Noah Cyrus details second album, I WANT MY LOVED ONES TO GO WITH ME

“For a long time, I couldn't really trust in my own choices. I had to learn how to make decisions for myself and make that transition into adulthood,” Noah Cyrus says. “But I've found who I am, I know who I am, and this record shows what I had inside me all this time. This album is me.”

“I want this album to offer fans a sense of comforting, peaceful nostalgia. That’s something that I feel so heavily when I listen to music. We all want to connect with our past while also being aware of the present moment. Music does that for me, and this collection of songs was made with that in mind,” Noah Cyrus says of the forthcoming release. “I want to evoke that feeling of a comforting friend that a song can be — and allow us all to heal.”

Noah Cyrus pays homage to members of her family in ways both subtle and overt throughout the album. In “Don’t Put It All On Me,” Noah records a song her brother Braison wrote for her, and turns it into a collaboration with Robin Pecknold of Fleet Foxes, one of Braison’s favorite bands. She also brings to life the very first song her father, Billy Ray Cyrus, ever wrote – “With You”. “My dad is one of my biggest influences,” Noah says. “He turned me on to so many great songs and artists. My musical inspirations came from somewhere, and more often than not, it’s been him.”

There’s also a nod to her father’s influence in “I Saw the Mountains,” a tale of recognizing and communing with the beauty in nature. As a child of Tennessee and California, Noah was always outdoors, and often on horseback. “The harmony between people and the earth is really taken for granted,” she says. “My dad taught us from an early age to connect with nature and the animals that inhabit it.”
