Summary

  • Sept. 18 is the release date for “Bass Persuades,” Miley’s 10th studio album, unveiled in a social-media rollout that also presented its official cover art.
  • A day earlier, the Grammy winner removed “Cyrus” from her social accounts, signaling a mononymous rebrand that she has framed as the start of a new professional chapter.
  • The album arrives after Miley described the project as a layered love story in Wonderland, shaped by a “peaceful kind of love” and her engagement to Maxx Morando.
  • Last week’s tribute to Dolly Parton tied that shift to “music and metamorphosis,” and the campaign already includes two Hollywood Bowl shows on Oct. 16 and 18, with presale starting Sept. 8.
