Noah Cyrus - I Want My Loved Ones To Go With Me [LP]

Noah Cyrus - I Want My Loved Ones To Go With Me - Vinyl

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 GRAMMYr 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 its 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.
