Miley Cyrus is officially writing her next sonic chapter on her own terms. The Grammy-winning pop visionary has released her tenth studio album, Bass Persuades, marking her definitive debut under the singular mononym Miley. Released via Atlantic Records, the 12-track project arrives as the inaugural release under her high-profile record deal with the label, following her departure from Sony Music after a landmark 14-year partnership.
The release marks a swift follow-up to her acclaimed 2024 record Something Beautiful, signaling an artist operating at the absolute peak of her creative confidence. Reflecting on the whirlwind evolution that birthed the project, Cyrus shared an intimate message with fans across her social channels alongside the album’s drop:
“This album happened fast, but that’s been my life for 20 years. Once I started wishing to land a role that would make LA my home, it’s been nonstop. This album is a reflection of everywhere I’ve been along the way and the peace that came with starting to slow it all down. Thank you for celebrating this release with me. It’s a special record, and it’s bliss to share with you. Love always.”
Coinciding with the album’s arrival, Miley unveiled the moody, cinematic music video for the standout track “Let’s Get Married.” Directed by acclaimed fashion photographer Mert Alas, the visual was filmed on location at the iconic Chateau Marmont in West Hollywood. Adding a layer of personal authenticity to the project, the video co-stars her fiancé, musician Maxx Morando, capturing an effortless, atmospheric romance against the hotel’s storied backdrop.
The artistic rebrand to “Miley” reflects a broader trend of pop icons stripping back corporate polish in favor of raw, legacy-defining expression. Combining deep basslines, soul-infused pop arrangements, and introspective lyricism, Bass Persuades stands as a testament to an artist who has spent two decades in the public eye only to find total creative liberation in the quiet power of slowing down.
