Also influencing the upcoming record is the 2018 film Mandy, a dark and visually striking horror movie that follows Nicolas Cage as he avenges his girlfriend, portrayed by Andrea Riseborough. It’s one of Cyrus’ favorite movies, even inspiring her to name one of her dogs after the titular character.

Cyrus describes the project as ’a concept album that’s an attempt to medicate somewhat of a sick culture through music.’
