Pop icon Miley Cyrus has revealed that her upcoming album - due for release in 2025 - was inspired by an unlikely source.

"It was inspired by Pink Floyd's The Wall," Cyrus tells Harper's Bazaar, revealing that she originally saw the The Wall movie as a teenager, cosplaying for the screening by renting a limo, smoking weed and wearing a 70s-style fur coat. "We really leaned in," she says.

The film left its mark, and now Cyrus, who describes her upcoming collection as "a concept album that's an attempt to medicate somewhat of a sick culture through music," is leaning in further still.

"My idea was making The Wall, but with a better wardrobe and more glamourous and filled with pop culture," she says. "I would like to be a human psychedelic for people. I don't want anyone trying to be like me or imitate me or even be inspired by me. I want to impact frequencies in your body that make you vibrate at a different level."
