Miley Cyrus Announces 10th Studio Album ‘Bass Persuades’ Following Bold Rebrand
Pop icon Miley Cyrus has stunned fans by signaling a new era in her storied career. The singer recently purged her last name from all social media profiles, adopting a minimalist “Miley” moniker that hinted at a major shift in her artistic direction. The mystery behind the rebrand has now been solved with the official announcement of her tenth studio album, Bass Persuades.
A New Chapter Begins
The transition began earlier this week when the singer teased a red-and-black aesthetic on Instagram, accompanied by a simple caption: “MILEY.” The change in her professional handle quickly sparked speculation among her massive fanbase, known as “Smilers,” regarding whether a fresh musical project was on the horizon.
The speculation was confirmed hours later via a stylized black-and-white video teaser showing the singer playing guitar, followed by the reveal of the album’s official title.

The album art for Bass Persuades leans into a raw, monochromatic aesthetic, featuring a striking close-up of the singer with a flower in her mouth. In a heartfelt statement, Cyrus shared the philosophy behind the record’s title.
“My tenth studio album, BASS PERSUADES, is yours September 18th,” the artist wrote. “Music takes hold of us. We feel it, sing it, sometimes dance to it, let it out, and carry on. It is powerful, vulnerable, sweet, and strong. Heart full, heartache, every part of life in between. That’s what the title means to me.”
Cyrus expressed profound gratitude to her supporters, concluding her announcement with a hopeful, “I sincerely hope you love this album.”
Live Debut at the Hollywood Bowl
Beyond the studio release, the “Flowers” hitmaker is wasting no time bringing her new material to the stage. Cyrus announced two highly anticipated shows at the legendary Hollywood Bowl on October 16 and October 18, where she will perform alongside the band MODEL/Actriz.
For the Los Angeles-based artist, the venue holds personal significance. “It’s been a while,” Cyrus shared on social media. “The Hollywood Bowl is my favourite place to experience music and see my favourite artists. I’ve sat in those seats many times, but I’ve never taken the stage. LA is my heart, and I’m bringing it home.”
This upcoming project follows the momentum of her previous record, Something Beautiful, released in May 2025, and its accompanying musical film. With Bass Persuades slated for release on September 18, fans are eagerly waiting to see if this new era marks a departure from her previous sound or a continuation of the artistic evolution that has defined her recent years.
