Summing up her aims with the album, Chrissie told us; "I wanted to make a power pop album you could dance to - Abba meets John Lennon". I think life is serious, and you should take it seriously, but in rock n roll either have a laugh or don't come to the party.so much of rock n roll has become what I would call Glory Rock, with family values. It's the irreverence in rock that was always the turn on".
