Miley Cyrus is planning a hiatus from the industry – so she can shed her teen pop star image and concentrate on adopting rockier sound.

The “Party In The U.S.A.” star, 17, has grown tired of the bubblegum pop that have become her trademark and is planning to give her music an edgy overhaul. Miley figures the best way to brace fans for her new image is by taking a break from recording for a little while.

She tells British TV show GMTV: “I want to do my last pop record, I’m working on a record right now. I kinda (sic) want this to be my last record for a little while and be able to take a break and just get all the types of music that I really love… you know my favorite styles. And be able have something edgier and not have to worry about people saying, ‘Oh, this isn’t what her fans want to listen to.’ Because in a few years, as I grow up, so will my fans and I won’t have to focus on that as much and I’ll be able to have more of the sound of music that I’m into.”
