Earlier this year Miley Cyrus shared 'Something Beautiful' with the world, her new album that serves as a complete experience, a "purposeful" statement of love and devotion that she wants to share as an artist. After taking a much needed rest away, the "Easy Lover" singer is back continuing to spread the gospel of her epic new effort, joining us in our Los Angeles studios for an Audacy Check In with Bru.

"I really am very selective about what I choose to do and be a part of," admits Miley, who not only created her new album, 'Something Beautiful,' but also a "pop opera" visual album that is now streaming on Disney+ and Hulu. "Everything that I'm doing is honestly filled with a lot of meaning and joy, and I always think something has to either be really joyful, it has to be fun, it has to be something that I look forward to, or it has to be something that's meaningful that might be something that's, whether it's a full circle moment, something that's come to fruition from manifestation, so I kind of balance those."

Joyous as it may be, that amount of work might feel like a lot to some, but it's been advice from a few famous friends that Miley keeps in mind to make sure she is never out of the moment.

"Everything was meant to be individualized and kind of isolated just to make sure every song was really honored," she says of the visual album. "I didn't want to be thinking about the next one. Actually one time I was doing a show and me and Joan Jett were both playing the show and I was shooting a music video at the same time for another song. She said, 'you never do something like that because you're taking away from the audience by not being in the moment with the one song that you're in now,' and I always took that as something that I think goes for everything. So when I was making this movie, I kept thinking I don't want to think about the next song while I'm in with the song before it. I wanted to really honor each song for what it was meant to be and then get clever at the end of how we're going to connect everything."

"Another person that does that really genius is Pharrell," exclaims Miley. "One time I had a session with him and he was doing 10 things at the same day, but not at the same time."

"He said, 'you know, I could tell you looked like I wasn't gonna be able to focus on you, but whatever I'm doing in that moment is all that I'm doing.' So I may today have 10 things, my hands in 10 different pots, but I'm only cooking with 1 item at a time."

'Something Beautiful' follows the highly-praised 'Endless Summer Vacation' from Cyrus, which scored a nomination for 'Album of the Year' at the GRAMMY Awards and took home the trophy for 'Record of the Year.' "They're actually so uniquely different and I think that's because they're at such different kind of pivotal places in my life and can't have one without the other," Miley reveals. "'ESV' was totally a bridge to 'Something Beautiful,' but 'ESV' was kind of curated and created to be something that I could do, and almost have the whole project from at a distance because I needed that vacation so deeply and desperately that I wanted to still put out the album that I made, but I wasn't actually going to physically go out there, and as we spoke about today, kind of carry around this project."

"I had already known I wanted an ESV, but 'Flowers' really made it possible that it could carry the album around the world, so I didn't have to."

"With this one I'm invested in a more kind of personal way of actually going out and sitting at stations and pressing play and seeing the audience and doing shows, just kind of investing in what it takes to really convey the truth that was, this is totally a body of work that is just totally built on love and devotion, dedication and passion, and really it does feel like it's one of the more purposeful records that I've ever gotten to make."
