Following up 2016's acclaimed Alone, Hate For Sale is the Pretender's first album to be recorded with the now long-standing touring line-up of the group. Produced by the revered Stephen Street (The Smiths, Blur) Hate For Sale is the Pretenders' eleventh studio album overall and the first to be written collaboratively by Chrissie Hynde and electrifyingly dynamic guitarist James Walbourne. "I wanted to write with him since day one," says Chrissie. "James is especially sought after and has recorded with Jerry Lee Lewis, Dave Gahan, and The Rails, to name but a few." And on the single "The Buzz," she adds, "I think we all know that love affairs can take on the characteristics of drug addiction. It's about that."
