In The Spotlight
''In the Spotlight'' is the fifteenth studio album by the American singer-songwriter and bassist, bass guitar player Suzi Quatro. The seeds for the album were sown when Mike Chapman, Quatro's original producer and composer of most of her hits, approached her with plans to take her back to her roots. Their reunion resulted in this modern take on Quatro's original attitude, which shows the influence she has had on modern female artists. "Strict Machine", a song originally performed by Goldfrapp, even contains a two line teaser from Quatro's number one hit "Can the Can", to show the similarities of the two tracks. When the album was released, it received many positive reviews—''Mojo (magazine), Mojo'' rated the album three stars, while AllMusic rated it three-and-half stars out of five, commenting that except for one track, "''In the Spotlight'' is an impressive comeback, which admirably doesn't rely solely on nostalgia to make itself heard." In September and October 2011, soon ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
