Miley Cyrus's "Something Beautiful" Album Review: A Hit or Miss?

Miley Cyrus's "Something Beautiful" Receives Mixed Reviews: Pop Culture Critic Weighs In Charlotte, NC – Miley Cyrus's highly anticipated album, "Something Beautiful," has been released, generating significant buzz within the pop culture world. The album, released on May 30th, 2025, has garnered a Metascore of 72 based on 8 reviews. However, the reception has been varied, with some critics expressing less enthusiasm than others. Holden Smith, a pop culture news reporter from Charlotte, NC, recently shared his thoughts on the album in a video review. Smith focused on the song "Walk of Fame," stating, "The production is by far the best out of any Miley album ever." He further praised Cyrus's vocals, describing them as "on point" and her overall sound as "stunning." Despite Smith's positive assessment of "Walk of Fame," the album's overall reception has been less than stellar. The album's initial streaming numbers also fell short of expectations. Smith notes in his review, "It garnered 8.5 million streams on the day of release, which to me also was a little below. It's just like people are sleeping on this music and I don't understand why." This discrepancy between individual song praise and the overall album reception highlights the complexity of critical evaluation in the music industry. The album's accompanying film will premiere at the Tribeca Film Festival on June 6th, with a US release on June 12th and an international release on June 27th. Whether the film will boost the album's popularity remains to be seen.
