Chrissie Hynde returns with Duets Special, an album of 13 striking collaborations with an array of celebrated artists. Featuring performances alongside Alan Sparhawk, the late Mark Lanegan, Dave Gahan, Cat Power, Brandon Flowers, Debbie Harry, Shirley Manson and more, the record reimagines classic songs and deep cuts through Hynde’s distinctive voice and artistry.
Highlights include a smoky take on ‘Me & Mrs Jones’ with k.d. lang, an emotive ‘Can’t Help Falling In Love’ with Mark Lanegan, and an atmospheric version of ‘Dolphins’ featuring Dave Gahan. Other standouts pair Hynde with Cat Power on ‘First Of The Gang To Die’, Brandon Flowers on ‘I’m Not In Love’, and Debbie Harry on the tender ‘Try To Sleep’.
Elegantly arranged and rich in character, Duets Special captures the chemistry and creative spark between Hynde and her collaborators, offering a set that bridges genres and generations.
