Nancy Wilson Eyes One Last Heart Album
Nancy Wilson says she is ready to return to the studio for what could be one final album by Heart, framing the project as a creative capstone to the band’s more than 50-year history.
Speaking recently on Andy Frasco’s World Saving Podcast, Nancy Wilson said she has been feeling a renewed surge of inspiration and believes the timing is right to record new material with the band. Wilson described the idea as a celebratory moment rather than a reinvention, calling it a chance to take a “victory lap” after decades of music.
“I go through phases,” Wilson said during the interview. “Right now I’m in a phase of really wanting to create new songs. This year or next year feels like the right time to do that.”
Heart’s most recent studio album was Beautiful Broken, released in 2016. Since then, the band has focused largely on touring and archival projects. Wilson’s comments mark the clearest indication yet that new original music from Heart could still be ahead.
Wilson also pointed to the strength of the band’s current lineup as a key motivator. Several musicians who perform with Heart are also involved in side projects connected to Ann Wilson, including her band Tripsitter. According to Wilson, that shared musical ecosystem has helped keep the creative energy alive.
“There are really no limits on what we can do as musicians,” she said, adding that the group’s chemistry continues to evolve even after decades together.
Beyond music, Wilson confirmed that long discussed film projects about the band are still moving forward. A Heart biopic and documentary remain in development, with writer and musician Carrie Brownstein attached to the scripted project. Wilson said those efforts, along with the possibility of a new album, feel like natural ways to reflect on the band’s legacy while still pushing forward creatively.
If completed, a new Heart album would mark the band’s first release of original material in nearly a decade and serve as a closing chapter to one of rock’s most influential and enduring careers.
