A new album of Miley Cyrus tracks reportedly surfaced last month.
Alongside the release of her eighth album, ‘Endless Summer Vacation’, the 12-song set is believed to have hit streaming platforms on March 10 (via Rolling Stone UK).
Released under the pseudonym Clara Pierce, ‘Down With Me’ deals with the breakdown of a romantic relationship with vocals strikingly similar to the Flowers star.
Song titles include I Don’t Wanna Tell You Lies, Hands Of Time, Can’t Live Forever and Right Hand Man, with At Least I Can Say That I Tried sharing similarities with her 2019 single Slide Away.
‘I want my house in the hills/ Don’t want the whiskey and pills,’ she sings on the standalone single, with the new tune elaborating: ‘It feels like overkill / Don’t need another pill / Got lost in the chaos / You don’t know when to stop / When I wake up, look over at him / He’s still so fucked up / I’m always afraid of what I will find.’
That song is known to fans as 1000 Times (Been Through This), based on a demo she made for a Juice WRLD collaboration that never saw the light of day.
Meanwhile, the song Sagittarius appears to nod to Mother’s Daughter from her 2019 EP ‘She Is Coming, on which she sings: ‘I told you once before, I’m my mother’s daughter.’
‘She Is Coming’ was originally intended as part of a full project titled ‘She Is Miley Cyrus’, but the idea was scrapped in favour of her seventh album, 2020’s ‘Plastic Hearts’.
According to reports, the songs on ‘Down With Me’ are credited to Willian Cordeiro as the songwriter, apart from I Don’t Wanna Tell You Lies, which is credited to Carla Pierce.
The ‘leaked’ record has since been removed from all major online music sites and some fans have suggested it could be an elaborate AI-generated project (via New York Post).
