As the guest editor of the new issue of Wonderland magazine, Miley Cyrus used the opportunity not only to talk about the next chapter of her career, but to bring together people she admires, from Dolly Parton and Daryl Hannah to mother Tish Cyrus-Purcell and sister Noah Cyrus, as well as Kelela, Lykke Li, Sky Ferreira, 070 Shake, Towa Bird, Suzanne Vega, Tallulah Willis, Scout Willis, Phantogram, Model/Actriz, and others. In it, she talks at length about music, creativity and what future acting roles might look like.
Variety can also confirm that Cyrus has signed with Atlantic Records after releasing two albums on Columbia, including “Endless Summer Vacation” which featured her Grammy-winning smash “Flowers.”

The issue features a wide-ranging conversation between Cyrus — who appeared on the cover of Variety earlier this year — and Daryl Hannah, in which she talks about music, a possible return to acting, growing up in public and more.
She spoke in general terms about the next chapter of her musical career. “For me, a song isn’t just chords, melody, and lyrics. It’s a feeling,” she said. “It’s not right or wrong like an answer. It’s alive. It almost becomes its own little entity that tells you what it needs if you’re listening. I love making records with people who aren’t precious about ideas. Everyone is there because they’re excited by the same thing. There’s no ego in the room when it’s working. Just curiosity. It’s really special to be surrounded by people who want to surprise each other and are comfortable throwing an idea away or expanding on it.”
