Miley Cyrus has been following her muse. Because at least her 2013 reinvention "Bangerz" she tried a variety of characters and styles, from Du Jour Hip-Hop to gorgeous rock and glittering psychedelicity, often in between. If anything, Cyrus can never be blamed for the conflict. Her creativity is always complete, even if it violates tangible properties.

This is one of the reasons why Cyrus' album continues to cause conspiracy. Some people beat, some don't. "Endless Summer Vacation" in 2023, one of her most direct and direct albums, playing it there directly paid off. The main single "Flowers" is the ubiquitous smash, the Grammy Record of the Year's Championship, reminds people that when Cyrus wants a single, she knows how to bake it.

Her ninth album, “It’s beautiful,” is not, at least not because she tries to attract a popular audience. The sprawling record, with its delicate arrangement and lengthy songs, is not a return to form, or even a critical rejection that fits in the art like 2015's "Miley Cyrus and Her Dead Peter." Instead, “The Beautiful Things” is an elevated experiment – ​​a single without obvious – a project bursts into extreme ideas while exploring the texture and voice of the artists she inspired.

Most of the online discourse in the pop world focuses on the album’s hot potential, or lack of the album’s potential. She acknowledged this earlier this week in a private preview of “Beautiful” at the private preview of Marmont Castle in Los Angeles: “My next album will become very experimental, so please get along with it,” she said. The project almost encourages polarized reactions, and in the face of future career success, pop stars can only hope to achieve expectations.

In fact, “beautiful stuff” is equally exciting and challenging. Cyrus makes songs linger without losing direction, deconstructing and rebuilding the idea of ​​how pop songs should be shaped. Approximate values ​​closest to traditional popular patterns (the strongest popular patterns in the record) - errors in bombs and ballads. For example, “More Loss” is the most realistic formation, which is an instant count on Cyrus’ heartbreak wall, while the title tracks range from the pillars scattered by the soul to the face-to-face, inconsistent explosion.

Much of the rest of the album is genre case study with the sticky hook of “Endless Summer”. It's easy to play the reference (on the Fleetwood Mac on "Easy Lover", Giorgio Moroder on "Celebrity Journey", and even the Lady Gaga of "Reborn"), but Cyrus manages to use it as a base force. Most importantly, one thing that these songs have in common is that they are all specialized sheas different as possible, threading without a narrative.

Cyrus himself challenged it during the album’s launch, likening it to Pink Floyd’s epic work The Wall and described its accompanying film as a “pop opera.” These sublime names are not entirely certain - the film itself is a series of gorgeous, high-fashioned music videos, although they do illustrate her ambitions. “The Beautiful Stuff” invites listeners to drift on the touch points of her creative compass without feeling forced. She seamlessly blends Donna Summer Glam and appears in an unforgettable ghost as lead singer Brittany Howard. Naomi Campbell supports her assassin as "Every Girl You Love"; and effortlessly evokes Aba's Swedish pop music in "Apocalypse".

For casual listeners, finding an album may be its biggest obstacle. The tempting folk fare of the 70s in the first half of the record contrasts with the latter’s dance floor jump, and few hooks are as tough as some of her previous works. But it lacks accessibility and makes up for the scope. "The Beautiful Stuff" is a record that tries to prove that Cyrus can do it in a way you wouldn't expect or even want. She was so convincing that she did this with confidence and didn’t seem to condemn it as much as her past successes.

Cyrus is a rare cast pop star whose experimentalism is usually her star power. The audience returns to Cyrus because she doesn't follow the template or play the game, like you should. So she is one of the few pop girls who will capture the zeitgeist even without wide appeal. "The beautiful stuff" is not for everyone; in the castle, she describes it as "just an appetizer." Actually, this is Cyrus' record, Cyrus is a complex and snapshot of her identity and moving forward.
