Susanna Hoffs catches up with Kyle Meredith to talk about her new album, The Deep End, and new book, This Bird Has Flown.
The Bangles co-founder tells us about the novel’s one-hit-wonder narrative and taking from her experiences as a musician during the writing process. She also shares that she has already confirmed the movie rights, gotten deep into the script, and reached out to Taylor Jenkins Smith (Daisy Jones & the Six) and other music-fiction writers.
On the subject of music-fiction, Hoffs offers up what she believes to be the best of the best: This is Spinal Tap. “I’ll tell you the thing I always say to people when they say, ‘What’s it like being in a band?’ And I always say, ‘Watch Spinal Tap,'” she says. “Spinal Tap is a must-see for anyone who wants to see a great example of an accurate rock and roll story.”
Hoffs also dives deep into her new LP — which finds her covering Billie Eilish, Joy Oladokun, Squeeze, Yazoo, and Jason Schwartzman — working with Peter Asher, and questions why she’s looked at as a covers artist when people like Elvis and Sinatra aren’t.
