“I haven’t been this excited about anything I’ve done since [1981’s] Bella Donna,” says Stevie Nicks, who is working on her first solo LP since 2001. The album is a collaboration with Eurythmics’ Dave Stewart, who co-wrote and co-produced the disc (Glen Ballard also worked on the recored). “It’s thrilling, because I’ve found a writing partner,” says Nicks. “I never thought that would happen, because I’ve never been into sharing songs.” The record, which Nicks hopes to put out next spring, doesn’t have a title yet but is full of atmospheric, moody rock & roll reminiscent of her best solo work. “For What It’s Worth” is a road song that Heartbreaker Mike Campbell contributed the music for, “In Your Dreams” is a supercatchy, uptempo cut, and “Italian Summer” is a grand, romantic ballad based on a trip Nicks recently took to Italy. “It’s so powerful,” she says. “That was a magical time that’s become a magical song.” She adds, “at a certain point, I’m going to get too old for this, but making this album really shows that I’m not done yet.”
