Moore's private life has been much-discussed in the media, including her previous relationships to actors Wilmer Valderrama and Zach Braff, and tennis player Andy Roddick. Moore is scheduled to appear in several films over the course of 2006 and 2007. Briefly, her music career was on hold, having parted ways with her record company.
Moore stated in early 2006 that she missed her music career and that singing is what she is the "most passionate about". According to her official website, she is collaborating with artists including Chantal Kreviazuk, Michelle Branch, and Rachael Yamagata on a new album. Moore had signed to Epic Records after her contract with Sire Records ended, but left the company in May 2006. She reportedly signed with a new EMI Music-owned record company, The Firm, in July of that year. Moore had described her new contract as "especially exciting" and specified that she planned to release her next album in 2007.
The album, entitled "Wild Hope" was co-written by Mandy. It was recently released on June 19, 2007. A change of pace from her usually dance-pop sound, Mandy's new album features a more folk sound, and is a refreshing change.
Since the release of Moore's 2007 album, she has been performing in smaller venues than her early audiences are used to but is still making a huge wave in the music industry. Mandy Moore won't let us forget her quite yet. Moore's sixth studio album, Amanda Leigh, was released on May 26, 2009. As a follow-up over a decade later, through delays due to struggles with record companies and personal relationships as well as her success in acting on NBC series, This is Us, Moore finally put out her seventh studio album, Silver Landings, via Verve Forecast Records on March 6, 2020. All songs were co-written by Dawes lead-singer, Taylor Goldsmith, and producer, Mike Viola, with a few tracks including co-writers like Lori McKenna and Natalie Hemby (of The Highwomen).
Mandy Moore completed a residency of 4 nights at Los Angeles club, The Bootleg!, where she played with musical guests like Dan Wilson and aforementioned Natalie Hemby. Moore will tour the U.S. spring of 2020.
