HEART To Issue 13th Studio Album This Fall
June 7, 2012, 12 years ago
Billboard.com's Gary Graff reports:
HEART will bring fans up to date this fall, when the duo releases Fanatic, it's 13th studio album and the follow-up to 2010's Red Velvet Car. Like that set, Fanatic was produced by Ben Mink and recorded in Los Angeles and Seattle, with SARAH McLACHLAN guesting on a track called 'Walking Good'. Ann Wilson expects 10 songs to make the final cut from 20 that were recorded and says Fanatic is "pretty rock heavy. There are only two ballads on it. It's got a lot of edge. I spent a lot of time riding around on a tour bus the last couple of years, just way out in the middle of the country where the poetry speaks really loud. I had a notebook. I wrote a song about Pennsylvania. There's one about Vancouver. It's a fiery bunch of words. There's anger. There's passion. That's why it's called Fanatic, because it's love fanatic."
