Heart to Release First New Album in a Decade

Heart will soon release its first new album in 10 years, singer-guitarist Nancy Wilson said in an interview with Gold Derby.

Wilson confirmed the band has finished recording the album, a follow-up to 2016's "Beautiful Broken." She said the record features original songs written with her sister, lead singer Ann Wilson, and the group's current touring lineup.

"We wrote a bunch of new songs and recorded down in Nashville with the players we toured with," Wilson said. "Because we've played so many live shows, the album was pretty much recorded live. I'm really happy. It really feels like a Heart record."

A release date has not been announced. Wilson said the album will be delivered by the end of August, with plans for a rollout alongside the band's world tour, a documentary, and an upcoming biopic.

Wilson has suggested this could be Heart's final full-length album, calling it "a victory lap out of our legacy." She and Ann Wilson co-founded the band in 1973 and recently marked the 50th anniversary of Heart's 1975 debut.

A Heart biopic is in development at Amazon Films, with a script by Carrie Brownstein of Sleater-Kinney and "Portlandia." Nancy Wilson said last year she would like sisters Elle and Dakota Fanning to play the Wilsons, but casting details have not been released.

Heart, inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in 2013, is known for hits such as "Alone," "Barracuda," "Crazy on You," "Magic Man," "These Dreams" and "All I Wanna Do Is Make Love to You." Ann Wilson, 76, was treated for cancer in 2024 and also leads the band Tripsitter. Nancy Wilson, 72, is known for composing film music, including for "Almost Famous," "Jerry Maguire" and "Elizabethtown," directed by her former husband Cameron Crowe.

Heart has two concerts scheduled in October, with more dates expected to be announced next year.
