Miley drops new name and album
Miley Cyrus is stepping into a new chapter with her tenth studio album and first full-length release for Atlantic Records, Bass Persuades. The highly anticipated record arrives on September 18th, marking a deliberate pivot in the artist’s creative direction.
The album is a collection of ten tracks that dive deep into the emotional landscape of life. Cyrus recently shared her vision, noting that music acts as a powerful conduit, allowing people to feel, sing, and express everything from heartache to strength. She described the title as capturing the full spectrum of human experience: “Heart full, heartache, every part of life in between.”
The creative process behind Bass Persuades saw exciting collaborations, including Model/Actriz joining on “Different Religion” and longtime collaborator Andrew Wyatt of Miike Snow contributing to “Neon Signs.”
Beyond the music itself, the promotional cycle introduced a significant change: Cyrus has chosen to omit her last name for this release, signaling a shift in personal branding that leaves fans eagerly anticipating the new identity.
This new visual world is already taking shape, with the album’s imagery being crafted through a special issue of Wonderland magazine. Cyrus has worked with photographers Mario Sorrenti, Alastair McKimm, and Mert Alas to define the aesthetic of the project.
The excitement surrounding the album is being paired with a return to a more intimate stage. While the record marks a significant artistic shift, the planned performances offer a unique experience. Cyrus is set to return to the stage for two shows at the Hollywood Bowl in Los Angeles on October 16th and 18th.
This decision reflects a preference for connection over spectacle. In a previous interview, Cyrus explained that she favors the “one-on-one, intimate connection” of smaller venues, explaining that she prefers experiencing music in smaller rooms rather than large-scale tours.
It is a compelling evolution, moving from massive spectacle to personal connection. For fans, the arrival of Bass Persuades promises not just new music, but a deeply personal journey.
