With a week to go before the release of indie flick A Simple Wedding, Rita Wilson, who appears in the movie, has released "Heart Unknown" from the film.
"Heart Unknown" was written by Wilson, Kara DioGuardi, Mozella, and Josh Alexander especially for A Simple Wedding and is featured within the movie itself. In the mid-tempo song Wilson sings in the chorus, "I have a heart, heart unknown/ I never know where it’s taking me/ And I have a heart, heart unknown/ Underneath, underneath yeah/ Still beating/ Underneath, underneath/ Still beating."
Rita tells iHeartRadio of the song and the movie, "This was such a great team of creative people and so many women! Everyday, heading to set, I'd be thinking, 'I'm having the best time!' It was a joy being able to write and sing the song "Heart Unknown" from the movie, and work with such a collaborative group. The movie explores romance in an unconventional way, which was one of the things that attracted me to the script. I seriously loved going to work everyday."
A Simple Wedding is about a young Iranian-American woman named Nousha Hassani whose traditional Muslim family is hoping for her to find the perfect Persian husband. However, Nousha meets and falls in love with a bisexual artist named Alex Talbot, and the couple ends up living together. Once Nousha's parents discover that the are moved in together, things get hectic as they prepare for their wedding with both of their respective families.
