Miley Cyrus Drops Cyrus Name for Bass Persuades

Miley Cyrus is dropping the Cyrus surname and branding herself simply as Miley while unveiling her 10th studio album, Bass Persuades, set for release September 18 under Atlantic Records. The rollout includes two Hollywood Bowl performances in Los Angeles on October 16 and 18, with Model/Actriz as a special guest, marking her first major LA gigs in years. The album contains ten tracks with collaborators and a remix of the title track, and follows her signing with Atlantic earlier this year. Her father Billy Ray Cyrus publicly supported the naming change, praising the shift as a natural progression. Presales are set up through American Express, Miley’s own pre-sales, and Spotify ahead of a general sale, with ticket info linked on her site.
