Speaking on stage at the Pollstar Music Awards, Stevie explained: ""I'm actually making a record right now. I call it the ghost record because it just kind of happened in the last couple weeks.
“I have seven songs, and they are autobiographical real stories,” she added, noting that she’s calling the project “The Ghost Record” for now. “I’m not pulling any punches for probably the first time in my life. They are not airy-fairy songs. … They’re real stories of memories of mine of fantastic men.”
Notably, Prince was inspired by her song, ‘Edge of Seventeen’, when making ‘When Doves Cry’, and Nicks also credits ‘Little Red Corvette’ as the fuel she needed to write ‘Stand Back’.
There is a general theme running through the album, as Nicks celebrates different men who have played pivotal parts in her life, such as Prince.
"Because of the fires in California I was sitting in a hotel for 92 days, and at some point during that last part of the 92 days I said: 'You know what? I feel like I'm on the road but there's no shows.'
"I'm just sitting here by myself because everybody else is at the house doing all the remediations and everything and it's just me sitting here and I thought: 'You need to go back to work.' And I did, and I have seven songs."
Nicks reminisced about going to the premiere of 1984’s “Purple Rain,” Prince’s semi-autobiographical musical drama in which he starred. She said she tried to give him a gold necklace after the screening, but he refused the gift, telling her, “I don’t want your necklace. You always bring me a gift. You never bring me you.”
"They're not airy fairy songs where you're wondering who they're about but you don't really get it. They're real stories of memories of mine of fantastic men."
Stevie's home was still standing after the fires and she previously thanked the firefighters who saved the property during her performance at the FireAid benefit concert in Los Angeles earlier this year.
She told the audience: "Knowing that I was a full-on Pacific Palisadean woman with an old, beautiful, famous house that was almost taken from me as the fire came up the hill behind my house.
"And I was pretty sure, as they whisked me away and evacuated me - my least favorite word now - to another safe place, that when I turned around and looked my house would be up in flames ...
"[But the house] stands strong, just like her mom. And in my opinion, she saved that whole street."
She dedicated her performance of her track 'Landslide' to the firefighters who saved her home.
