Miley Cyrus Set to Release her New Album 'Younger Now' on 9/29

Variety.com reports that Miley Cyrus has announced the release date of her upcoming new album, "Younger Now," which is set to be released on Sept. 29. Posted via her website showing the album's title and release date, the album, which will be her sixth to date, is expected to be the more-or-less official follow-up to her 2013 hit album "Bangerz," which debuted at No. 1 on the Billboard 200.

In recent months she's released two songs that are more traditionally pop, "Malibu" and "Inspired," the latter of which she performed in June at Ariana Grande's "One Love Manchester" concert; she also performed "Happy" with Pharrell and a cover of Crowded House's "Don't Dream It's Over" with Grande. To promote "Malibu," she "took over" the NBC network, appearing on multiple shows throughout the day, including "Today" and "The Tonight Show With Jimmy Fallon."

Miley Cyrus is an American singer, songwriter, and actress. After playing minor roles in the television series Doc and the film Big Fish in her childhood, she became a teen idol starring as the character Miley Stewart in the Disney Channel television series Hannah Montana in 2006. She subsequently signed a recording contract with Hollywood Records, and her debut studio album Meet Miley Cyrus (2007) was certified triple-platinum by the Recording Industry Association of America (RIAA) having shipped over three million units.

Her sexually explicit behavior generated widespread controversy while promoting her fourth album Bangerz (2013), her first under her recording contract with RCA Records. Cyrus' independently-released fifth studio album Miley Cyrus & Her Dead Petz (2015) deviated from her traditional pop style for more psychedelic experimentation. In 2016, she was a coach for the eleventh season of the singing competition series The Voice.

With Bangerz, Cyrus achieved her third number-one album on the U.S. Billboard 200, and fifth overall including Hannah Montana soundtrack albums. She has logged eight top 10 entries on the U.S. Billboard Hot 100 with: "See You Again", "7 Things", "The Climb", "Party in the U.S.A.", "Can't Be Tamed", "We Can't Stop", "Malibu" and the chart-topping "Wrecking Ball". Cyrus has earned numerous awards and nominations, as Billboard ranked her as the fourth best-selling female artist of 2009. She was ranked number thirteen on Forbes' Celebrity 100 in 2010, and in 2013 was declared "Artist of the Year" by MTV. She has been included on the Time 100 list of most influential people in 2008 and 2014.
