Believe it or not but Sweetheart Of The Sun is only The Bangles' fifth studio album of their thirty-year career and first since 2003. While the band may no longer be walking like Egyptians, The Bangles return with a dozen folksy and garage bandish songs packed with the band's signature harmonies and Susana Hoffs' seductive purr. Standout tracks include "Ball & Chain," "Lay Yourself Down," "I'll Never Be Through With You," "Anna Lee (Sweetheart Of The Sun)," and my personal favorite, "Under A Cloud."While Sweetheart Of The Sun probably won't win the band any new fans, it's a welcome addition to the record collections of fans of old. Welcome back, ladies.
