The Pretty Reckless Release New Single ’25’

---

Earlier in the week The Pretty Reckless announced the release date for their new album ‘Death By Rock And Roll’, today we got a new single from the album called ’25’.

Talking about the song, singer Taylor Momsen said “’25’ is an interesting song that came from a lot of different places, It was the first song we recorded for the record in early 2019. I had just turned 25 when we wrote it. In a way, it’s an autobiography and hopefully shows that this album really ventures out into new territory with the music.”

Take a listen to the new song here:

The new album will be the first album to be made without long-time producer Kato Khandwala, who sadly died back in April 2018 in a motorcycle accident. The new album will also see the band working with Soundgardens Matt Cameron and Kim Thayil, as well as Rage Against The Machine’s Tom Morello.

Talking to Forbes, Taylor Momsen said “We worked really hard on this album and we went through a lot of loss, a lot of tragedy, and we really poured our hearts and souls into it and in a way I can’t express verbally. It’s all there in the music, so that’s why I say it feels like a rebirth. It almost feels like the first record in a sense, because we really had to go back to the beginning after losing Kato, our producer. I’m just really excited for people to hear it because, in my opinion, it’s the best album we’ve ever made so it’s hard to sit on this music.”

Adding “We talked about holding the song ‘Death By Rock And Roll’ for longer too, and I was, like, ‘I can’t do this. I can’t just sit on this album forever.’ The world needs music and music has such a healing thing to it, and it saved my life, time and time again. If we put out a song and if it can put a smile on some people’s faces, great, we’ll take it from there. That’s kind of what we’re doing — we’re riding the wave. This is just such an unprecedented time so we’re trying to take it step by step, and see where things go. Everything is still up in the air, but we are planning on releasing more singles before the full album is out. There’s going to be more music to come.”
