Debbie Harry has aged well since her band’s hey day in the late 70’s and early 80’s.
The music remains sprightly too.
There are a couple of duff songs on her new album entitled, ‘Panic Of Girls’, that simply try too hard to keep up with modern music. It’s like pretending to be something that you’re not. And most folk will see right through this as fake and just…well…rubbish.
But, the songs ‘Mother’, ‘Marnie’ and Sunday Smile’ sit quite well with all her old Blondie classics. Of course, they never will be classic. So if you buy this, you’ll just have to give these songs a bit more of a listen than you’re used to.
You might listen to the album once and forget about it, but it’ll at least make you want to put on an old Blondie album. And if you haven’t got any tracks by Blondie, then shame on you…go and get some…NOW!
