Miley Cyrus's 'Something Beautiful': A 7/10 Review – Almost, But Not Quite, a Masterpiece

Miley Cyrus's "Something Beautiful" Receives Mixed Reviews: G1 Critic Calls it 'Almost Good' Brazil - May 28, 2025 - Miley Cyrus's highly anticipated new album, "Something Beautiful," has been released to mixed reactions. G1's music critic, Carol Prado, gave the album a 7 out of 10 rating, describing it as 'almost good' but ultimately hampered by excessive ambition. Prado's review draws parallels between "Something Beautiful" and Cyrus's 2013 album, "Bangerz," noting that while "Bangerz" was critically panned, it had a certain raw energy that "Something Beautiful" lacks. She points to a duet with Brittany Howard as a highlight, but suggests the album's overall production is too polished, detracting from the music's impact. "The production is so focused on impressing that it overshadows a great duet with Brittany Howard," Prado commented. Despite the mixed review, the album's accompanying film is expected to generate significant buzz. The album's release follows Cyrus's recent Grammy win for "Flowers," but Prado suggests that success may have been a one-hit wonder. The review concludes with a note of encouragement for Cyrus, emphasizing her talent and humanity. "It's not the great album of Miley's career, but it's an era we can follow with affection, like a beloved cousin," Prado stated.
