Rita Wilson has released her stirring new single Jury of One, a raw and relatable ode to the pressure women feel to “do it all” — and the guilt that comes with it.

The track is the latest preview of the 69-year-old singer, actress and producer's upcoming album Sound of a Woman, arriving May 1, and lands alongside a cinematic music video filmed at Storm King Art Center in New York.
Hollywood star Rita says Jury of One was born from a lifetime of apologising for simply existing under impossible expectations.She admitted: “It’s so hard to devote my attention to something without feeling guilty about all the things I’m not doing.
In a powerful tribute to Women’s History Month, BMI recently hosted an intimate musical celebration featuring the multi-talented singer, songwriter, and actress Rita Wilson. Held at BMI’s Los Angeles office on March 24, the event served as an exclusive first look at Wilson’s highly anticipated sixth studio album, Sound of a Woman, set for global release on May 1.
A breathtaking entry point for the album, the title track “Sound of a Woman” opens with a majestic swell of strings that soon recede to spotlight the quiet intensity of Wilson’s voice.
As it unfolds through scenes of hidden pain and heartbreak, its piano-driven arrangement gathers a potent momentum—eventually building to a glorious crescendo graced with sublime gospel harmonies. “To me the choir on this song feels like an exaltation,” says Wilson.
“Their voices represent all the people who’ve helped you get to a place of self-acceptance; they could be the artists who’ve inspired you, everything you’ve read, everything you’ve lived through. The idea is that all that power is available to you, somewhere deep within you, and it can no longer be contained.”
The singer adds: “I’ve come to a stage in my life where I’m only now just finding my voice, both metaphorically and literally. Many times, I’ve felt muted, not necessarily by the world itself, but by my own sense of propriety as a very private person in a very public life and profession. Finally, I asked myself, ‘Does anyone actually know what I think or how I feel about anything?’ Understanding and accepting that everything that life has thrown at me, as painful as some of it has been, has brought me to a place where I am more fully myself. I don’t think I am unique in that experience.”
