Miley Cyrus announces long-awaited seventh album Plastic Hearts

Plastic Hearts will follow on from Cyrus' 2017 LP Younger Now.

Cyrus announced her new album on socials last night (22 October). She revealed that despite thinking she was nearly finished with the project after working on it for over two years, "it was ALL erased. Including most of the musics relevance. Because EVERYTHING had changed."

Cyrus continued, "Nature did what I now see as a favor and destroyed what I couldn’t let go of for myself. I lost my house in a fire but found myself in its ashes. Luckily my collaborators still had most of the music that was burned up in journals and computers filled with songs for the EP series I was working on at the time. But it never felt right to release my “story” (each record being a continual autobiography) with a huge chapter missing. If it were a chapter in my book I guess I would call it "The Beginning" which usually when something is over we call it "The End". But it was far from that."

She added, "In triumph and gratitude I present to you my 7th studio record, Plastic Hearts. To be released Nov. 27th 2020."

If you’re reading this… know that I fucking love and appreciate you on the deepest level. I began this album over 2 years ago. Thought I had it all figured out. Not just the record with its songs and sounds but my whole fucking life. But no one checks an ego like life itself. Just when I thought the body of work was finished… it was ALL erased. Including most of the musics relevance. Because EVERYTHING had changed. Nature did what I now see as a favor and destroyed what I couldn’t let go of for myself. I lost my house in a fire but found myself in its ashes. Luckily my collaborators still had most of the music that was burned up in journals and computers filled with songs for the EP series I was working on at the time. But it never felt right to release my “story” (each record being a continual autobiography) with a huge chapter missing. If it were a chapter in my book I guess I would call it “The Beginning” which usually when something is over we call it “The End”. But it was far from that.

Plastic Hearts will feature Cyrus' huge August single "Midnight Sky", as well as her recent covers of Blondie's "Heart of Glass" and The Cranberries' "Zombie".

The tracklist is yet to be unveiled, but Cyrus confirmed last month that the LP will feature Billy Idol and Dua Lipa.
