In The Spotlight
CHERRY RED, 2011
Mike Chapman pursued Quatro determined to make an album that would return her to her roots. To highlight her strengths and enduring influence. To make an intrinsically Suzi Q record for the 21st century (that didn’t try too hard to mirror mainstream tastes). In so doing he produced one of her most assuredly on-trend records in decades.
Quatro sounds at home and relaxed, never more so than on an outstanding romp through a decidedly Can The Can-alike version of Goldfrapp’s Strict Machine. Elsewhere, A Girl Like Me swaggers, Rosie Rose reeks of teen spirit, and a decidedly sassy Breaking Dishes spits fire.
