I Want My Loved Ones To Go With Me

I WANT MY LOVED ONES TO GO WITH ME was co-produced by Noah Cyrus alongside long-time, trusted collaborators Mike Crossey and PJ Harding, and features special guests Blake Shelton, Fleet Foxes, Ella Langley and Bill Callahan.

Rooted in Americana, indie folk, and country music, I WANT MY LOVED ONES TO GO WITH ME is a moody, dynamic listening experience mixing whispered vocals with full-throated declarations of personal independence, all tied together by gorgeous organic instrumentation, pedal steel, banjo, dulcimer, mandolin, cellos, and acoustic guitars frame Noah's smoky yet supple voice. "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."

Noah 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 favourite bands. She also brings to life the very first song her father, Billy Ray Cyrus, ever wrote. "With You" is a crisp electric-guitar ballad about undying devotion: "Just listen in the wind and know that I'm your friend/And always with you," she sings. "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."
