“We’ve been in this room a lot,” says Brandi Cyrus to a packed and cozy room inside Los Angeles’ famed Chateau Marmont.
Tonight, she’s returned – alongside her mom Tish Cyrus and other family and friends, including actress Anya Taylor-Joy – to celebrate the release of her sister Miley’s forthcoming ninth album, Something Beautiful, out Friday (May 30).
She then closed her 45-minute set with “End of the World.” “We really did grow up together,” Miley said.
And for longtime Miley fans, it’s not only a special place but a sacred one, too.
As Miley mentioned, we’ve all seen the clips online of her performing at the Chateau for a chosen few as she pieced her album together.
Brandi Cyrus remarks, “We’ve been in this room a lot,” referring to a crowded and comfortable space inside the renowned Chateau Marmont in Los Angeles.
Along with her mother Tish Cyrus and other family members and friends, such as actress Anya Taylor-Joy, she has returned tonight to celebrate the release of her sister Miley’s upcoming ninth album, Something Beautiful, which will be available on Friday, May 30.
The superstar himself invited everyone in the room to the TikTok-hosted event for Miley’s superfans. Although the event was advertised as a listening session, they were aware that they would be among the first to hear Miley’s new album. However, they were unaware that she would be performing both new and old songs.
Singing along to previously released songs like “Something Beautiful,” “End of the World,” “More to Lose,” and the highly anticipated “Easy Lover,” Something Beautiful’s remaining six songs (excluding interludes) received a range of first takes. According to one Golden Burning Sun fan, “this is a long one.”. Another person said that “Pretend You’re God” reminded them of “Midnight Sky,” and another asked if they heard saxophones, but their friend was too busy dancing to respond. “Reborn,” the second-to-last track, sounds like it might have been on Lady Gaga’s Mayhem in a different form, and “Give Me Love,” the closing track, made the audience quiet down. “No skips,” a fan exclaimed amid cheers.
Heads slowly craned to the back entrance as the room began to realize the album was over. One fan muttered, “Is she coming?” as they hoped Miley would show up. And at precisely 6:59 p.m. m. Yes, she did.
Accompanied by guitarist Jonathan Rado, pianist Michael Pollack, and drummer Maxx Morando, who co-wrote and/or co-produced the album, Cyrus began with the ballad “More to Lose.”. Then, speaking to the small group, she said: “I found the album when I was playing at Chateau on these invite-only, extremely exclusive nights with only my closest friends and family. Because what are my band and I doing if it can’t keep up with us?
She laughed and went on, “I don’t do stages anymore because I love making music with everyone on this carpet.”. “Watching [the album] change and evolve into this butterfly is really reminiscent of my life and everything I’m going through. “”.
The seductive “Easy Lover” and her Hot 100 No were then performed by Cyrus and her band. One hit song, “Flowers” (“this has been one of the most exciting songs I have gotten to put out into the universe,” she said). Fortunately, Pollack took her warning that “I’m not singing ‘The Climb,’ but I could…'” as permission to start playing the song on the keys as she began to discuss her journey with her fans over the previous 20 years. Fortunately, Miley fell for the ruse and flew through a segment of the well-known song. She then sang “End of the World” to wrap up her 45-minute performance. “.”.
“We truly grew up together,” Miley remarked. “As we mature, we acquire things and let go of things, and I’ve never wanted that to be you. “.”.
Then, hinting that Something Beautiful is “just the appetizer,” she said, “have fun with that. My next album is about to be extremely experimental.”. “”.
As Brandi previously stated about her sister, “I have personally witnessed the passion and precision she puts into every detail, which is why everything she does is so sickening. Her evolution is always a surprise.”. “”.
“We appreciate your presence here with our loved ones and close friends in this wonderful, unique location,” Brandi said in closing.
Additionally, it is not only a sacred location but also a special one for devoted Miley fans. We’ve all seen the videos of Miley performing for a select few at the Chateau while she was assembling her album, as she mentioned. However, her greatest admirers were the ones selected tonight, and it was truly a lovely moment.
