Our Take
Our Take
Chrissie Hynde has always been one to defy expectations, and her latest venture with The Valve Bone Woe Ensemble is no exception. "Valve Bone Woe" sees the Pretenders frontwoman taking a deep dive into the world of jazz, reimagining classic tracks with a unique twist.
From the opening notes of "How Glad I Am" to the haunting rendition of "Wild Is the Wind," Hynde's voice shines brightly against the backdrop of jazzy arrangements. The Valve Bone Woe Ensemble provides a lush, dynamic backdrop that perfectly complements Hynde's smoky vocals.
Standout tracks include the sultry "Caroline, No" and the dreamy "No Return," which showcase Hynde's versatility as a vocalist. The ensemble's intricate instrumentation adds layers of complexity to each track, creating a rich tapestry of sound that is both captivating and immersive.
While "Valve Bone Woe" may not be what fans of The Pretenders are used to, it is a bold and refreshing departure for Hynde. With this album, she proves that she is not afraid to push boundaries and try new things. In a musical landscape that can often feel stale and repetitive, Chrissie Hynde and The Valve Bone Woe Ensemble are a breath of fresh air.
