It is powerful, vulnerable, sweet and strong.
The change comes as she announces her 10th studio album, “Bass Persuades,” due for release on September 18. Cyrus described music as something people feel, sing along to and sometimes dance to. “It is powerful, vulnerable, sweet and strong,” she wrote, saying the title represented the full range from a full heart to heartbreak.
Cyrus also thanked fans for helping make her “boldest dreams” come true and announced two concerts at the Hollywood Bowl in Los Angeles in mid-October.
I have an angel by my side. I always have.
Her announcement followed an emotional message about her late godmother, country music icon Dolly Parton. Cyrus wrote that Parton would have wanted her to allow herself to feel the pain, write a song about it and remain strong. “I have an angel by my side. I always have,” Cyrus wrote. “I will always love her and want to make her proud.” Parton died in Nashville, Tennessee, at age 80.
I will always love her and want to make her proud.
