The Pretenders Are 'Relentless' on New Album, Share Single "Let the Sun Come In"
Radiohead's Jonny Greenwood arranged the strings on one track
"I enjoy seeing the various meanings and origins of a word," said singer Chrissie Hynde of Relentless's title. "And I liked the definition: 'showing no abatement of intensity.' So when it came to an album title, it seemed fitting. You know, to keep doing it. I think anyone in a band is constantly questioning if they should keep going. It starts as a youthful pursuit and eventually, it makes you wonder, why am I doing this? It's the life of the artist. You never retire. You become relentless."
