This week on Live From Mars, I’m joined by my good friend (and resident guy-who-screams-songs-in-the-car) Nick Palmai to finally give Miley Cyrus’ Something Beautiful the deep dive it deserved. We’re talking about why this album became my favorite of 2025, why it got such a mixed reception, and how a messy rollout and delayed visual release may have kept people from fully getting what Miley built here.
What we cover in this episode Why Something Beautiful is one of the most underrated pop albums of 2025 Our IRL story: meeting at the Something Beautiful premiere and watching the film before the album dropped The rollout choices that helped and hurt the album (and why “End of the World” deserved way more) Why the project feels so cinematic, loud, and experimental compared to Endless Summer Vacation Best Worst Fave: our picks for the best song, weakest track, and personal favorites (yes, “Golden Burning Sun” stans rise)
