Wild Hope is the fifth studio album released by American singer Mandy Moore. It will be released via her new label, The Firm Records; a division of EMI.
[edit] About the album
After a break from music that found her concentrating on building her acting reésumé, Moore is back with that album, which she's tentatively, tellingly titled "Wild Hope". Slated for release in April of 2007, it will be the first of Moore's efforts on which she either wrote or co-wrote every song.
Moore began writing material for "Wild Hope" more than two years ago and when the time was right, headed to Allaire Studios in Shokan, New York, where she'd spent seven weeks tracking with producer John Alagia (Dave Matthews Band, Liz Phair). Moore said she brought 18 completed tunes into the studio with her, some of which she'd worked on with singer/songwriters like Rachael Yamagata, Chantal Kreviazuk and Lori McKenna, or indie pop-folk duo The Weepies, all of whom she said she's a "humungous fan" of.
Fans will be hearing a different Mandy on "Wild Hope" — not the "Candy" Mandy they might have grown up with. She said that her love of folk did seep into some of the tracks, and she had to take the chance of it not connecting with her old fans.
What Moore's most excited about is performing the material live. When she first started out in the business, Moore said she was mostly an opening act for boy bands. But this time around, she's going to be headlining — just not in arenas.
