Susanna Hoffs recently released a new recording of “Eternal Flame,” a superhit song from The Bangles’ third album, Everything.
Hoffs co-wrote the song with Billy Steinberg and Tom Kelly in 1988.
“I was inspired to sing it again!” says Hoffs. “As I stood before the microphone, I fought back tears of gratitude-for the opportunity to sing a song I have loved and cherished my entire adult life. We’ve grown up together!”
“I’ve been touched time and again by stories from friends and strangers alike who’ve expressed how much ‘Eternal Flame’ has meant to them, whether the song played as they walked down the aisle at their wedding, or brought consolation,” she adds. “I still wake up each morning, motivated to sing, to write, to make art, and to find ways to connect. I’m still that same girl with that same emotion-older, and hopefully wiser.”
According to a new release, Hoffs will release another version of “Eternal Flame” with chamber ensemble yMusic on April 9
