Chrissie Hynde (ChrissieHynde) shares new single 'Que reste-t-il de nos amours?,' a new take on Charles Trent's 1942 original:
Chrissie Hynde released a new single sung entirely in French on Wednesday, “Que reste-t-il de nos amours?” It’s the final track on her forthcoming solo album,Hynde’s single is a new take on Charles Trent’s 1942 original song of the same name. It translates to “What remains of our love?,” and puts Hynde’s soft, dynamic and versatile vocals on full display.A few years back when I saw an obit in the paper for the valve-trombonist, Bob Brookmeyer, I mailed my jazz sax-playing brother, saying ‘R. I.
I thought that was a perfect title for the album I’d been working on with producer Marius de Vries. After we’d recorded ‘I Wish You Love’ for the Eye Of The Beholder soundtrack I’d often expressed a desire to do more along those lines. What eventually emerged was the idea to do what we refer to as our Jazz/Dub album, the one you’re now holding in your hand.
I’m not hugely interested in branching out into other musical genres, being a devout rock singer as such, but jazz is something I grew up around and I’ve always had a soft spot for it. I often bemoan what I regard as a decline in melody in popular music and I wanted to sing melodies. Plus, I have a penchant for cover songs, it’s the surprise of singing something that I didn’t think of writing myself that turns me on.
Jazz got side-lined by Rock & Roll in the 60’s, but now the demise of rock seems to be heralding in a newfound interest in it, the most creative and innovative musical forms of the 20th century. I’m happy to jump on the bandwagon.
