Susanna Hoffs Officially Announces Intimate Memoir and Duets Album Featuring Surprise Collaborators

Pop-rock icon Susanna Hoffs has officially confirmed the release of her first memoir and a brand-new duets album—two long-awaited projects that have fans celebrating across the globe. The announcement comes just months after Hoffs retired from live performance due to health concerns, proving that her creative spirit remains stronger than ever.

The memoir, titled In Your Room: A Life in Music and Love, is slated for release in early 2026. Described as “honest, poetic, and fiercely personal,” the book will offer a deep dive into Hoffs’ life—from her childhood in Los Angeles to fronting The Bangles, navigating superstardom, and finding balance in art, love, and family. Hoffs promises never-before-shared stories, including her collaborations with music legends like Prince, her creative process, and her experiences as a woman in the male-dominated rock world.

In tandem with the memoir, Hoffs also revealed plans for a new album titled Unplugged Hearts, a collection of intimate duets with some of today’s most admired musicians. Though the full lineup is still under wraps, sources close to the project tease collaborations with Paul McCartney, Billie Eilish, Harry Styles, and Norah Jones. The album will feature a mix of original songs and reimagined classics, centered around themes of connection, vulnerability, and timeless love.

“This is the most personal work I’ve ever done,” Hoffs said in a statement. “The book and the album are reflections of where I’ve been, what I’ve learned, and what still inspires me.”

Fans flooded social media with messages of excitement and gratitude, calling the double release “a dream come true.” As Hoffs continues to evolve as an artist and storyteller, she’s proving once again that her voice—both sung and written—remains as powerful and poignant

as ever.
