Sound of a Woman: Rita Wilson in Conversation with Demi Moore, Plus a Performance

The multi-talented Rita Wilson is releasing her sixth studio album, Sound of a Woman on May 1. Wilson will perform selections from the album and talk with longtime friend and Oscar-nominee Demi Moore about the making of the record and why now was the right time to release this raw, honest body of work as a very private person leading a very public life. Wilson’s soul-baring songwriting on Sound of a Woman is part unfiltered memoir, part nuanced observation of the world around her, exploring the arc of a woman’s life that unfolds as a moving narrative through this collection of songs. At the bloom of her music career, The New York Times noted, “Wilson has a catch in her voice that conveys yearning and potential heartbreak behind a facade of cheer.” Her eclectic musicality includes collaborations such as “Til You’re Home” from A Man Called Otto with Latin GRAMMY winner Sebastián Yatra, which was shortlisted for an Academy Award. “I write from a very personal place,” says Wilson. “Most of the time it starts with something I’m trying to understand in my own life. But my hope is always that if it feels honest to me, it might resonate with someone else too.” Wilson is also beloved for a multitude of roles in iconic films and TV shows such as Sleepless in Seattle and Girls, and the film producer behind the blockbuster franchises Mamma Mia! and My Big Fat Greek Wedding. Her Broadway roles include star turns in Larry David’s Fish in the Dark and Chicago.
