- Miley released the "Bass Persuades" title track video, directed by Mert Alas, which blends pop with post-punk and draws heavily on leather culture aesthetics.
- Her new album "Bass Persuades" is set for a September 18 release and features contributions from New York art punks Model/Actriz.
- Miley will celebrate the album with two consecutive shows at Los Angeles' Hollywood Bowl on October 16 and 17.
- The new record follows her 2025 release Something Beautiful, which she recently reissued in a deluxe edition.
- Miley also recently appeared in a Hannah Montana 20th-anniversary special, reprising her iconic blonde wig.
Why it matters: Miley's pivot toward post-punk textures, leather-culture visuals, and a collaboration with art-punk outfit Model/Actriz marks a deliberate stylistic departure from the more traditional pop framing of her 2025 album Something Beautiful. Pairing a September 18 album drop with two Hollywood Bowl dates positions the project as a significant rollout rather than a one-off single, betting on sustained fan engagement through the fall.
