Rita Wilson has built a remarkable second act in music, establishing herself as a powerful force through four albums, global performances, and collaborations with celebrated artists. With each project she has deepened her artistry, blending heartfelt storytelling with a love for classic songwriting.
Her ambitious new album, Rita Wilson Now & Forever: Duets, cements her place in today’s musical landscape. Co-produced with GRAMMY Award-winning producer Matt Rollings, the record highlights Wilson’s gifts as an interpretive singer while honoring the music that shaped her. Revisiting timeless songs from the 1970s, Wilson transforms them into intimate duets, her crystalline voice intertwining with some of the greatest male vocalists of our time.
The tracklist is a set of modern standards, including enduring favorites like “Without You,” “Where Is the Love,” “Let It Be Me,” and “If.” The roster of partners—Willie Nelson, Jackson Browne, Josh Groban, Tim McGraw, Smokey Robinson, Elvis Costello, Keith Urban, Leslie Odom Jr., Vince Gill, and Jimmie Allen—reflects the admiration Wilson has earned across genres and generations.
For Wilson, the project is not only a collaboration with musical legends but also a heartfelt homage to the melodies and lyrics that defined her youth. “I wanted to honor where I came from with songs from the Seventies,” she explains. “It was about showing appreciation for the songwriting of that period—how these songs are still relevant even fifty years later.”
Rita Wilson Now & Forever: Duets showcases her artistry and devotion to timeless music, presenting familiar classics in a fresh, resonant way. It is both a celebration of the past and a statement of her enduring relevance. With the release of her new single, “It’s Too Late,” Wilson continues to shine as an artist whose voice and vision only grow stronger with time.
