Lita Ford Eyes September Release for New Studio Album

Hard rock royalty Lita Ford is finally pushing her latest studio effort through the bureaucratic meat grinder of the music industry. In a recent chat with Rebel Radio, the icon revealed she is currently battling the inevitable paperwork hurdles of record labels, with fingers crossed for a triumphant September release.

If the timeline holds, the queen is prepared to hit the road and crank the volume to eleven. The upcoming record serves as a follow-up to 2012's 'Living Like A Runaway', once again helmed by producer and guitarist Gary Hoey. Ford describes her creative process as stubbornly old-school; she isn't interested in modern tech gimmicks, preferring to capture raw riffs the moment they strike like lightning.

The 80s queen is ready to unleash a 'dark fairytale' of heavy riffs and high-octane rock.

While some fans might have had to wait until 2026 for a full-length release, the push for a September debut suggests the momentum is building. The album features heavy hitters like a 'powerful' collaboration with Doro Pesch and a track featuring Jean Beauvoir. With legendary producer Max Norman handling the mix, Ford insists the record will be a cohesive, high-quality piece of rock and roll that doesn't let up.
