Miley Cyrus Will Return To Music With New Album In 2013

Miley Cyrus is ready to get back into the music game. The “Party in the U.S.A” singer announced on Thursday that she has big plans for the coming year, also noting those plans all have to do with her music career.

After a couple of years away from the musical spotlight, Cyrus has signed on with RCA Records to produce her follow-up to 2010’s Can’t Be Tamed. The album is currently untitled, but according to Billboard, fans of the singer shouldn’t have to wait too long for some album details. Cyrus’ new studio album will drop sometime this year and will feature collaborations with Dr. Luke, Mary J. Blige, and Pharrell Williams, among several others. The 20-year-old singer says the work put into the album has been difficult, but rewarding.

"I've been in so many sessions and just kind of bunkering down and working really hard and perfecting everything. I've never really had time to do that, to kind of have my record kind of 'done' and then sit there and make it until it's perfect.”

After Disney’s famed series Hannah Montana ended, actress and singer Miley Cyrus wanted to spend some time focusing on her film career. With Cyrus making more headlines in recent memory for her engagement to Liam Hemsworth than acting, now seems like a good time to try her hand at music, once more. With “Party in the U.S.A.” producer Dr. Luke on board, there is a good chance her 2013 album will have a few creative hooks and will manage to worm its way into the charts, which will certainly be a step up from her last musical endeavor.
