Chrissie Hynde Stops Pretending With Solo Album

The Pretenders’ Chrissie Hynde has stopped pretending and will release her next album under her own name.

‘Stockholm’ officially becomes Chrissie Hydne’s first-ever solo album.

The album was recorded at Ingrid Studios in Stockholm, owned by Peter Bjorn & John.

Chrissie has a number of famous friends on her record including Neil Young and a surprise appearance by tennis champion John McEnroe. “I think life is serious, and you should take it seriously, but in rock n roll either have a laugh or don’t come to the party…so much of rock n roll has become what I would call Glory Rock, with family values. It’s the irreverence in rock that was always the turn on,” Chrissie said in a statement.

‘Stockholm’ the album is aimed at the head and the feet. “I wanted to make a power pop album you could dance to – Abba meets John Lennon,” she said.
