Susanna Hoffs Announces Exciting New Album

Renowned for her pivotal role as a co-founder of the iconic band The Bangles, Susanna Hoffs is poised to make a significant return to the music scene with her highly anticipated album, _The List_. This marks her first collection of original material in over a decade, as she has not released a full album of new songs since 2009. Hoffs, who has been continuously involved in various projects, released a covers album titled _Bright Lights_ in 2021 and revived a long-shelved project, _The Lost Record_, in 2024. Now, with _The List_, Hoffs collaborates with an impressive array of artists including Rufus Wainwright, Edie Brickell, and Spencer Zahn, further enriching the album's creative depth.

Co-produced alongside CJ Camerieri, _The List_ is described by Hoffs as a musical representation of intimacy and storytelling, akin to gathering with close friends around a table. The album opens with the track "Casablanca," which draws inspiration from both the classic film and a memorable stroll through New Orleans' French Quarter with Grateful Dead guitarist Bob Weir in 1988, enhanced by the presence of a gathering of devoted fans. The track is available for listening now, setting the tone for the emotional journey that the album promises.

Tracklist and Upcoming Tour Information

The album consists of twelve compelling tracks that explore themes of love, loneliness, and reflection, showcasing Hoffs' signature lyrical style and melodic sensibility. The complete tracklist includes:
1. "Casablanca"
2. "Where Do We Go"
3. "None Of Them Were You"
4. "Time"
5. "Bad Case of Loneliness"

7. "Fool"
8. "Vertigo"
9. "This Island"
10. "Good Luck"

Hoffs will embark on a tour to promote _The List_, kicking off in Los Angeles on September 5 and spanning various cities including New York and Chicago, with notable performances alongside Billy Idol. The album is set to release on September 18 through her own Baroque Folk label, and fans can pre-order or pre-save the album through various music platforms.
