As she prepares to release The List, her first album of all-new material since 2012’s Someday, former Bangle Susanna Hoffs has been reflecting on her storied career and discussing her encounters with a couple of music legends, both of whom she has a creative connection with.
Hoffs worked on The List with CJ Camerieri, a musician and producer who’s previously collaborated with Paul Simon and Bon Iver. And, speaking to the Los Angeles Times, she says that while staying with Simon on the Texas ranch that he shares with wife Edie Brickell – Brickell co-wrote What Are Wings For, the final track on The List – he revealed something to her.
