No kind of love
When You're a Boy is the debut solo album by Susanna Hoffs. It begins with the Billboard Top 40 single "My Side of the Bed," includes the track "Unconditional Love" (co-written by Cyndi Lauper), and ends with a cover of "Boys Keep Swinging," the 1979 song written by David Bowie and Brian Eno. The album's title comes from the lyrics to the latter.

Reception
"An album which expands the Bangles' brief into undreamed of territories," opined Jimmy Nicol, in a four-out-of-five star review for Q. "She reveals herself to be a highly inventive composer, lyricist – and even humourist… After all, how many other American pop stars embarking on a solo career would name their album after a late '70s English art-rock 45?"
