Miley Cyrus Collaborates with Cole Haden for New Album ‘Something Beautiful’
In a significant announcement for fans and followers of the music industry, Miley Cyrus revealed her highly anticipated new album, Something Beautiful, set to be released on May 30. The album’s opening track, “Prelude,” co-written with Cole Haden, frontman of the band Model/Actriz, indicates a promising collaboration that merges artistic visions and showcases both artists’ unique voices.
Collaboration and Creative Process
Cole Haden, discussing his experience working with Cyrus, highlighted the strong rapport they share as both friends and artists. In a statement to Pitchfork, he expressed, “When Miley asked me to write poetry for Something Beautiful, we had already known each other for some time…” This rapport was further developed when Cyrus invited Haden to her studio, where she shared demos and her creative vision for the album. According to Haden, the unfinished versions of the tracks already displayed a cohesive identity, which deeply impacted him and underscored the trust she placed in him throughout the creative process.
Haden emphasized the significance he found in being part of this project, stating, “When I eventually sent my work back to her, it became the opening of the album. I was deeply honored that Miley chose to start her album with words I had written.” This reflects a broader theme in the arts: collaboration fosters a sense of community and interconnectedness, allowing creators to bring new life to their shared experiences.
Production and Anticipation
The production of Something Beautiful features Cyrus and Shawn Everett as executive producers, alongside contributions from Michael Pollack, Jonathan Rado, and Maxx Morando. With such a diverse production team, the album is expected to blend various artistic influences and styles, appealing to both Cyrus’s established fanbase and new listeners alike.
Upcoming Releases in the Music Scene
In addition to Cyrus’s album, Model/Actriz is preparing to release their sophomore project, Pirouette, which launches just before Cyrus’s album on May 2. Their previous album, Dogsbody, received acclaim earlier in 2023, suggesting a promising trajectory as they continue to evolve musically.
Conclusion: Looking Ahead
The impending release of Something Beautiful not only marks a new chapter in Miley Cyrus’s discography but also reinforces the importance of collaboration in the creative process. The intersections of artistry, as demonstrated through Haden’s contributions, not only enhance the final product but also remind listeners of the collective nature of artistic expression.
As anticipation builds for both projects, it will be intriguing to see how these releases shape the narrative within the contemporary music landscape and influence future collaborations among artists. For those eager to experience the artistry of Something Beautiful, the opening track “Prelude” is currently available for listening, drawing listeners into the new energy and vision Cyrus has crafted for her fans.
