The second single from their upcoming album The Pretenders have shared the second single from their forthcoming eleventh studio album, ‘Hate for Sale’.
The track, entitled ‘You Can’t Hurt A Fool’, follows on from lead single, ‘The Buzz’ and album track ‘Hate for Sale’, which were both released in March. ‘You Can’t Hurt A Fool’, an R&B-style ballad, differs dramatically from its two predecessors. “I suppose our biggest influence apart from crazy, hard-core rock and roll has been R&B,” said lead singer Chrissie Hynde in a statement. “James [Walbourne] and I really grappled with this one to get in all the subtleties and nuance of an R&B classic, albeit with modern, autobiographical lyrics.” “The fool is me!” Hynde added.
