Miley Cyrus —
Something Beautiful
Rating: 3.7/5 ⭐️
I absolutely love this Miley. Something Beautiful was an album that I found genuinely beautiful from beginning to end. The instrumental vibe is what really pulled me in—the production gives the album this dreamy, atmospheric quality that makes it feel like its own little world.
“Easy Lover” was easily one of my favorites because of how much fun the song is. It’s incredibly catchy and has the kind of energy that immediately gets stuck in your head. “Something Beautiful” was another standout for me. The song feels both beautiful and haunting at the same time, which I think perfectly captures what I loved about this album.
My biggest issue was with the preludes. They didn’t really add much for me and, honestly, became a little annoying after a while. Instead of keeping me more engaged with the album, they actually made it harder for me to stay fully invested in the overall experience.
Despite that, I really loved this album. It has a unique atmosphere, beautiful instrumentation, and a version of Miley that I really enjoyed listening to. There’s something captivating about the way the album sounds, even when it isn’t perfect.

Recent reviews
Something Beautiful is serenity as reinvention. Soft, introspective, and emotionally restrained, the album finds Miley Cyrus fully embracing maturity, calm, and quiet confidence. It’s less about reinvention through shock and more about refinement through self-awareness.
Sonically, the record blends soft pop, soul-pop, folk touches, subtle rock influences, and minimalist production. The arrangements are elegant and airy, built around vocals, warmth, and space. The sound is cohesive and tasteful, though often understated, favoring atmosphere over dynamic contrast.
Lyrically, Something Beautiful explores healing, self-acceptance, nostalgia, emotional closure, love, and personal peace. Miley writes from a place of stability rather than conflict, choosing reflection over intensity. The writing is sincere and mature, though sometimes emotionally cautious.
The 3.5 rating reflects emotional coherence with moderate artistic impact. The album succeeds in mood, elegance, and vocal performance, but its restrained pacing and limited emotional peaks reduce memorability and replay excitement. Several tracks blur together in tone and structure.
Something Beautiful stands as a graceful and refined chapter in Miley Cyrus’ career. Calm, honest, and emotionally grounded, it shines in subtlety, even if it lacks the boldness and fire of her most iconic eras.
