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.
