Miley Cyrus just casually announced that she’s closing in on finishing a new album, revealing in an interview published Monday (July 27) that her 10th full-length project will revolve around the love she’s nurtured for both herself and fiancé Maxx Morando.

“This album is a love story, but love stories are never one-dimensional,” she told Daryl Hannah for the latest issue of Wonderland, which Cyrus guest edited. “They’re always layered.”


According to the publication, the star’s next full-length may come in a matter of months, possibly before the 2027 Grammys in February. “There is definitely a romantic thread weaving through it because, like all my records, it’s a reflection of where I am in my life,” Cyrus continued of the LP, noting it will have 10 tracks. “But this one feels especially meaningful because this feeling has stayed with me through multiple eras.”

“That’s something I hadn’t really experienced before,” she added. “A peaceful kind of love has become a theme across my last three records. Not just the love I share with someone else, but the love I’ve found for myself. That’s probably been the biggest evolution. Once your relationship with yourself changes, every relationship around you changes too. I think this record celebrates both of those equally.”

The former Disney star’s news comes on the heels of the announcement that she’d found a new label home Atlantic Records, which is owned by Warner Music Group, after 13 years with Sony. Her last album with prior label Columbia was Endless Summer Vacation, which reached No. 4 on the Billboard 200 and spawned the Grammy-winning, eight-week Billboard Hot 100-topper “Flowers.”

“Usually I’m very certain of the destination, and sometimes that can almost obliterate the journey because I’m so focused on getting somewhere,” Cyrus said in the new interview. “This one was different. It was organic and really unforced. Something that was super helpful this time was I started with the tracklist and never veered from it. I knew it would be 10 songs. I roughly knew the sound and the concept. That gave me a really strong compass without making the process feel forced.”

Spotify to Label AI Artists on the Platform With New ‘AI Persona’ Badge

The music of artists tagged with the label will be excluded from personalized recommendations on the service.

Spotify has announced the creation of a new label that will be applied to AI-generated artists and begin rolling out in mid-September. Music from artists bearing the label, called “AI Persona,” will not be included in personalized recommendations on the platform.

Creators can begin disclosing that an artist profile is AI-generated starting Tuesday (Aug. 11). Spotify won’t solely rely on voluntary disclosures, however, as the streaming platform will also review accounts. For accounts that Spotify labels as AI, artists will have the opportunity to either self-disclose or appeal.
