In a recent interview with Uvalde Radio Rocks, Lita Ford shared insights into the release date of her upcoming solo album, addressing the delays in following up her 2012 release, ‘Living Like A Runaway.’
Explaining the intricacies of navigating the modern music industry, she highlighted the need for all elements to align before unveiling the new record:
“Well, I just did an interview a little while ago and I was just saying that there’s a lot of pieces of the puzzle in moving forward with things, especially now in the music industry, there’s so many moving parts and stuff. So I just need to have all my ducks in a row before I try to release this record.”
Regarding the progress of the album, initially slated for 2023, Ford revealed:
“And I think just recently, I wanna say just over the last couple of weeks, the missing link and the biggest pieces of the puzzle, besides me, have been found. And we’re gonna be moving forward real soon with this record. Of course, the holidays always throw a wrench in the spokes. And so we’ve gotta kind of wait for the holidays to get over with. And then we get on with the rock and roll.”
While expressing optimism for a 2023 release, Ford acknowledged the impact of the holidays and hinted at a 2024 timeline:
“I think we’re gonna have a new Lita record in ’24. I was hoping for ’23, but I didn’t find those missing pieces of the puzzle. So, this year, we found them this Thanksgiving. So we’re on. We’re moving up.”
