Today, The Pretenders‘ frontwoman Chrissie Hynde has shared her contribution to the collection, a heartfelt rendition of the classic “Let It Be.” The song comes complete with a lyric video, as if we didn’t all know the words by heart. Still, the fun graphics and excellent font choice makes the clip a compelling watch, not to mention a lovely listen.
