Miley Cyrus Releases Tenth Album 'Bass Persuades' and Drops Last Name
On Friday, Miley Cyrus unveiled her tenth studio album, 'Bass Persuades,' and has opted to drop her last name, now simply using Miley. The album's title track serves as a dance-pop tribute to Madonna, encouraging a return to analog experiences while critiquing screen dependency. It features songs such as 'Different Religion' and 'Let's Get Married,' the latter showcasing her fiancé, Maxx Morando, in its music video. Another notable track, 'Orbit,' draws inspiration from Lana Del Rey. At 33 years old, Cyrus, originally from Franklin, Tennessee, first rose to prominence in 2006 with 'Hannah Montana.' Her 2013 release 'Bangerz' debuted at No. 1, and her 2023 single 'Flowers' became the year's top-selling song. Critics have remarked that 'Bass Persuades' lacks a unique identity.
