Mandy Moore makes new music in the studio as she documents ‘recording in the age of COVID’

Mandy Moore shared a shot of herself in a recording studio as she got to work on Monday.

Moore, 36, captioned the Instagram Stories shot, ‘Recording in the age of COVID’ as she got comfortable in the studio. She noted that she wasn’t wearing a mask as she was properly isolated from others.

The This Is Us star has been refocused on her musical efforts in recent months, after years solely devoted to acting.

Moore and her spouse, musician Taylor Goldsmith, 34, have performed in remote sessions on IGTV amid the ongoing coronavirus quarantine via their Live from Home shows.

Moore decided to begin the series of streaming shows when her musical tour was canceled in the wake of the pandemic.

Moore in her career has released seven studio album, with the most recent coming in March with the release of Silver Landings. (Her last release was the 2009 album Amanda Leigh.)

The beauty earlier this year spoke with NPR about why she was excited to reconnect with her musical roots, as she did not put out any new material over the last decade.

‘I’m incredibly lucky to be part of a show and experience like this is This Is Us,’ said Moore, who plays Rebecca Pearson on the critically-acclaimed NBC series. ‘But there is a vulnerability in being able to express yourself as an artist with your music and your own words; you’re not necessarily hiding behind a character, per se.’

She continued: ‘That’s what I think that I’ve really longed for and missed from making music for the last decade: There’s a whole huge component to who I am that’s kind of been dormant.

‘And now I feel like this fully realized version of myself, making music again.’
