Full account
Lita Ford has released “Dracula”, the first single from an upcoming album and her first full-length follow-up to 2012’s Living Like a Runaway. The track arrived on 27 October through Frontiers Music, the label Ford recently joined. The new album has not yet been given a title.
Ford describes the song’s central figure as an entity that uses seduction and control before draining a person’s life. She also frames the idea as a playful fantasy about flirting with danger. The recording features Ford with guitarist and producer Gary Hoey, who also plays on the track, and drummer Bobby Rock. Hoey produced it, while Max Norman handled the mix.
The release marks the start of a new chapter after a lengthy gap between albums. Ford has said she wanted a label and team able to support the record’s promotion. In an earlier account of the signing, Frontiers Label Group general manager Jeff Stevenson welcomed her to the company and praised her continuing creative work as well as her influence as a rock musician.
Ford has previously said the completed album includes a duet with German singer Doro Pesch and another song co-written with Jean Beauvoir. The single also precedes two scheduled Halloween-weekend performances: Las Vegas on 30 October and Rancho Mirage, California, on 31 October. Its dark subject and release timing give it an evident seasonal connection.
Where outlets differ
From the full account, which is AI-written from the sources:
The first report identifies the album as the follow-up to 2012’s Living Like a Runaway, and supplies production credits, Ford’s comments on the label signing, and details about the album’s guests. The second calls the record untitled and focuses more on the track’s sound and its timing before two Halloween shows.
The second report characterises the track as heavy rock with a driving disco beat and a strong 1980s guitar-rock feel; the first does not offer that musical description. The first instead includes additional background on the album and Frontiers’ welcome.
