Introducing 'The List' – A Journey Through Heartfelt Stories

Susanna Hoffs, the celebrated co-founder and frontwoman of the iconic band The Bangles, is set to captivate audiences once more with her forthcoming album, titled The List, which is scheduled for release on September 18th under her own record label, Baroque Folk. This album represents a collection of original music that encapsulates some of the most intimate and personal narratives that define Hoffs’ life. It is a heartfelt compilation that explores themes such as heartbreak, new beginnings, and reflections on past relationships, all told through the lens of her rich, decade-spanning experiences.

In The List, Hoffs invites listeners into a cozy setting where she and her closest friends gather around a kitchen table, sharing the poignant stories that have shaped their lives. The album features twelve compelling tracks, each reflecting the essence of love, loss, and resilience, marking a new chapter in Hoffs' illustrious artistic journey. Collaborating with renowned artists such as Rufus Wainwright, Dan Wilson, and Edie Brickell, the album was recorded live in Hoffs' Los Angeles home and produced by CJ Camerieri, known for his work with Bon Iver and Paul Simon.

Lead Single 'Casablanca' and Tour Highlights

Out now, the lead single from the album, "Casablanca", co-written with Dan Wilson and CJ Camerieri, serves as a poignant reflection on unfinished romances and the passage of time. The inspiration for the song draws from both a nostalgic rewatch of the classic film Casablanca and an unforgettable encounter Hoffs had with Grateful Dead's Bob Weir during an impromptu stroll through New Orleans in 1988. This track encapsulates the theme of possibility and the wistfulness of what could have been, setting the tone for the rest of the album.

As the album release approaches, Hoffs is also gearing up for an extensive tour across the United States. Highlights include a five-night residency at New York City’s prestigious Café Carlyle and performances at major festivals such as Sea.Hear.Now. Fans can expect an engaging experience as Hoffs and her talented band, including CJ Camerieri, Ryan Lerman, and Spencer Zahn, bring the songs from The List to life on stage. With a mix of storytelling and live music, these performances promise to be deeply resonant and memorable.
