Mar 17, 2020 The Pretenders By Christopher Roberts

The Pretenders have announced a new album, Hate For Sale, and shared its first single, “The Buzz.” Hate For Sale is due out May 1 via BMG. Below is “The Buzz,” followed by the album’s tracklist, as well as the band’s upcoming tour dates. Above is the cover art.

Hate For Sale is the band’s 11th album. Stephen Street (The Smiths, Blur) produced the album, which features 10 new songs written by frontwoman Chrissie Hynde and guitarist James Walbourne, the first time they have collaborated on the songwriting across a whole album. Hate For Sale is also the first album to feature the band’s touring lineup, with Hynde and Walbourne joined by bassist Nick Wilkinson and founding drummer Martin Chambers. Hate For Sale is the follow-up to 2016’s Alone, which was produced by Dan Auerbach of The Black Keys and The Arcs.

Hynde had this to say about “The Buzz” in a press release: “I think we all know that love affairs can take on the characteristics of drug addiction. ‘The Buzz’ is about that. Not mine, of course – I’m never obsessive never obsessive never obsessive.”
