Biography Flash Rick Rubin and Neil Diamonds Lost Album Wild at Heart Resurfaces After 18 Years

Rick Rubin, the legendary producer behind some of music's most iconic sounds, has been making waves this week with a blast from his past that's poised to reshape his biographical legacy. On March 23 and 25, multiple outlets including WDA Radio, River 1037, and Music Life Magazine reported Neil Diamond's bombshell announcement of Wild at Heart, a long-lost 2007 album Rubin co-created with the rock icon. This 10-track gem, featuring raw, stripped-down arrangements and Diamond's signature passion, rounds out their trilogy after 12 Songs in 2005 and Home Before Dark in 2008. Set for release on May 8 via Capitol UMe on CD, vinyl, and digital, with limited colored editions, it's the final unearthed session from their magical studio runs. Diamond gushed in a statement that his work with Rubin was a labor of love, thrilled to set these songs free after nearly two decades. A teaser trailer shows the duo reminiscing in the very studio where it all happened, hinting at Rubin's timeless production touch. Meanwhile, on March 24, Rubin's Tetragrammaton site dropped a fresh clip of him chatting with author Anne Lamott and Neal Allen about the essence of good work in today's creative chaos—pure Rubin wisdom on unlocking artistic gold. No public appearances or fresh social media buzz have surfaced in the last few days from verified sources, and nothing major in the past 24 hours.
