Miley Cyrus’ new album coming

Miley Cyrus will release her seventh studio album in November. The 27-year-old singer shared cover art and a release date, November 27, for the album, titled Plastic Hearts, on Instagram.

In the caption, Cyrus said she was nearly finished with the album when her house was destroyed in California’s Woolsley Fire in November 2018.

“Just when I thought the body of work was finished ... it was ALL erased. Including most of the music’s relevance. Because EVERYTHING had changed,” she said.

Cyrus said she’s come to see the loss as ‘a favour’ from nature that allowed her to find herself.

Plastic Hearts will mark Cyrus’ first new album since Younger Now, released in September 2017.
