Mandy Moore Working On 70s Inspired Album

Mandy Moore recently revealed that she’s working on a new album! This time around Moore says she’s inspired by the 70s.

“I’m stuck in the ’70s. I think it’ll always have that kind of influence. Joni Mitchell, Todd Rundgren, Harry Nilsson, McCartney – that’s the sort of stuff I’m really inspired and influenced by.”

Asked if the project has a title, she admitted: “No, it’s still too early. That always comes at the end for me. I can’t go into having a collection of songs and already have a name for it. I’m not necessarily sure what it will sound like but I definitely have enough to write about.”

On whether the album will continue to move away from the “Factory-line pop” of her earlier work, she said: “I hope so. Factory-line pop, I like that. Gosh, that’s where I started as a kid when you don’t have any creative input or input at all. That’s what ends up happening. It’s nice to have the control to make choices now.”
