Sweetheart of the Sun

Sweetheart of the Sun is the fifth studio album by American pop rock band the Bangles, released on September 27, 2011. It is the band's second album since their 2003 reunion, and their only one that does not feature an official bassist, as Michael Steele left the band in 2005. The group hired several session musicians for bass guitar accompaniment for the album. The twelve-song album was co-produced by the Bangles and Matthew Sweet.
