Talking about lighting the candle at both ends, Susanna Hoffs has done it all and still wants more. With nearly 4 decades in the business, Susanna is a busy woman with nothing but success spreading its wings mercifully in her path.
The 64-year old singer, songwriter, and now novelist is on an unbelievable ride with no signs of slowing down. And why should she? Susanna Hoffs has been rocking out since 1980, and now has a new album, “The Deep End” to accompany her first novel, ‘This Bird Has Flown’, which we hear a movie adaptation is already in the works.
“The Deep End”, is a 13-song collection of covers which touches on some of the most iconic tracks of all-time. Susanna’s deep rock roots mixed with a touch of pop. Susanna teased the album in early March with a release of a cover by The Rolling Stones’ 1966 hit, ‘Under My Thumb’. Produced by the legendary Peter Asher, “The Deep End” is a mirage of greatness, covering tunes from Leslie Gore, Ed Sheeran, Dodie, and the likes of Yazoo.
“The Deep End”, marks Susanna Hoffs second collection of covers, and her fifth solo album.
There have been a plethora of musicians that have made the transition to writing novels; however, for Susanna Hoffs, it’s a continuation of her artistry. In ‘This Bird Has Flown’, Susanna Hoffs writes with such elegance in an almost comedic tone. The novel follows the character Jane on a romantic destiny with stardom, but travels the road of despair to get there. Might sound familiar, but Susanna writing is like kryptonite, you are drawn in for more. A true love story that begs for romance. To sum it up, This Bird Has Flown is the Sleepless in Seattle with a musical plot.
A die-hard fan of the Beatles, the book is titled after one of the group’s popular songs.
