Rock 'n' roll legend Suzi Quatro will release her new album, "Freedom", on March 27.
The LP's second single, "Little Miss Lovely", can be heard below.
In a recent interview with Dawn Osborne of TotalRock, Quatro stated about how she chose "Freedom" to be the first single and title of the upcoming album: "I was going through the master mixes, and the album was gonna be called 'Choose Yourself', which was the top song for a long time.
So I'm going through the mixes to approve, and this 'Freedom', it just kept coming out and smacking me in the face.
And I went, 'Okay, this is the first single, this is the title of the album.' And have you ever seen and heard a picture and a song, and a title that all says exactly the same thing? Doesn't it scream it to you freedom? Suzi also talked about the "Freedom" album cover, saying: 'Once I decided on that track for the single, I actually had a vision — [it was] so strange — a vision of this album cover and the single cover.
And I couldn't get it out of my mind.
So I put out little notes to all my people who photographed me for years.
I said, 'Here's what I'm looking for.' And so I have a girl in Australia who's done me for — I don't know — since the '80s.
And she had a photograph of me from the back with my bass on, on stage.
And the art team then got together and created the image around it.
And it's exactly the way I saw it in my mind's eye.
And it's important.' Elaborating on the lyrical inspiration for "Freedom", Suzi said: 'I'm 75.
I have achieved freedom in myself, in my attitude.
I've dropped my excess baggage.
I don't have that anymore.
I don't have anything to prove.
I'm comfortable in my skin.
So it's a very important personal thing.
Also, in this world we live in, I say freedom — what is more precious than freedom? Nothing.' After Osborne noted that Quatro still looks 'about 35, 40', Suzi concurred.
'I'm 75.
And you know what? I've always been lucky, to be honest, that I've always looked 10 years, at least, younger than what I am, always my whole life,' she said.
'So when I was first having hits in 1973, I was 23, but I looked like I was 13.
That's just the way it's always been.
They always told me, 'Your kind of face' — I've got a fleshy face and I've got a childish face, and I always wanted cheekbones, and I was always told, 'When you get older, you're gonna appreciate that so much because you're gonna age really, really well.' [Laughs] Okay, I appreciate it now.
But I never lie about my age.
I say it on stage.
I'm not chasing 25.
And I don't care.'
