Alone

"Alone"  is the tenth studio album by rock group The Pretenders, released October 21, 2016 on the BMG label.
It is the first Pretenders album for eight years and was recorded in Nashville with Dan Auerbach, from The Black Keys. Originally intended as a solo follow-up to Chrissie Hynde's 2014’s ‘Stockholm’, it soon dawned that those driving guitars, ragged but righteous arrangements, tough yet tender lyrics delivered by the most beautifully distinctive voice of a generation, sounded fantastically familiar. The Pretenders were back. 36 years after their remarkable first album, ‘Alone’ could be the older, wiser, badder sister to that exhilarating debut.
Of the new album Chrissie Hynde said the following: “This record is what I love the most - real people playing real music. I sang and recorded every vocal in a 48 hour period - 48 hours to sing them, 40 years of preparation!”.
