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, now 25, 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. Co-produced by Noah with her trusted collaborators Mike Crossey and PJ Harding, I WANT MY LOVED ONES TO GO WITH ME, is an album rooted in Americana, indie folk, and country music. It's a moody, dynamic listening experience mixing whispered vocals with full-throated declarations of personal independence and commitment to a partner, all tied together by gorgeous organic instrumentation. Pedal steel, banjo, dulcimer, mandolin, cellos, and acoustic guitars frame GRAMMY? nominated Noah's smoky yet supple voice. The themes - of family, of nature - pair effortlessly with Noah's immersive interpretation of country music. She tip-toed around the genre on her full-length debut, 2022's The Hardest Part, but throws herself headlong into it's sounds on I WANT MY LOVED ONES TO GO WITH ME, even enlisting Americana darling Bill Callahan, for the vulnerable XXX, and Nashville guests: Blake Shelton on New Country, and Ella Langley on Way of the World.
