Noah Cyrus processes brave family relationships with the new country album

Music and family are inseparable for Noah Cyrus. The daughter of Billy Ray and the sister of Miley, Noah Cyrus, 25, grew up in and around the music industry, began her own musical experiments as a teenager and later found her foot as an artist with the publication of her debut album in full length, the debut album in full length The most difficult part.

Last week Cyrus released the album's follow-up, The Streik and surprising I want my loved ones to go with me. The LP produced by Cyrus, Mike Crossey and PJ Harding is clear and tacitly confident and offers the clearest portrait of Cyrus as an artist and person. In terms of sound, Cyrus leans into dreamy folk and indie sound landscapes and woves tastefully in threads of country, pop and rock, without undergoing the music.

Textally, the LP Cyrus shows' natural ability as a narrative songwriter because it closes with a particularly turbulent period of its life with hard -earned vulnerability and an ear for poetic peace. The music and Cyrus' performance have a calm self -confidence, which attributes to the entry into a new phase of their lives.

“The recording that you hear comes from an adult woman,” says Cyrus and gets in Rab The day of publication of the record. “I was 21 years old when we published The most difficult part. I am now 25 and have the feeling that there is a significant difference. In these three years I recorded a lot of growth and it was important to me to show this growth within the record. ”

The music also contextualizes Cyrus in its famous family. Her brother Braison, also a musician, wrote the collaboration of the Fleet Foxes “not everything on me”, a search and subtle ballad, which indicates Noah's tendency to take on the problems of her loved ones. Billy Ray's influence can be heard on “with you”, a sweet and simple love song that happens to be the first song that the superstar has ever written. And Cyrus' grandfather's paternal side, Ron Cyrus, recites a hymn that his own father, Eldon Lindsey Cyrus, wrote at the end of the track “Apple Tree”. Cyrus called the album after this hymn, which the line “I want my loved ones to go with me” and published the record on the birthday of her grandfather.

“The album, whether it is super clear or not, is quite conceptual,” says Cyrus. “There are many characters. They refer to each other and refer to different parts of my life and different points in my life, be it my great -grandfather or my father or mother or even my fiance or my brother who writes a song.

These family connections also go beyond the music recorded. On the day after the album was released, Cyrus celebrated her big Opry debut and appeared on the same holy stage in which she stood as a child. The full nature of the moment was not lost to Cyrus, which described the opportunity as “honor and a privilege”.

“I grew up with my father when I played Opry,” she says. “Like the album of this nostalgic feeling, which brings them back to a feeling of the family. For me, it will be really cool to return there as an adult. And for the first time as an adult, I am on stage, which is such a big moment in the career of an artist.”

While her father's influence is still clearly strong, Cyrus is an insatiable listener with a far -reaching appetite. Accordingly, I want my loved ones to go with me offers a versatile list of guest artists who gives a greater insight into the kind of music that Cyrus' art shaped.

Fleet Foxes front man Robin Pecknold brings his trademark pastoral croon to “not give everything to me”. The rapid rapid, emerging country in the country, which helps the mood on “Way of the World”, a deceptively optimistic melody about the life cycle of grief. Blake Shelton is from Cyrus' land over “New Country” and bridges generation gaps. And maybe the most surprising employee is the cult singer songwriter Bill Callahan, who offers its rich, reedic baritone Cyrus it “the voice of God”.

“It is a completely different and kind of human collection of people, isn't it?” she says. “Like Noah Cyrus with Blake Shelton, Ella Langley, Bill Callahan and Robin Pecknold? It is a group that they would not have put together. It is as if they had gone to the high school cafeteria and selected people from all different tables. I think that makes it really cool.”

I want my loved ones to go with me Marked Cyrus' for the first time in the chair of a producer when she gave the LP together with trustworthy employees Crossey and Harding. She made the best of her role to ensure the realization of her vision and use the crash course in album creation by actively participating in every phase of the process. As a result, the album is coherent and has a strong view, with Cyrus' perfectionist tendencies appearing in apparently throwing details that actually serve as the adhesive of the project.

“” Apfelbaum “and” man in the field “, they literally have a connection in their sound,” says Cyrus. “At the end of the” Apple Tree “there is reverb, which carries in” Man Man The Play “from start to finish. If you remove everything apart from this part, you would only hear a sum, a note, until the entire song.

The album has a ghostly, almost looking at the atmosphere, especially when Cyrus addresses more personal affairs in its texts. The ghost of the very public divorce of her parents could appear on the album, but instead takes into the broader research of love and grief.

“Something that I had to learn in the past two to three years is that, no matter where they go,” she says. “Learning to be there for yourself is really difficult … but I don't look at the recording and the topics related to the record from the inside. I have the feeling that I look from the other side, where I am so clear where I talk about these really difficult topics that were really painful at the time. But it is like:” All this comes from an understanding. “

There is also a lot of ease on the album, as on the shimmering opening track “I Saw the Mountains”, which Cyrus says that she was inspired by her burgeoning relationship with her today's fiance, the German fashion designer Pinkus. She announces that her relationship gave her a feeling of stability while working on the album and healing her emotional wounds.

“This recording comes from the perspective of no Noah Cyrus or what the world thinks that Noah Cyrus is going through or what the world keeps that Noah Cyrus goes through her parents during the very public divorce,” she says. “This is not the perspective of it. The perspective of it is a daughter and a sister and a fiancee and a real woman in this world who goes through the same things that everyone goes through. Mine has just been made known.”

This feeling of peace and closure, the cyrus feels about her personal life, extends to the album itself. Although she tends to tinker and rethink music, she admits that this is the happiest that she has ever felt in the release of a new project.

“I wouldn't change this album,” she says. “I've never felt so much about my work.”

Cyrus says that the LP “Technically not over” according to the final grades of closing “XXX” ring: It has plans for an upcoming Deluxe edition that will arrive at some point in the future. Until then, she hopes that this first music can also bring peace to the audience and is looking forward to the songs take their own lives.

“Everything about the album feels like it is a gift,” she says. “It definitely connected me more with my spirituality. Although I don't have a label for my spirituality, I believe in God and I believe that a gift in this recording was given to me. It will take forever.”
