Susanna Hoffs has moved her next solo release into public view, posting a new album page for *The List* on her official website and linking it to music already on streaming services. The page describes the record as a set of songs written in personal sessions with a circle of collaborators including Dan Wilson, Edie Brickell, Ryan Lerman, Jesse Harris, Ny Oh, Grant Milliken and producer CJ Camerieri. Three tracks are already available online, and Hoffs’ homepage now carries a run of September appearances tied to the release. Apple Music lists *The List* as a 12-song album due on September 18. ### Which songs from *The List* are already out? Spotify lists a three-song single package under the title *Bad Case of Loneliness*, released on September 1, with “Bad Case of Loneliness,” “Casablanca” and “This Island.” The title track of that single is credited to Susanna Hoffs and Rufus Wainwright, while the other two songs are credited to Hoffs alone. (susannahoffs.com) Apple Music’s artist page also points to material from the new album already in circulation. It shows *The List* as a forthcoming release and surfaces “This Island” among Hoffs’ current top songs, alongside the 2025 single “Happy Together” featuring Rufus Wainwright. ### What has Hoffs said about the album itself? Hoffs’ official album page calls *The List* “a joyfully human meditation on what it is to be alive and in love” and says the songs grew out of “swapping stories and confessions, sharing laughter and tears.” The site says the material came from writing sessions with Camerieri and other collaborators and frames the songs as rooted in friendship and emotional candor. (open.spotify.com) (music.apple.com) The same page names Dan Wilson, Edie Brickell, Ryan Lerman, Desure, Jesse Harris, Ny Oh and Grant Milliken among the creative partners on the record. The description does not include a full track list on the site page surfaced in search, but Apple Music lists the album at 12 songs. ### How does this fit into Hoffs’ recent solo work? Hoffs’ official biography places *The List* after a stretch that included the Peter Asher-produced album *The Deep End* and her 2023 debut novel *This Bird Has Flown*. (susannahoffs.com) The bio also identifies her as a founding member of the Bangles and notes earlier solo albums including *When You’re a Boy*, her self-titled 1996 release and *Someday*. The same biography highlights a pattern of collaborations across Hoffs’ solo career, naming work with artists including Chris Martin, Mike Campbell, Jack Antonoff, Andrew Bird and others. That makes the collaborator-heavy framing of *The List* consistent with how her recent projects have been presented on her official channels. ### Where is she scheduled to play next? Hoffs’ homepage lists September 5 at Largo in Los Angeles as her next posted live date. (susannahoffs.com) After that, the site shows several September appearances with Billy Idol in Maryland Heights, Missouri; Grand Rapids, Michigan; Cuyahoga Falls, Ohio; and North Kansas City, Missouri, plus a September 14 show at Chicago’s Old Town School of Folk Music. The same page lists festival slots at Sea.Hear.Now in Asbury Park on September 19 and Oceans Calling in Ocean City on September 27. It also shows a five-night run at the Carlyle in New York from September 21 through September 26, with each of those dates marked sold out. ### What comes next for the release? Apple Music lists September 18, 2026, as the release date for *The List*. (susannahoffs.com) Hoffs’ official site is already routing visitors to the album page, streaming links and ticket pages, with Largo in Los Angeles on September 5 as the next scheduled appearance on the calendar now posted online.
