More covers? Oh yeah. The three wonderful volumes of the project Under the Covers from a decade ago, with Matthew Sweet, will not satiate neither the singer nor her fans. It’s because no one revisits the 1960s and 1970s like Susanna Hoffs. Whatever she revives, with the Bangles, in tandem or solo, she is the performer par excellence: everything resembles her, without distorting anything, everything shines. She thus found the titles that make up Bright lights in his catalog of the heart, songs loved between childhood and adolescence. So, with her taste so sure, her passion brought her back on the path of Emitt Rhodes and his group The Merry-Go-Round (exquisite Time Will Show the Wiser), Velvet Underground with Nico (poignant Fatal Woman), Monkees (You Just May Be the One, folk-pop beauty by Mike Nesmith), by Badfinger (Name of the Game, in duet with Aimee Mann), even crossing a Syd Barrett (No Good Trying). Almost perfection, all that. Yes, we want more.
