Miley Cyrus‘ upcoming ninth album may be her most ambitious yet. And that’s because “Something Beautiful” is more than just a new studio album, which releases on May 30th via Columbia Records. It’s also a visual album, with an accompanying pop opera musical film directed by Cyrus herself.
That’s right, “Something Beautiful” is a movie, too, and it will have its world premiere next month at the Tribeca Film Festival before special one-night-only theater screenings a week later. Here’s an official synopsis for “Something Beautiful,” courtesy of Trafalgar Releasing:
Something Beautiful is a one-of-a-kind pop opera fueled by fantasy, featuring thirteen original new songs from the visual album, Something Beautiful by Miley Cyrus. Exclusively mixed by Alan Meyerson for theatrical release.
Cyrus makes her feature directorial debut with “Something Beautiful,” as she co-directs the film with Jacob Bixenman and Brendan Walter. She also co-produces the film with “Mandy” director Panos Cosmatos.
“Something Beautiful is my dream project come true—fashion, film, and original music coexisting in harmony,” Cyrus said in a statement. “My co-creators are all geniuses in their own right: from the masters of sound, Shawn Everett and Alan Meyerson, to one of cinema’s most unique directors, Panos Cosmatos serving as a producer. Each collaborator has used their expertise to make this fantasy a reality.”
“Something Beautiful” has its world premiere at the 2025 Tribeca Film Festival on June 6. The film then hits North American theaters with special one-night-only screenings on June 12, with international screenings scheduled for June 27. Tickets for screenings go on sale today, and fans can sign up now for updates. Watch the trailer for “Something Beautiful” below.
