Jun 30, 2014
Stockholm was recorded at Ingrid Studios, Stockholm, with co-writer, guitarist and producer Bjorn Yttling (Peter, Bjorn and John) and features cameos from Neil Young and John McEnroe. It also features a variety of Swedish musicians such as
Joakim Ahlund from the Caesars.
Stockholm is a rockin' pop album addressing the many facets of relationships and has a number of great songs including "Dark Sunglasses," "You Or No One," "Down The Wrong Way," "Like In The Movies" and "A Plan Too Far."
Of this album and this period of her life, Hynde said, ""The thing is ... I'm at a stage where I'm happy. I really enjoy life. I love playing music, and I wanted to make a power pop album that you could dance to. I never wanted to take over the world, and I don't want to disappear either."
At 62, Hynde is a dedicated vegetarian and an outspoken animal-rights activist. She appeared on the "The Tonight Show with Jimmy Fallon" and "The Colbert Report" in early June around the release of her new album.
She has a couple dates lined up in U.K. in July.
