Bangerz is the upcoming fourth studio album by American singer-songwriter Miley Cyrus, scheduled to be released on October 4, 2013 by RCA Records.[2] by RCA Records. Described by Cyrus as "dirty south hip-hop", the album represents a musical departure from her earlier work. During its production, Cyrus collaborated with hip hop producers including Mike Will Made It and Pharrell Williams to achieve her desired sound.[3] Furthermore, it is Cyrus' first record to be affixed with the Parental Advisory label for explicit content, and was made available for pre-order through the iTunes Store on August 25, 2013. On August 6, 2013 she revealed the album tittle[4], on August 15, the release date[5] and on August, 25, the album cover for both standar and deluxe editions.[6]

"We Can't Stop" was released as the lead single from the album on June 3, 2013 peaking at number two on the U.S. Billboard Hot 100, and being certified 2x platinum by the RIAA. Its accompanying music video became the fastest clip to reach 100 million views on VEVO.[7] "Wrecking Ball" was released on August 25, 2013 as the second single from the album.

Background

"If you don't know why my record is called BANGERZ you'll know as soon as you hear it. Nothin but #BANGERZ."

Cyrus tweeted after revealing the title of her fourth album as Bangerz.[8]

In January 2013, Cyrus ended her recording contract with Hollywood Records, under which she released the albums Hannah Montana 2: Meet Miley Cyrus (2007), Breakout (2008), Can't Be Tamed (2010), and EP The Time of Our Lives (2009). Later that month, she signed a recording contract with RCA Records.[9] In March, she confirmed that her fourth studio album would be released by the end of 2013.[10] While recording the album, Cyrus described the music on her then-untitled record to be "dirty south hip-hop." To achieve this sound, she worked with various hip hop producers, who also helped her to incorporate country music elements into the project.[11]

On August 6, after reaching 13 million followers on Twitter, Cyrus tweeted that the record would be titled Bangerz.[12] She later confirmed that it would be released on October 8, 2013 in the United States.[13] On August 24, Cyrus unveiled the album artworks for the standard and deluxe versions of Bangerz; both depict a blonde Cyrus wearing a short black coat with the title "Bangerz" stylized in florescent neon lighting in front of palm trees.[14] It was described as being reminiscent of the 1980s television series Miami Vice and an unexpected choice given her recent influence by hip hop culture.[15] That day, Bangerz was made available for pre-order through the iTunes Store.[16]

Singles

"We Can't Stop" was released as the lead single from Bangerz on June 3, 2013.[17] It received generally mixed reviews from music critics, who were ambivalent towards its production and lyrics.[18] The track peaked at number two on the US Billboard Hot 100, tying it with "Party in the U.S.A." as Cyrus' highest-peaking single in the country.[19] Internationally, it enjoyed varying success across Europe and Oceania.[20] It accompanying music video was released on June 19, 2013, and was noted for depicting an increasingly provocative Cyrus, an effort begun with her third record Can't Be Tamed (2010).[21] With 10.7 million views in it first day, the clip briefly held the Vevo record for the most views in twenty-four hours before being surpassed by "Best Song Ever" by One Direction. It is currently the fastest video to reach 100 million views, having done so in 37 days.[22]
