Blondie

Blondie is the band's 1976 debut album that introduced their blend of punk energy and pop songwriting within the emerging New York new wave scene. Debbie Harry's cool, melodic vocals are paired with angular guitars, prominent keyboards and tight rhythmic drive, producing concise, hooky songs such as X Offender, Rip Her to Shreds and In the Flesh. Produced by Richard Gottehrer, the record showcases the group's early mix of rock, pop and punk influences.
