Released on June 10, 1983, Stevie Nicks' The Wild Heart featured an appropriately named song: "Nothing Ever Changes." The Fleetwood Mac chanteuse played to her strengths on this second solo album – and, in keeping with her status as one of the '80s biggest stars, she sold millions.
The songs, as on her 1981 solo debut Bella Donna, were largely straight-forward and pop chart-friendly, without the quirky mannerisms that often surrounded her work with Fleetwood Mac. So, we have a reference to that familiar white-winged dove from "Edge of Seventeen," this time on the Top 40 hit "Nightbird"; and a song that will remind diehards of her 1982 Mac hit "Gypsy" in "Sable on Blond."
Nicks once again asks a series of famous friends over to contribute, too – from Tom Petty ("I Will Run to You") to Mick Fleetwood ("Sable"), from the Eagles' Don Felder ("Nothing Ever Changes") to David Foster ("Nightbird").
But The Wild Heart was then, and is now, defined by its biggest hit – and it biggest risk: Her No. 5 hit "Stand Back," with its pulsing, stunningly disco-fied cadence, additional guitar work from Toto's Steve Lukather and uncredited appearance (both as impetus and as sideman) from Prince, would eventually chart for a total of 19 weeks, and sat in the Top 10 for six of them.
