Nancy Wilson Announces New ‘One More Heart’ Album

Nancy Wilson has shared that she hopes to record one final album with Heart and then take what she calls a celebratory “victory lap” to honor the band’s nearly 50-year history alongside her sister and longtime bandmate Ann Wilson.

Speaking on Andy Frasco’s World Saving Podcast, Wilson said she’s currently feeling inspired to write new material and already has several songs in progress. She explained that now feels like the right moment—over the next year or two—for Heart to reflect on its legacy, which is why she believes the band should release one more album. Their most recent studio release was Beautiful Broken in 2016.

Wilson also expressed enthusiasm about Heart’s current lineup, which includes musicians from Ann Wilson’s solo project, Tripsitter. She said the chemistry among the players is strong and creatively freeing, with no sense of limitation. While she’s contributing songs of her own, Ann is also collaborating with those musicians on new material. Wilson added that she envisions 2027 being focused largely on a Heart film and documentary, following the release of what she expects to be the band’s final album.

Heart Biopic Nearing Completion

Wilson revealed that a long-anticipated Heart biopic is finally gaining momentum. According to her, the project is close to completion and currently has a final script draft in the works by Carrie Brownstein, known for her work on Portlandia and as a member of Sleater-Kinney. Wilson described Brownstein as both a friend and a talented writer and said collaborating with her has been a unique experience—especially when it comes to imagining who might portray the band members on screen.

As for casting ideas, Wilson mentioned Elle Fanning as a possible choice to play her, while suggesting Florence Pugh could be a good fit to portray Ann.

Still Passionate About Music, Less So About Touring

Although Heart remains active and is preparing to launch the 2026 leg of its Royal Flush tour, Wilson admitted that touring has become far more taxing with time. She said the idea of a “victory lap” may sound strange, but as life changes—and as grandchildren enter the picture—it feels more reasonable to step back from large-scale tours.

Wilson explained that while performing onstage still brings immense joy and excitement, the physical demands of constant travel have become exhausting after nearly five decades. She emphasized that she would gladly continue making music for as long as she’s able, but acknowledged that the touring lifestyle itself has become the most difficult part of the job.
