Ann about the new album

DeseretNews.com:  During a recent break in their tour, Ann Wilson told the Deseret News during an interview from Chicago that she and her sister are already in the process of writing their next album, which she says will be a much heavier record than Red Velvet Car. Like all of Heart’s music, the songs on the new album, Wilson said, come from her and her sister’s observations of what’s going on around them. “There’s a song on the album coming up about the way it feels right now to be in this economy,” Wilson said. In what she called a “very poetic” song, Wilson said the song looks at how someone can stand in the middle of a street, close their eyes and feel what the town was like at its peak, and then open their eyes to see what was happening today. After 13 studio albums and appearing on Billboard’s charts in four different decades, Heart’s legacy as one of rock’s all time greatest groups is secure. But Ann Wilson said she and her sister aren’t ready to just sit back and cruise through the rest of their career on past achievements. “It’s the same thing that pushed us to start off in the first place,” Wilson said of the reason Heart keeps moving ahead with new music. “It’s an artist’s need to express themselves.” More from this article
