Ann Wilson is opening another chapter in a career that has stretched across more than five decades.
The Heart vocalist released Consecrated Ground on October 9, 2026, a new nine-track project made with Tripsitter that moves into psychedelic rock, blues and more reflective territory.
A different direction for the Heart icon
Wilson, whose powerhouse voice helped define Heart classics including Barracuda and Crazy on You, is using the new record to explore a sound distinct from the music that first made her famous.
The release arrives 51 years after Heart’s landmark debut album Dreamboat Annie, underscoring the remarkable length of Wilson’s recording career.
Wilson continues to evolve
Rather than relying only on nostalgia, Consecrated Ground gives the veteran singer space to work with new textures and emotional storytelling. The collaboration with Tripsitter also continues a creative relationship that has allowed Wilson to operate outside the familiar framework of Heart.
At 76, Wilson remains an active recording artist whose latest project connects her unmistakable voice with a more exploratory musical setting.
