Last of the Independents

A fierce return to form balancing leather-jacket rock swagger with stadium-sized ballads. Hynde's alto has never sounded more commanding or protective.

It's the record where Chrissie Hynde proves she's still the coolest person in the room while giving you a big, rock-and-roll hug.

A powerful blend of street-smart defiance and deep, protective tenderness.

Moments Worth Waiting For

The explosive, jagged guitar riff that kicks off Night in My Veins, instantly setting a high-stakes late-night tone.

The transition into the massive, anthemic chorus of I'll Stand by You, where the production swells into a protective wall of sound.

The heavy, almost menacing blues-stomp of I'm a Mother, featuring a vocal performance that sounds both dangerous and nurturing.
