Cyrus reached out to Cosmatos to do just that. While her vision for a Mandy musical didn’t pan out, it turns out that Cosmatos is now involved with her upcoming album, Something Beautiful, slated for release sometime in 2025.

That explains why Cosmatos is involved and why Cyrus draws from another surprising source of inspiration…
“It was inspired by Pink Floyd’s The Wall,” she told HB of the album. “We really leaned in. And so I have this heart-first attachment to it.
