About this album
Get Close finds The Pretenders balancing taut pop craft with their tougher new-wave edge. Issued in 1986, the album followed the success of Learning to Crawl and reflected the band’s resilience after major line-up changes, with Chrissie Hynde steering a sharper, more radio-ready sound. The record includes Don’t Get Me Wrong, one of their biggest hits, alongside songs that mix melodic polish with bite and attitude. Produced with a cleaner, fuller approach than their earlier work, Get Close helped keep The Pretenders in the mainstream while preserving the wit, hooks and emotional directness that made Hynde one of rock’s most distinctive voices.
