The Pretenders are back with their 12th studio album, ‘Relentless’. 

Clocking in at 12-tracks, the LP marks the second time that the group has written an album as a collaboration between frontwoman Chrissie Hynde and guitarist James Walbourne, and is their first to be released via Warner Brothers – the parent company of Parlophone – since 1999.

Discussing its title, Chrissie says: “I enjoy seeing the various meanings and origins of a word. And I liked the definition: ‘showing no abatement of intensity.’ So when it came to an album title, it seemed fitting. You know… to keep doing it.

“I think anyone in a band is constantly questioning if they should keep going. It starts as a youthful pursuit and eventually, it makes you wonder, why am I doing this? It’s the life of the artist. You never retire. You become relentless.”

The record is the follow-up to 2020’s ‘Hate For Sale’ and was conceived and recorded much in the same way. 

“We had developed this method of working remotely and it seemed like we just kept on doing it for this album,” she adds. “This is something that we’ve honed down to an art in the last few years.

“[James Walbourne] always comes up with something I wouldn’t have thought of myself and I love surprises.”

Alongside lead single Let the Sun Come In, out now, ‘Relentless’ also includes a collaboration with composer Jonny Greenwood, who appears on the album’s closing track, I Think About You Daily. 

‘Relentless’ is out September 1 via Parlophone.
