December 23, 2006 - Mandy Moore tells MTV.com her love of folk music did seep into some of the tracks on her forthcoming album, tentatively titled 'Wild Hope', due out in April 2007. "I love the music I love, and I wanted to make an organic, fresh, live-sounding pop record unlike what's out there now," she said. "People will take what they want to take from the lyrics. I don't live my life too much in the public eye, relatively speaking, so I can escape a little bit of that scrutiny. But it is a personal record and it's my first songwriting stab at things, so the lyrics are about what's been going on in my life the last two years, and how I feel about life and love and figuring out who I am and where I fit in. I definitely tried to not take the easy road, and I'm very proud of it. I pushed myself to say exactly what I wanted to say." Read more.
