, I think, one to gay, how gay is this album?” Cyrus asked during a recent Spotify event (via Billboard). “It’s not only my best album, but also my gayest.”
The star has long been an ally to and member of the LGBTQ+ community, consistently platforming queer artists, and ‘coming out’ as pansexual in a Variety article in 2016.
“My whole life, I didn’t understand my own gender and my own sexuality,” she told the publication. “I always hated the word ‘bisexual,’ because that’s even putting me in a box. I don’t ever think about someone being a boy or someone being a girl.
“My eyes started opening in the fifth or sixth grade. My first relationship in my life was with a chick. I grew up in a very religious Southern family. The universe has always given me the power to know I’ll be OK.”
Cyrus has already released the title track from the album and follow up single “End of the World”. Something Beautiful will feature 13 songs, and executive produced by the singer and frequent collaborator Shawn Everett.
Something Beautiful‘s album cover pictures Cyrus’s silhouette adorned with extra-terrestrial archival 1997 Thierry Mugler and was captured by fashion photographer Glen Luchford.
The “Wrecking Ball” singer previously told Harper’s Bazaar that her new album is inspired by Pink Floyd’s The Wall, “but with a better wardrobe and more glamorous and filled with pop culture.”
The next Miley Cyrus single, “More to Lose”, will be released 9 May.
Something Beautiful by Miley Cyrus will be released 30 May.
