WEST HOLLYWOOD, CA- As the dusk of a warm summer evening began setting in, Noah Cyrus took to the stage at Outloud Fest with an air of understated confidence. Her entrance was devoid of the bombast one might expect from a member of the Cyrus dynasty—a family that has indelibly stamped its mark on the pop culture zeitgeist. Instead, Noah exuded a quiet, almost ethereal presence, casting a spell over the audience with a performance that was as sensual as it was mysterious. This juxtaposition felt like an intentional oxymoron, considering how much she and her family live in the glaring spotlight.
Noah’s performance was a testament to her evolution as an artist, a journey that has been defined by the need to carve out her own identity in the shadow of a famous surname. From her early days of sugary pop tracks to the more introspective and sonically diverse offerings of her recent work, Noah Cyrus has steadily been defining who she is outside of the familial fame. Her last full-length release, the 2022 album “The Hardest Part”, showcased a matured sound that flirted with alt-country and indie-pop, steering away from the mainstream pop lanes her older sister, Miley, has dominated.
The concert’s setlist flowed like a seamless narrative, drawing the audience into the depths of her emotional world. Her voice—rich with a haunting quality—carried through the air, wrapping around the audience like a mist. It was the kind of performance that required and commanded attention, a far cry from the more exuberant, arena-filling antics one might associate with the Cyrus name. Noah has chosen a different route, one less about spectacle and more about intimate, emotional connection.
A notable aspect of Noah’s recent artistic evolution is her penchant for collaboration. In 2023, she teamed up with Australian singer-songwriter Vance Joy, a partnership that hinted at her growing interest in blending folk sensibilities with her pop roots. More recently, her duet with Orville Peck, “How Far Will We Take It,” released in 2024, further underscores her foray into genre-blending. Peck, known for his enigmatic persona and a voice that recalls the golden age of country, provided a perfect foil for Noah’s breathy, emotive style. Together, they crafted a song that feels both timeless and fresh, resonating with the quiet introspection that characterizes much of her recent work. She doesn’t seem to be chasing chart-toppers or viral moments; she’s chasing authenticity, a quality that resonates deeply in her music.
Her performance at Outloud Fest was a stark reminder that sensuality and mystery can coexist. Dressed in a tightly fitted silver ensemble that shimmered in the setting sun, her ensemble mirrored the moody tones of her music, Noah moved through her set with an elegant languor, each note delivered with soulful intensity. Songs like “I Burned LA Down” and “July” were rendered with a rawness that seemed to channel the very essence of vulnerability. It’s this willingness to lay bare her soul that sets Noah apart, making her not just a performer, but a storyteller.
