Carnie Wilson on Legacy, Mental Health, and the Lost Classics of Wilson Phillips

Platinum-selling singer Carnie Wilson of Wilson Phillips sits down with Kyle Meredith ahead of her 2026 She Rocks Awards honor to talk about the full arc of her career — from the monster success of Wilson Phillips and the harmonies that defined a generation to the overlooked gems like Shadows And Light and the criminally underrated The Wilsons, which reunited her with her father Brian Wilson and let the band rock harder than anyone expected. Wilson opens up about mental health advocacy, sobriety, grief, OCD, motherhood, and why being honest has always mattered more than being polished. There’s also plenty of love for studio life, unreleased vault material, Christmas records, and the idea that history might finally catch up with the albums that slipped through the cracks the first time.
