Noah Cyrus continues to captivate audiences with her unique sound and mesmerizing visuals, affirming her status as a formidable artist with the release of “I Saw the Mountains.” This latest single is part of her evolving discography, known for blending elements of alt-country with a profound lyrical narrative. Cyrus's connection to nature is vividly portrayed in this new release, both through her lyrics and the accompanying video. Directed by Rudy Grazziani and Navs, the video complements the song’s ethereal quality by presenting Cyrus in serene natural settings, such as lush landscapes and tranquil waters, which serve as a fitting backdrop to her introspective lyrics.

The video's stunning cinematography is highlighted by scenes of Cyrus riding a white horse and standing amongst redwood trees, which metaphorically symbolizes a deep connection with the earth and a harmonious balance with nature. These scenes are enhanced by her somber yet powerful narration, depicting themes of journey, hope, and reconnecting with oneself. The lyrics of “I Saw the Mountains” narrate a story of coexisting with and being embraced by the natural world, illustrated with lines like “I swam the river and the river swam me, we carried each other back out to the sea,” which suggests a symbiotic relationship with nature.

Cyrus's new single also signals a continuation of her experimental direction highlighted in her collaboration with Fleet Foxes on “Don't Put It All on Me.” The partnership with Fleet Foxes’ Robin Pecknold is seen by many critics as a career-defining moment that helped Cyrus to further carve out her place as an influential voice in the alternative music scene. Her music consistently defies traditional genre boundaries, fusing country with alternative undertones, which allows her to create a distinctive sound that resonates on a deeper emotional level.

The reception of “I Saw the Mountains” underscores Cyrus’s drive to create music that feels like a personal exploration while speaking to universal experiences of healing and solitude. This sentiment is captured in her statements about wanting to evoke the sense of a comforting friend through her music, one who helps listeners to process past experiences while grounding them in the present. This authentic approach to her craft has been praised for its genuine expression and ability to connect with audiences on an emotional level.

Noah Cyrus's ongoing evolution as an artist is reflected in her thoughtful music-making process that values introspection and connectivity over mainstream success. Her ability to incorporate these themes into music allows her to stand out as an artist who prioritizes storytelling and emotional resonance. “I Saw the Mountains” reinforces this narrative, and as it garners attention across streaming platforms, it highlights her position as an artist committed to pushing boundaries and defying expectations within the industry.
