Project with Greg Kurstin
 

https://retropopmagazine.com/stevie-...fleetwood-mac/

In a taped video from May, Stevie said she was working with Greg Kurstin.

What happened with Dave? Remember when she said I'll never work on a record without Dave. This is her second project with Greg rather than Dave.

A new album, some tracks for an FM project, or just a one-off for a soundtrack or something. Hmm.

Are you being real, mitzo? Cmon with that. If Mac was doing something, Campbell would produce and if needed, Neil would co-produce.

I'd say new Stevie album. She's got tour dates this summer fall so I'm guessing she'll want to play new stuff. I don't think Show Them the Way would work well in a festival setting unless it's significantly rocked up.

Or rewritten entirely....:]

Ok, this guy is a really good producer. I didn't like the song Show Them The Way but I liked how it was produced. I hope he can reign her in and shorten her songs and make them more to the point. I don't want another Show Them The Way, but this producer did a good job. I also hope he puts a filter on her voice because of her age.

I was imagining her co-writing with this guy and doing demos for an FM album. But yeah, the most unlikely scenario of all for sure.

Maybe she wants him to rearrange and possibly produce her Rhiannon material, to give it a contemporary rock and roll sound. That would be fascinating to hear, in my opinion, and I’d really look forward to it. (All those songs can be done differently from lugubrious piano ballads.) She ought to hop on that if she ever wants it to see the light of day.

Co-writing...hmmm, I'd say co-producing with Karen:D

It be cool if she came out with an advocacy song for Pride Weekend!

she has consistently griped about not having time for that project "so many things to do" and then the universe gives her a gift of a WHOLE FRIGGING YEAR where she couldn't tour if she wanted to, and if she wanted to record she'd have to do it at home... so why not use all that free time (remember the whole buying a trailer in Malibu and living alone by the sea??? Seems like her apartment overhanging the PCH with it's great sea views would work just as well). Instead she b*tched about being soooooooo bored during COVID and not being able to go out. Her writing days are DONE. She could have worked all sorts of sh^t for the Rhiannon project.. wasn't she talking like a Broadway show in recent years?? NADA. She even moaned in several interviews about being bored with her housemates... and snapping at them when they suggested it was a good time to record a bunch of stuff that to do that SHE was the one on the hook to write whatever material so they could record it and they just didn't realize how HARD it is to do..... Remember when she told us HERSELF what a "prolific" songwriter she was, songs just POURING out of her every night and day... Clearly that's dried up. COVID would have been a perfect time to work out a plan for Rhiannon. I'm betting if not now, never.

You may be wrong. Consider the fact that Show Them Way was a song she wrote a long time ago and she was really happy with the way he produced it. I think that she may want him to produce other songs from the past that she has written because she liked what he did with Show Them the Way.

Also, Kurstin has won Record and Album of the year before. He has also produced numerous hits and I think that this is the type of person Stevie would want for her Rhiannon project.

Chiffons would say to this that she spent the lockdown getting the 24 Karat Gold Tour video ready for theatrical and album release. And she even managed to release a new song!

Name 3 solo albums where she had the same producer exclusively on each of the 3 albums. Show Them the Way is terrible. I think I would rather have another tonsillectomy than listen to an entire album of that .

I'm just taking what she said in her promo for IYD. Dave was responsible for the best year of her life.

Doesn't $he sleep with all of the producers, and that's why they end their musical relationship with her?

It’s not the production. The song was terrible. There has been no growth. She sucks.

Sir, could I purchase you the drink of your choice?:cool:

So either way the album will be an unlistenable dud..unless she does all covers and they tweak her vocals to kingdom come.

Maybe co-writing will help.

:(

There was a time when everything Stevie released was golden. I don't expect it anymore. She's best at harmonizing on somebody else's record these days. She's dumb for not recording with FM. That would be her best hope to release something worthwhile to listen to.

Her ego has overridden her common sense.

She has been talking about the Rhiannon movie...

...for the last 40 years! LOL. I would love to see all the songs of Rhiannon on an album. Maybe someone (Greg? Dave? Sheryl?) could take the old demos and clean them up a bit?

Now it's a series. And she did say she agreed to a studio. Perhaps this is the project.

I'd prefer an album. I can watch The Witcher or Maleficent for a Rhiannon film:laugh:

43 years to be exact:lol: Yeah they should use the vocals on the demos . To try and record the songs now with her current voice would be an abomination.

