The Bangles’ Susanna Hoffs dives into her personal archive of unreleased gems with The Lost Record, a collection of tracks from the late '90s that are only now seeing the light of day. Chatting with Kyle Meredith, Hoffs recounts how this “lost” album came to be, from its serendipitous origins in her garage to collaborating with the likes of the Tuesday Night Music Club crew, the same musical collective that brought Sheryl Crow's debut album to life. Reflecting on the project’s sound and era, Hoffs talks about her fascination with the ‘90s zeitgeist, Nirvana's influence, and how the garage band feel led to songs like "Under a Cloud," later re-recorded by The Bangles. Among the album's nostalgic gems is a subtle nod to Prince, who famously gifted The Bangles their hit "Manic Monday" in the ‘80s. Recently, Hoffs posted a photo of the original cassette tape from Prince, which bore not only "Manic Monday," but also a second track named "Jealous Girl." Hoffs, who hadn’t heard the song until recently, expressed genuine excitement about finally getting to hear the track that “might have been” in The Bangles' catalog. Hoffs also reveals her ongoing passion for storytelling, both in music and writing. With her debut novel The Bird Has Flown optioned for film, she’s deep in a second draft and working on a follow-up.
