Miley Cyrus tells her personal story with "Plastic Hearts". She now explained why she had to record the album several times.
Miley Cryus (27, "Wrecking Ball") is releasing her seventh studio album "Plastic Hearts" on November 27th, 2020. Why did she keep her fans waiting for new music over three years? The singer explains on Instagram: "I started this album over two years ago. I thought I had everything under control. Not just the record with its songs and sounds, but my whole damn life." But it turned out differently.
"Just when I thought the whole work was done, everything was wiped out," writes Cyrus. Everything has changed. In the flames of the fire drama that raged in the US state of California in November 2018, the singer lost her home in Malibu. "Nature did what I now consider a favor and destroyed what I couldn't let go of myself."
Your story was incomplete
A large part of the music "that was burned in diaries and computers", Cyrus was able to get back from her collaboration partners. Still, it "never felt right" for the 27-year-old to release the album the way it was. After all, it was her personal story – "every record is a continuous autobiography" – of which "a large chapter" was missing at the time.
Now Cyrus is satisfied with the end result. With the lost house and the failed marriage to Liam Hemsworth, 30, she seems to have concluded. However, she does not speak of an end, on the contrary: "If it were a chapter in my book, I would probably call it 'The Beginning'."
