About this album
The Singles captures The Pretenders at their most concise and persuasive, gathering the songs that made Chrissie Hynde one of rock’s sharpest voices. Drawn from the band’s first era, the collection moves from the slinky breakthrough of Brass in Pocket to the bruised resolve of Kid, the bittersweet poise of Back on the Chain Gang and the pop charge of Don’t Get Me Wrong. Blending new wave edge with reggae and pop inflections, these tracks show how The Pretenders balanced toughness, melody and emotional directness. It is a compact reminder of a band whose best singles defined the late-1970s and 1980s rock radio landscape.