Yes..please use original vocals or scrap the project…with all due respect.😎

Free Brittany!!!!!!!!!!!!!

best guess is it would be with Ryan Murphy for Netflix

Isn't Ryan Murphy always with 20th Century Fox, which owns FX ?

he has a 300 million deal with Netflix
I’m sure he has a lot more content to produce for them
and he and she are “friends”
just my guess
he has a house where I live
I’m hoping to run into him to ask about this

I don't know if I'd be excited about a Rhiannon movie, series, play or anything. The song was even not inspired on the actual welsh legend. She just found the name, beautiful, after reading a novel, not the legend (though the characters are the same, or so I read), and she wrote the song.

Anyway, what story would be that in the movie or series?? I guess it would be another try like taking to Broadway Queen's or Rod Stewart's songs. Though I admit I've not seen those, I believe the only truly success of that idea was Mamma Mia, and shouldn't have been copied.

I'll be really surprised if this amounts to anything more than a single song for a soundtrack or something, or one new track to add to yet another compilation/retrospective. I think if she were working on an album or a film or something we would have more news than this.

Dave Stewart was all about sharing updates from 24 Karat recording but Kurstin may be a top secret guy.
I still think album. The handful of shows she's doing this year fits very well with the happenings of 2010... she did like 8 shows while recording IYD.

And I doubt soundtrack. She hates giving songs to movies

but this wouldn't be just any movie, it would be her movie... well, likely they'd built it out of Evangeline Walton's story which Stevie bought the rights to.

in may 2020 she was saying:

Stevie Nicks is hard at work amid the current coronavirus pandemic, working on both a book and a movie inspired by Fleetwood Mac's 1975 hit, "Rhiannon."

Speaking to Rolling Stone, Nicks, 71, revealed that working on the book and movie had already been her priority after Fleetwood Mac finished touring as part of their An Evening with Fleetwood Mac trek in late 2019.

"Last year, I made a pitch to everybody that when this Fleetwood Mac tour is over, I’m taking next year off because I want to work on my Rhiannon book/movie," she shared.

"And I want to maybe work with some different producers … I don’t know what I want to do! I just know that I don’t want a tour," she added.

Inspired by the book Triad by Mary Bartlet Leader about a woman named Branwen who is possessed by another woman named Rhiannon, the song was written by Nicks and originally recorded by Fleetwood Mac on their eponymous album in 1975.

While speaking with the publication, Nicks also noted that she has "Rhiannon"-related poetry that she has been working on for decades that she hopes to record while in lockdown.


"I have some Rhiannon poetry that I have written over the last 30 years that I’ve kept very quiet," she shared.

"I’m thinking, 'Well here I have all this time and I have a recording setup.’ And I’m thinking I’m going to start doing some recording. I’m going to start putting some of these really beautiful poems to music, and I have the ability to record them. So that’s on my to-do list."

She added, "What all we have right now, if you’re home in quarantine, is time, unless you’re taking care of kids. So, really, you could do anything you wanted that you’ve been wanting to do your whole life. So that’s how I’m trying to look at it." (https://people.com/music/stevie-nick...d-coronavirus/ )

And just 8 months ago she was talking about making it a tv series instead and picking who'd she want to cast:
LA TIMES Oct 1, 2020 "The moonlight confessions of Stevie Nicks"

When she wrote the song "Rhiannon" in 1973, she had little knowledge of the folklore behind the name. But five years later, a fan sent her four paperback novels in a Manila envelope — author Evangeline Walton's adaptation of the ancient British Mabinogion. Nicks was so transfixed by the literature that she eventually bought the rights to Walton's work in the hopes of bringing the epic to the big screen.

Because of the scope of the story, it was later decided that the movie should be a television miniseries, and earlier this year Nicks says she finally signed a deal with a studio to make it. She has 10 songs that she's never released, still on cassette tapes in a suitcase, set aside specifically for the project.

Despite her 2014 turn on "American Horror Story," Nicks has no plans to play a major role in the miniseries, though she's not opposed to the idea of "riding by on a white horse or something." She won't dish on her dream cast but says that Harry Styles "is definitely in the running."

Who's holding their breath?

$he's been talking about this project for 45 years. FORTY FIVE MF YEARS. :lol::lol::lol:

I'm waiting for the sequel Sister Honey

Yep, made me laugh out loud!!:laugh:

And for 45 years I've said there's never going to be a Rhiannon movie. And for all this talk about Stevie working on a new project with a new producer, none of it means anything to me so far. She has worked with other producers and ended up disliking their outcomes. So whatever this is, I'll believe it when I see it and hope to God I'll enjoy what I'm hearing. I'd still love to hear all the songs she recorded with Dallas Austin all those years ago.

Well, $he's full of sh*t, and full of herself.

$he should be embarrassed, but $he even lacks the capacity for that, these days.

I agree with VivFox- release the Dallas Austin Tapes! As with most of the music Stevie has scrapped over the years, it's probably really good!
