Chrissie Hynde, the iconic frontwoman of The Pretenders, steps into new creative territory with Duets Special, a 2025 collection of 13 songs recorded alongside an impressive roster of collaborators. The album features pared-down arrangements that place the focus squarely on intimacy and trust between artists, with Hynde drawing on a diverse mix of retro pop, R&B, and psychedelic folk.
What makes Duets Special a compelling listen is its remarkable lineup of guests and its adventurous song selection — highlights include a gender-bending take on "Me & Mrs. Jones" with k.d. lang, a cover of "Always on My Mind" with Rufus Wainwright, and "Dolphins" alongside Depeche Mode's Dave Gahan, among others. The project also features collaborations with Shirley Manson of Garbage, Julian Lennon, Cat Power, and Carleen Anderson, making this a genuinely eclectic and surprising record that goes beyond the typical duets album formula.
