Black Coffee In Bed

 

It seems a little bit seldom when Susanna Hoffs appear on this pages only when she had released another album with cover versions. Not that she had a great appearance with her band The Bangles in the mid 80's but she went off my radar when the band split. The Bangles/Hoffs were one of those (girl-)bands that had the power of post-punk and the abilities to transform them into the best pop-songs in this decade. She started her solo-career with two albums that wasn't really bad but no ones to remember. She came back to my mind when she started her collaboration with Matthew Sweet and the series Under The Cover running for three albums until 2013. They've chosen songs from various decades spanning from the 60's to the 80's and all of them I enjoyed when they were released. And now she's back with The Deep End another album filled with cover versions spanning from Billie Eilish and Squeeze to the Rolling Stones. Not her best album with cover versions but if you like her voice like me she can't fail.

As said once before, the best thing in cover-versions is that you remember the originals. So it is with Black Coffee In Bed another terrific song by Squeeze the masters of turning short stories into pop-songs.
