Suzi Quatro to Release New Single taken from Her latest Album ‘NO CONTROL’

Even in the highly adrenaline-fuelled music business, it’s rare to find a bundle of energy on a par with Suzi Quatro. The American rock vocalist has successfully worked as a musician for more than fifty years, delivering with unbridled energy her greatest hits such as “Can The Can‟, “48 Crash‟ and “Devil Gate Drive‟, which made her an icon in the 1970s, and wowing
her fans again and again with her new material. So, it comes as no surprise that she’s not thinking of retiring. “I’ll retire when I go onstage, shake my ass, and there is silence”

2019 saw the arrival of Suzi’s latest studio album, simply entitled No Control in line with her need for artistic freedom, on SPV/Steamhammer. Almost simultaneously, the singer/musician set off on an extensive European & World tour. No doubt about it: 2019 has been another Suzi year, and there’s still more to come!

Check out the lead single, ‘No Soul/No Control’ from the album below:

Suzi Quatro presents eleven new songs (plus two bonus tracks) on No Control. The majority of the material consists of collaborations with her son from her first marriage, Richard Tuckey. Suzi explains: “This was our first attempt at writing and recording something together. The creative progress began with “Don’t Do Me Wrong‟. And, through this unusually beautiful English summer of 2018, we sat outside, acoustic bass, acoustic guitar, iPad recording app, and lots of paper, throwing ideas back and forth.”

With amazing results, as the new album proves – to Suzi herself not only on a musical but also on a personal level. For example, on No Soul/No Control‟, the first single to be released which features the message “Don`t let go of yourself for anyone”. Suzi: “This is my personal mantra. All you
have in this world is you.” Remembering the conception of the number, she says: “We were busy as hell, buried in the songs. Richard had a new idea and showed me. It was very unusual, and I liked it. A very basic guitar and drum track was put down for me to work on the melody and lyric. I went into the living area of the studio and about 15 minutes later, it was done. It flew out of its own accord, as the best songs do.”

The new single is called ‘Heart On The Line’ and is only available as a bonus track on the vinyl. Suzi comments:

“I wrote and produced this song especially for the new album, NO CONTROL. It was originally an unplugged cut just on the vinyl. Then, how these things go…the public took over at concerts…the song went down a storm at the end of the show, and it was decided by all concerned to re-record …which I did, taking it from unplugged to plugged and back again, it is now an emotional epic. In fact, it is MY HEART ON THE LINE.”
