Miley Cyrus Announces New Album Bass Persuades

Miley Cyrus is opening a new chapter with her 10th studio album, Bass Persuades, arriving September 18 through Atlantic Records.

The project follows Something Beautiful and is described as exploring music's emotional pull through heartbreak, vulnerability, confidence, strength and release. That framing suggests Cyrus is once again looking beyond a single sound or mood and building an album around a broader emotional journey.

There is also a noticeable identity shift surrounding this era. Cyrus is increasingly using simply "Miley" as part of the rollout, giving the project a more stripped-down and intentional presentation.

The title, visual direction and overall branding of Bass Persuades point toward a reset in how she is framing this phase of her career. With her recent work moving across pop, rock and more experimental territory, there is plenty of curiosity about what the new album will actually sound like.

That may be the biggest question heading into release: will Miley lean back into polished pop, push harder into rock, or take another unexpected turn?

Which direction would you most like to hear on the new album: pop, rock or something more experimental?
