Heart return with a new album "Beautiful Broken"

Thirty-one years after the release of theirfirst album, Dreamboat Annie, the Wilson sisters are set to make their return with "Beautiful Broken". Their 16th studio album,will be released on 8 July.Teaming up with Metallica’s James Hetfield for the title track (and lead single) is a master stroke; the song kicks like a mule while also making clear the high regard with which younger generation of rock’s elite hold the Wilsons. Fans might remember the song as a bonus track from their 2012 outing, Fanatic, but as Nancy says, this new recording “blows the previous version out of the water”.

Seven of the album’s 10 tracks are re-recordings of old Heart songs that the Wilsons felt they wanted to do over, among them live favourites such as ‘City’s Burning’, ‘Down On Me’ and ‘Sweet Darlin’’ – songs whose studio versions, the sisters feel, didn’t get their due first time around. They “may have fallen through the cracks… because of where radio was at the time when they were first released”, Ann says.

Recorded in Los Angeles’ legendary Sunset Sound studios, and co-produced with heart bassist Dan Rothchild (father of Paul Rothchild, legendary producer of The Doors’ classic 60s records, which were recorded in that very same studio), Beautiful Broken fully captures the bite of LA rock’s classic rock past, while ensuring the Wilson sisters’ vision remains relevant to a modern rock audience.
