The Pretenders have released a new single, A Love.

Following I Think About You Daily and Let The Sun Come In, it's taken from their new studio album, 'Relentless', due out on September 15 via Parlophone.

Arriving in the wake of their star-studded Glastonbury Festival set, which featured Foo Fighters Dave Grohl and former Smiths guitarist Johnny Marr, the song offers a fresh take on the band's new wave sound, guided by Chrissie Hynde's resonant and calming vocals. She said:

"I suppose that’s the most traditionally Pretenders-sounding song on the album, in the vein of Kid or Talk Of The Town or any of the mid-tempo ones over the years. I often see love and relationships almost in the same vein as drug addiction. Although, having said that, I know I am jaded, and cynical… The Buzz on Hate For Sale visited the same theme."

The renowned band will appear at the UK's BBC Radio 2 In The Park in September, following North American shows as guests of Guns N' Roses. They also have European concerts in the diary for September.
