Chrissie Hynde has unveiled the brand-new video for her duet with k.d. lang on the soul classic Me & Mrs Jones.
The clip gives fans a first look at one of the standout tracks from Hynde’s upcoming record Chrissie Hynde & Pals – Duets Special, due 17 October 2025.
Duets Special features 13 extraordinary collaborations with an eclectic mix of guests, including Rufus Wainwright, Debbie Harry, Brandon Flowers, Lucinda Williams, Cat Power and Shirley Manson. Each track strips back the arrangement, letting Hynde’s unmistakable voice shine alongside her chosen partners.
The Pretenders frontwoman has never shied away from collaboration. Her history with duets stretches back to her chart-topping I Got You Babe with UB40 in 1985, through to work with Ray Davies, Frank Sinatra, Cher and Neneh Cherry. With Duets Special, she has gathered those threads into her most complete project of its kind.
Chrissie Hynde & Pals – Duets Special arrives 17 October 2025 via Parlophone and Rhino.
