Singer-songwriter Rita Wilson released her new single “W.O.W. (Wild Ol’ Woman)” on Friday, June 6th.
This song is a galvanizing anthem of empowerment. Wilson co-write it with UPSAHL, and it was produced by Seth Alley, Peter “PeterFeelGood” Eddins and Wilson.
Wilson’s harking, raspy vocals on this track are reminiscent of Sherly Crow meets Chrissie Hynde of The Pretenders.
This new single is upbeat, vivacious, energetic, liberating, and a great deal of fun. Wilson brings out her inner country rocker.
“She’s a lightning bolt, striking at your back, the whole world’s watching, she should come with a warning. You ain’t seen nothing like a wild ol’ woman,” Wilson sings, from a bold female viewpoint.
Many female fans and listeners can relate to its unapologetic and genuine lyrics.
Regarding her inspiration for the song, Wislon remarked in a press statement, “I am in awe of women when they decide to get things done – whatever that may be- they’re just ‘WOW.’ The idea just kept coming back to me that the older we get, the more ‘WOW’ we become.”
“The better parts of us emerge, and when women reach that point, they become unstoppable,” she said. “I was hesitant to tell my co-writer UPSAHL the idea because I felt it was specific to me being not twenty-five. But she was emphatic about being any age and feeling like a wild ol’ woman. There is freedom in using your life’s experience,” Wilson elaborated.
Wilson is making her rounds in Nashville for a string of live shows. On June 5th, Wilson performed at the FEMCountry showcase series, alongside such artists as Abbey Cone, Brittney Spencer, Caylee Hammack, and Lucie Silvas.
This weekend she makes her return to the iconic CMA Fest, performing at Nissan Stadium tonight and on the Chevy Vibes Stage tomorrow on June 7th.
