Whatever Happened to Suzi Quatro? Nothing – She is Still Rocking!

It’s so great to share the new song by Suzi Quatro with you.  Yes, you read that correctly. She may have been “off scene” for a while, but the video for here new track, Freedom, shows that she still has rock and roll in her blood.  It’s seared so deeply into her DNA that as the song lyrics at one point suggest – the girl can’t help it.

Suzi Q has been defying stereotypes since the 1970s when she burst onto the music scene as a striking presence - a rare combination of superb beats, great vocals and a fantastic stage act.  So, it is also great to see a nod to her past in the video, with the help of a little artificial intelligence (and this isn’t AI slop when its used to such nostalgic effect).  The song itself is in the vein of her best tunes – lyrically straightforward, non-stop energetic and bursting with  uncompromising joie de vivre.  This is a singer-songwriter who is sublimely comfortable in her own skin and knows exactly what she wants to do and exactly how to do it.  Her performance here seems effortless; it’s simply Suzi Q being Suzi Q for three and a half fabulous minutes.

Released to help build anticipation for her 2026 gigs (she will  be starting off in Scotland in April, making her way through the UK and then over to Germany where the tour will conclude in Wetzlar on 31 October), Freedom feels very much like a celebration of both past and present.  As one of comments on YouTube says: “After all these decades Suzie Quatro still totally rocks and she's 100% unstoppable.”
