Noah Cyrus has announced her debut album.
'The Hardest Part' will arrive on July 15 through RECORDS/Columbia Records, following up her 2021 EP 'People Don't Change'. It was helmed by award-winning producer Mike Crossey, though Cyrus oversaw all the musical arrangements, making sure to include pedal steel and slide guitar. She said:
“Creating the arrangements was the most fulfilling part of this record. Mike and I were so driven and fully engulfed in the music. It was seamless—our brains connected into one. I found a safe place to make music with people I love and trust. The process was really healing for me.
"For the first time, I’m revealing my complete and honest truth.”
The record will feature her new single, I Burned LA Down, which brings together elements of country, folk and pop, and arrives with an Actual Objects-directed video. Explaining the song's inspiration, Cyrus added:
"Living in California, you’re constantly living with this dread of wildfire season. At the time, I was reeling from my breakup, and Caldor was dominating the news. All this internal, emotional pain I was feeling was intertwined with the anxiety around this out-of-control fire and climate change in general. The song took shape around the idea that the only way my ex could comprehend the scale of my emotions was if I became this agent of chaos and set the entire city on fire. That idea of your internal struggle manifesting itself in the real world and affecting your surroundings is a big theme of the record, and that song feels so much bigger than anything I’ve written before. It’s the perfect introduction to the album.”
