Today, with the release of her latest single “This Island,” Susanna Hoffs has shared another early look into The List, which is her new album of original music that will be out on September 18 and an invitation to her most intimate, frank and personal conversations. As for the music, the artist’s latest ditty finds Hoffs returning to the album’s recurring meditation on loneliness and connection, where a relationship is cast as a complicated triangulation.
Like all songs on the record, captured live in Hoffs’ Los Angeles home, it began by an artist and her closest friends gathering around the kitchen table and sharing the stories that define oneself from heartbreak to an empty nest, new crush, foolish mistakes and the fading memory of what that might have been. It is all part of The List, as Hoffs turns her deepest, decade-spanning memories into a collection of 12 songs that not only reflect what it has meant to be alive and in love, but turn the page to a new chapter in her astounding artistic legacy.
