During a conversation with Trib Live, the Heart singer declared that the industry is “unrecognizable” compared to when her band got started, noting that streaming and algorithms have shifted the power dynamic. “It doesn’t seem like it’s in the hands of humans these days,” Wilson opined. “I feel like it’s more or less been given to the computers to compartmentalize and pick apart all the music and decide which genre they’re part of and then to stick them in that li...

I mean, that’s really distracting, because you just want to sort of jump out of the way.” READ MORE: Ann Wilson Say...

Heart scored a bevy of hits in the ‘80s, yet Nancy Wilson believes one of their biggest successes “never felt like a Heart song.” During the ‘80s, Heart was routinely working with outside writers. The process yielded strong results, but it was also tedious. “We gave a lot of songs a good try,” Wilson noted during an appearance on the Broken Record podcast, recalling how she’d spend hours listening to demo cassettes. “There were some real turkeys.
