High-gloss 1980s rock with a soulful heart. Chrissie Hynde's unmistakable alto navigates shimmering synths and funk-inflected rhythms with cool, urban poise.

It's the Pretenders in high-definition 80s glory, where the hooks are huge and the soul is even bigger.

A sophisticated blend of urban confidence and late-night vulnerability wrapped in a glossy mid-80s sheen.
