Pretenders have announced that they’ll release their new studio album later this year.
Their first record since 2016’s Alone is titled Hate For Sale and it’ll launch on May 1 through BMG.
The band’s 11th studio album is the first to be written collaboratively between vocalist Chrissie Hynde and guitarist James Walbourne.
Hynde says: “I wanted to write with him since day one. James is especially sought after and has recorded with Jerry Lee Lewis, Dave Gahan and The Rails, to name but a few.
“We always planned on writing while on the road, but as anyone in a band will tell you, being on tour is a procrastinator's dream come true.”
To mark the album news, Pretenders have released the new single The Buzz, which can be listened to below.
Speaking about the song, Hynde says: “I think we all know that love affairs can take on the characteristics of drug addiction. It’s about that. Not mine of course – I’m never obsessive, never obsessive, never obsessive.”
Hate For Sale was produced by Stephen Street.
