Bright Lights is the fourth solo album by Susanna Hoffs. This is a covers album featuring songs originally performed by Badfinger, The Velvet Underground, and former Big Star singer Chris Bell among others.[1] Hoffs stated, "These were songs I always admired and adored and had listened to on repeat for pure pleasure, but had never sung."[2]
Ledger Line's Jonathan Keefe stated "Bright Lights reaffirms, then, is that Hoffs has some of the sharpest instincts in pop music." [3]
The album featured a cover of a Badfinger track with Aimee Mann.[4]
