Song is from forthcoming Fierce Bliss album
Ann Wilson has released “A Moment in Time,” the latest single from her forthcoming Fierce Bliss album, set for release on April 29th via Silver Lining Music.
“‘A Moment In Heaven’ tells the story of a one-hit-wonder in the star-maker machinery of Hollywood: the sublime cruelty of transient fame,” Wilson shares.
The song carries a specific point of reference for Wilson but could easily apply to anyone who has seen their career suddenly bathed in a bright beam of glory before the spotlight is abruptly moved elsewhere. “It’s one of those anti-Hollywood screed things,” offers Wilson, “the meat grinder of the music image maker machine and what it feels like to be on the inside of that. All of a sudden, it’s ‘happening’ on all thrusters, you’ve got a number one record and everyone’s pouring champagne telling you how much you ‘deserve this.’ You’re in heaven! But then the cruel reality comes down… what’s the next one? Can you follow that? It’s all about the short-lived glamour and ecstasy of being successful in the rock business.”
Fierce Bliss is not just an album for fans of Ann Wilson and Heart, it is an album for everyone seeking a lavish ticket out of the sharp edges of an increasingly fraught society. The album also marks perhaps the first time in her illustrious career that Wilson has truly felt the wind in her wings, something which might seem a strange statement given her pioneering history.
This summer, Wilson will hit the road with her new band for An Evening with Ann Wilson of Heart & The Amazing Dawgs Tour. Dates start May 4th and are scheduled through July 30th with more to be announced.
