Miley Cyrus has shared “Prelude,” the first single from new album Something Beautiful. The spoken-word, electronic symphony comes with a suitably cinematic visual directed by Cyrus, Jacob Bixenman, and Brendan Walter, with cinematography by Benoît Debie. Cyrus and Shawn Everett—the album’s executive-producers—are credited with the song’s production alongside Michael Pollack, Jonathan Rado, and Maxx Morando. Check out the video, featuring Cyrus in archival Thierry Mugler couture, below.
Cyrus’ follow-up to 2023’s Endless Summer Vacation arrives May 30 via Columbia. She has compared the record to Pink Floyd’s The Wall, “but with a better wardrobe and more glamorous and filled with pop culture.”
