Coming on the heels of her 2019 album No Control, the inspiration for “My Heart and Soul” struck her like a bolt of lightning, and the result was shared on Friday in the form of a music video heavy on warm home movies and memories of the holiday season throughout the years:

Explained Suzi Quatro of the song’s process in a statement:

“So, lockdown had just begun. My son was in the studio working on ideas every day for our next album, a perfect opportunity as neither of us was ‘on the road’. I was sitting on the patio, relaxing, and heard this absolutely beautiful track coming out of the open studio door. It was a bass line, with a sparse guitar chord, and drums. It was immediate for me. I ran into the studio (mask on of course), and told my son to set up a microphone, and without thinking, without writing anything down, I sang the first 4 lines of the song exactly as they ended up. That`s when you know you have a great song … and we do. Merry Xmas everyone!“

Quatro’s 2019 album, No Control, featured 11 tracks showcasing her versatility and resilience over the years. If you haven’t yet given the record a listen, do so below via Spotify (and pick up a copy from our Rock Cellar Store by clicking here):
