Susanna Hoffs - Enormous Wings
‘Susanna Hoffs’ is the second solo album by Susanna Hoffs. The style of the album is more folk-oriented than her earlier work. Columbia Records disagreed with this style and dropped her from their roster, resulting in Hoffs signing to London Records. Three songs rejected by Columbia appeared on this album including "Enormous Wings", "Darling One" and "Happy Place". The album is much more personal and deals with issues like abusive relationships and insecurities; "Weak With Love" is about John Lennon's assassination. The album was promoted by forming a band for an extensive tour.
The album was released to enthusiastic reviews but, like its predecessor, it failed to sell as well as expected. AllMusic reviewer Stephen Thomas Erlewine stated this album is "a remarkably accomplished and catchy collection of mature jangle-pop, power-pop and ballads". Wook Kim of Entertainment Weekly noted Hoffs "performs a small act of bravery". From: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Susanna_Hoffs_(album)
