Miley Cyrus, the captivating face of Gucci’s Flora franchise since 2021, opens up about her profound connection to passion, creativity, and her latest “visual album,” Something Beautiful, per dazeddigital.com. The 32-year-old pop powerhouse, recently honoured with a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame, shares insights into her evolving artistry and the inspiration behind her newest scent and sound.
For Cyrus, bliss is found in life’s simple pleasures, notably a first kiss and falling in love. This sentiment perfectly aligns with Gucci Flora Gorgeous Gardenia Eau de Parfum Intense, a fragrance she describes as enhancing her inherent “passion and desire.” The campaign, set against the stunning Los Angeles sunset, saw Cyrus frolicking near the iconic Hollywood sign – a familiar landscape for the singer who considers LA her lifelong home. Her recent Walk of Fame induction, she notes, is “a dream come true.”
Something Beautiful, Cyrus’s new visual album, delves deeper into her artistic vision. She reveals a synesthetic approach to music, stating, “I have always really seen music… it’s a true listening which isn’t done with the ears or the mind but from the heart.”
Scent, too, plays a crucial role in her creative process, setting the “vibe” for her collaborators. Inspired by concept records like Pink Floyd’s The Wall, Cyrus views her music as a “concoction or cocktail of anything that’s ever inspired us,” with memories transforming into original creations. Describing Something Beautiful as her “gayest yet,” Cyrus emphasises authenticity blended with fantasy, creating an exciting “alter ego or a drag queen.” If the Gucci fragrance were a song, she says, it would be “Every Girl You’ve Ever Loved” – a track about embracing every facet of oneself and being “completely found and not lost.”
