Neil Diamond<\/a> has announced the release of\u00a0Wild at Heart, his 2007 album crafted with Rick Rubin.<\/p>\n

Arriving on May 8th via Capitol\/UME,\u00a0Wild at Heart\u00a0features 10 previously unreleased tracks from Diamond\u2019s sessions with Rubin for the 2008 project Home Before Dark. That record was Diamond\u2019s second with the lauded producer, following 2005\u2019s 12 Songs. Now, the final collection of songs from their collaborative streak will be unearthed. \u201cMy work with Rick was a labor of love,\u201d Diamond said in a statement, \u201cand I\u2019m so gratified that these songs will finally be set free into the world to complete our trilogy of work.\u201d<\/p>\n

Diamond has also shared a trailer for the upcoming release; it depicts him sitting with Rubin in the same studio where they recorded Wild at Heart in and reflecting on the album\u2019s creation all those years ago. \u201cYou wrote a lot of songs in a brief window, there,\u201d Rubin said. \u201cYou were on fire.\u201d \u201cI couldn\u2019t stop myself, it was a good feeling,\u201d Diamond replied. \u201cI was living with these songs for about a year. They were part of my everyday life.\u201d Watch the trailer for\u00a0Wild at Heart\u00a0below.<\/p>\n

For a preview of\u00a0Wild at Heart, Diamond has revealed the album\u2019s title track along with a video of him performing the song during the album\u2019s creation nearly 20 years ago. With acoustic warmth and folk flourishes, Diamond promises that if you\u2019re with him, you\u2019re with someone who\u2019s wild at heart: \u201cI\u2019m wild at heart\/ Waiting for a rodeo\/ Heading out to parts unknown\/ That\u2019s the only way I\u2019m goin’\u201d he sings. Stream the new song below.<\/p>\n

Diamond may be relatively inactive due to his health issues<\/a>, but he\u2019s been keen on celebrating his lengthy catalogue and impact on music. His songs were the subject of the recent film\u00a0Song Sung Blue<\/a>, a musical drama starring Hugh Jackman and Kate Hudson as they travel the country in a Neil Diamond cover band. His discography and life also formed the basis of\u00a0A Beautiful Noise, a jukebox musical that opened on Broadway in 2022.<\/p>\n
