Postmodern Jukebox Taps Kyndle Wylde for 007-Style ‘Barracuda’

Imagine if the Wilson sisters had been commissioned to write a theme for a vintage spy thriller. Scott Bradlee’s Postmodern Jukebox recently pulled off that exact genre-swap by transforming Heart’s 1977 riffer ‘Barracuda’ into a sultry, 1970s James Bond-style noir. Featuring the powerhouse vocals of Kyndle Wylde—decked out in a cinematic trench coat—the track replaces galloping hard rock with a brassy, mid-tempo swagger. It is a masterclass in uncovering the hidden jazz bones beneath a heavy metal heart.
