## Summary

Miley Cyrus has signed with Atlantic Records after two albums with Columbia, and confirmed she would "genuinely" like to return to acting, in an interview published as part of her stint guest-editing music and culture magazine Wonderland. The label switch marks a fresh chapter for the Grammy-winning singer, who scored a huge hit with "Flowers" from her Columbia album "Endless Summer Vacation", and signals a possible pivot back towards film work after years focused primarily on music.

For the Wonderland issue, Cyrus assembled figures she admires, including Dolly Parton, Daryl Hannah, her mother Tish Cyrus-Purcell and sister Noah Cyrus, alongside artists such as Kelela, Lykke Li, Sky Ferreira and Suzanne Vega. In a wide-ranging conversation with Hannah, Cyrus described songwriting as an almost spiritual process, likening it to "crossing over to another side" and comparing finished songs to something remembered rather than created. She said she would love to both act and direct, citing Hannah as someone she has long dreamed of working with, and spoke of wanting to "disappear into something romantic" as she looks towards new creative territory.
