Suzi Quatro reveals The Devil in Her
Written by Tony Wilson on March 9, 2021
In a 60 minute podcast for TotalRock, to be aired at 5pm on Wednesday 17th March, Suzi Quatro plays through her new album ‘The Devil In Me’ with Tina Saul and reveals the inspirations and motivations behind all the songs.
It’s got to be a very special release that has Suzi Quatro announce proudly: “The Devil In Me is the best album in my career to date!” After all, the American rock vocalist would hardly utter such superlatives lightly. Suzi’s enthusiasm for her latest offering has many reasons, twelve of them to be precise. Because The Devil In Me consists of exactly a dozen songs, each of them – from the opening track and title song to the final ‘Motor City Riders’ – a real highlight.
Suzi: “Starting spring 2020, almost one hundred of my shows were cancelled and Richard would also have been on tour with his band had not all concerts been cancelled or postponed. So I said to him: ‘We should make the most of our free time, write new material and allow ourselves to be inspired by the things that are currently going on in the world.’ I already knew that Richard and I make a brilliant team, after all No Control had been a major success and a very special recording for us. Although I would never have thought that we’d be able to surpass it. But everybody who’s heard The Devil In Me and all the people who had worked on the previous album have told us: ‘This album is even stronger!’ Richard wanted this album to have a through line, so that you could put any track on, and it just fit… he also said he wanted this album to be as important and groundbreaking as my first one. So that is how we approached this project, and that is what we accomplished.”
“The Devil In Me” is out on March 26th through SPV/Steamhammer – and can be heard and pre-ordered here. It will be available as CD DigiPak (incl. fold out poster) and a 2LP gatefold version (incl. 2 bonus tracks)
