Pop singer Miley Cyrus announced the release date for her new album Bangerz on Thursday via Twitter. She also revealed some artwork for the upcoming release.

"#BANGERZ #Oct8th," she wrote on Twitter about the album.

In a tweet that followed, Cyrus also revealed some artwork for Bangerz. The simplistic cover shows the album's titled written in neon lights over some plants.

She previewed the album earlier this year with her current summer smash "We Can't Stop." The woozy club track became another top five hit for the singer on Billboard's Hot 100.

To further promote Bangerz, Cyrus is set to perform at this year's MTV Video Music Awards. She is also up in the Song of the Summer category for "We Can't Stop" against the likes of One Direction and Selena Gomez.

Bangerz will be Cyrus' first release with her new record label RCA.
