SongsTevie Nicks announces new album with ‘memories of fantastic men’Artista describes Prince -inspired track and reveals details of the project that baptized The Ghost RecordPor Newsroom

During an acceptance speech at a Beverly Hills awards on Thursday night (17), Stevie Nicks It surprised by revealing that it is recording unreleased songs.

“I’m doing a record right now,” said the artist. “I call The Ghost Record [‘O Disco Fantasma’]because it just happened in recent weeks, because you know… of the fires [na Califórnia]. ”

The statement was made during the Pollstar awardsevent of the music industry focused on the shows and tours. Nicks received the Hall of Fama Award, delivered by the musical executive Jimmy Iovine.

“I stayed 92 days in a hotel,” she told her. “And at some point, near the end of these 92 days, I thought, ‘Do you know one thing? I feel like it’s on the road, but without any shows. I’m just sitting here, alone, while everyone is home taking care of reconstruction and bureaucracy. And then I thought, ‘You need to go back to work.’ And I came back. Now I have seven songs – real, autobiographical stories, in which, for the first time, I’m not relieving anything. ”
(Nicks even pronounced the word “autobiographical” syllable per syllable-“auto-bio-graph-i-cal”-to emphasize.)

She made it clear that this new material will be different from more abstract compositions in the past:

“These are not ethere or vacancies, the ones you don’t know well about who they are. They are real stories, my memories of Men Fan-Tás-Ti -os.”
(Again, she highlighted the word “fantastic” syllable per syllable.)
Turning to Jimmy Iovine with a smile, he added: “You are the next.”

One of the tracks, according to Nicks, is about Princewith whom it had a close friendship. She remembered the night she watched the debut of Purple Rainin 1984.

“I was so disturbed by the scene where he slaps Apollonia that I went to the bathroom and stayed there the rest of the movie.”

Later, at the Postmer Party, Prince approached her to ask what she thinks of the movie. She said she saw only half, but still gave her a gift:

“A 24 carat necklace with small gold hearts.”

“And he replied, ‘I don’t want your necklace.’
“Then he said – and this is in the music, that’s where the album started – ‘You always bring me a gift; never brings you.’

On stage, Nicks shrugged and concluded:

“I said to myself, ‘I’m ready to write.’ And that’s what I’m doing now, so I can go back to the road and do what I love most: being a Chanteuse somewhere out there… and having fun.”

Stevie Nicks’s last solo album was 24 Karat Gold: Songs From The Vaultlaunched in 2014. His last studio work with the Fleetwood Mac he was Say you willin 2003. Although it has not released complete albums in over a decade, the singer presented some sporadic bands, such as “The Lighthouse”who played live in Saturday Night Live and in Jimmy Kimmel Live! Last year – a song reflecting on its reaction to the US Supreme Court decision that revoked the constitutional right to abortion.

By 2023, Nicks had already signaled that he was thinking of a new project. In an interview with Rolling Stoneeven play that the album could be called The Vampire’s Wife (although Nick Cave’s wife used the name before).

“I have many ideas of songs I want to do,” She said at the time. “There are songs I didn’t write, but they were composed of other people and I want to call and say, ‘I would like to sing this song with you. What do you think?’

“I wrote a song called ‘The Vampire’s Wife’, which, in my opinion, is one of the best I have ever done. Because it’s like ‘Rhiannon’, a character with character.”
