Chrissie Hynde and Yttling Jazz have recorded a cover of the Doors’ 1967 song “People Are Strange.” They debuted it on Swedish television’s På Spåret on Oct. 9, with a studio version released on streaming services. The collaboration reunites Hynde with Björn Yttling, who co-wrote and co-produced her 2014 solo album Stockholm.
Chrissie Hynde and Yttling Jazz have released a studio cover of the Doors’ 1967 song “People Are Strange”, after performing it on Swedish television show På Spåret on Friday, Oct. 9. The recording brings Hynde back together with Björn Yttling, who co-wrote and co-produced her 2014 solo album Stockholm.
The performance was the cover’s live debut, according to Stereogum’s report. Yttling Jazz are serving as the house band on På Spåret for several weeks, giving the group a television platform for the performance. A separate studio version appeared on streaming services the same day.
Hynde had previewed the collaboration in a recent blog post, saying she had travelled to Gothenburg to sing with Yttling’s group. She recalled working with him on Stockholm about a decade earlier and praised the Yttling Jazz album. Her post described the session as a chance to work with the Swedish musicians again, rather than announcing a larger project or album.
The source report identifies the track as a cover of the Doors’ “People Are Strange,” but does not provide details about the recording session, the arrangement, or the personnel involved beyond Hynde and Yttling Jazz. It also does not specify whether the release is a standalone single or part of a forthcoming collection.
Hynde Reunites With Yttling
The release connects two distinct chapters in Hynde’s recording career: her 2014 solo album and this new performance with Yttling Jazz. Their previous collaboration gives the cover a clear personal and professional link, while the choice of a well-known Doors song puts Hynde’s voice alongside a piece of 1960s American rock repertoire.
For listeners, the immediate development is a new recording available to stream, paired with a televised first performance. The report does not describe the musical changes made to the song, so the significance rests on the confirmed reunion and release rather than claims about a new interpretation or its reception. The appearance also offers Yttling Jazz a featured performance during its house-band run on På Spåret.

From Stockholm to Gothenburg
Yttling and Hynde first worked together on Stockholm, Hynde’s debut solo album, released in 2014. Stereogum reports that Yttling co-wrote and co-produced the record. Their new work is a cover rather than a reported continuation of that album or a newly announced full-length collaboration.
Hynde’s blog post placed the recording session in Gothenburg, where she said she had gone a couple of weeks before writing. She referred warmly to her earlier work with Yttling and said she was glad to sing with the group. The performance then took place on På Spåret, where Yttling Jazz were booked as the house band for a limited run.
The original “People Are Strange” is a Doors song from 1967. The report supplies no further release history for the new version and does not identify it as part of a tribute album, soundtrack, or broader Doors project.
““I did go to Gothenburg a couple weeks ago to sing with The Bjorn Yttling Jazz combo.””
— Chrissie Hynde, in a recent blog post quoted by Stereogum

Release Plans Remain Unspecified
The available report confirms a televised debut and a streaming studio recording, but does not say whether the cover will receive a physical release or appear on an album. No release label, track credits, recording details, or plans for additional performances are included. It is also unclear whether the collaboration will continue beyond this song and Yttling Jazz’s scheduled run on På Spåret.
The source provides no audience figures, chart data, or critical response. Any assessment of how the cover differs musically from the original, or how listeners have received it, would require listening to the versions and further reporting; those conclusions are not established by the report itself.

Streaming and TV Run Continue
The studio recording is available on streaming services, while the televised performance can be checked against the version released online. Yttling Jazz are due to remain the house band on På Spåret for a few weeks, according to the report, though it does not list the dates of any further appearances.
No additional release or performance plans have been announced in the source material. The next confirmed point of interest is whether Hynde and Yttling share more details about the recording or collaborate again after the program’s house-band run.
