Pop star Miley Cyrus takes inspiration from iconic concept album The Wall by Pink Floyd for its next project, planned for 2025, adding a glamorous and modern touch.
An unexpected inspiration
During an interview with Harper’s BazaarMiley Cyrus revealed that her next album, expected in 2025, draws its inspiration from The Wall by Pink Floyd. The artist, known for her ability to push the boundaries of pop, explains: “It’s inspired by Pink Floyd’s The Wall…I first saw the film as a teenager. I really played the game: I rented a limo, smoked weed and wore a 70s fur coat. We were really into it.”
This first encounter with the work of Pink Floyd had a profound impact on the singer, prompting her today to create a concept album that she describes as “an attempt to heal a sick culture through music.”

“A more glamorous version of The Wall”
Cyrus does not hide his ambition to reinterpret the idea behind The Wall while bringing his own style: “My idea is to recreate The Wall, but with a better, more glamorous wardrobe, and pepper it with pop culture references,” she confides.
“I would like to be a kind of [drogue] psychedelic [sous forme] human[e] for people. I don't want anyone to try to copy me or take inspiration from me. I want to influence the frequencies of their body to make them vibrate stronger.”
