Miley Cyrus is back with more of Something Beautiful.
As promised in a social post earlier in the week, the veteran pop singer has dropped the deluxe edition, featuring the original album’s 13 songs, plus two new tracks featuring rock icons.
The first of those is a number Cyrus has been teasing for several weeks, “Secrets,” a sweeping ballad featuring former Fleetwood Mac bandmates drummer Mick Fleetwood and guitarist/singer Lindsey Buckingham.
The now 15-track expanded LP closes with a collaboration featuring David Byrne, called “Lockdown.”
It’s not the first time Cyrus and Byrne have made music together. The “Wrecking Ball” singer swung onto the stage with the Talking Heads legend in 2022 for her NBC New Year’s Eve special, when they performed hit a duet on David Bowie’s “Let’s Dance” as well as Byrne’s “Everybody’s Coming To My House.”
Cyrus’ ninth studio album, Something Beautiful arrived in May and includes collaborations with members of the bands Alvvays, Model/Actriz, the War on Drugs, as well as Danielle Haim, Flea, model Naomi Campbell and Brittany Howard. The album was accompanied by a musical film written and co-directed by Cyrus that premiered at this year’s Tribeca Festival and then played in theaters for one-night-only in June before moving to streaming on Hulu.
Something Beautiful peaked at No. 4 on the Billboard 200, and is one of Cyrus’ 15 top 10 appearances on the albums chart, a tally that includes five leaders. She has led the Billboard Hot 100 on two occasions, with 2013’s “Wrecking Ball” (for three weeks) and 2023’s “Flowers” (for eight weeks).
The album was followed with a short film of the same name. After debuting at Tribeca Film Festival, Something Beautiful was shown as a one-night-only screening across North American theaters on June 12 and internationally on June 27.
Cyrus attended a listening event for fans in Los Angeles earlier this year, where she remarked: “I love making music with everybody on this carpet – I don’t do stages now,” a nod to news that she has no desire to tour again.
