About this deal

Pollinator opens with the Harry/Stein rocker “Doom or Destiny,” which chugs along on a simple, brain-Velcro riff and is full of winking wordplay; Congleton gives Harry’s lower-register vocals a metallic sheen that makes the rapid-fire internal rhymes sound playfully robotic.

I was worried for Blondies 11th Studio recording Thankfully I shouldn't have been in fact so taken by it am I that it goes into my Top 3 of all time after Parallel Lines and Eat to the Beat, 12 Tracks (yes 12! The film is divided into three segments: "Water", "Fire" and "Air", which present a meditation on the experience as well as highlights from the two-night live musical performances with special guests Alain Perez, David Torrens and Afro-Cuban rock band Sintesis at Havana’s Teatro Mella. Other songs performed on the tour included " Doom or Destiny", " Tonight" and " Best Day Ever" from Pollinator, " Picture This" and " Fade Away and Radiate" from Parallel Lines, " A Rose by Any Name" and " Euphoria" from Ghosts of Download, " In the Flesh" from Blondie and " The Tide Is High" from Autoamerican.A note about the inner sleeves of the box set singles, it's just another point towards the high production of these 'singles'. included in the sale is a digital album for on the go, so you don't need to rip to MAC , Yet somehow; I think I will be ripping my original vinyl to MP3 regardless. Vintage Blondie (a complimentary,not a derogatory term by the way),can be heard on songs like; opening track - Doom or destiny, and Already naked.

The band's performance at WTTW's Grainger Studio in Chicago, taped on December 10, 2015, aired on the PBS concert series Soundstage on January 26, 2017, containing the new songs "My Monster" and "Gravity".Pollinator is the eleventh studio album by the American rock band Blondie, released on May 5, 2017 by BMG Rights Management. In its original form it’s a slow-burn romantic broadside with knotty lyrics (“egocentricity,” “reality,” and “disparity” all fit into a verse that also contains the phrase “overwhelming rejection”); Blondie’s version surrounds Harry with guitar fuzz and breakneck drumming, allowing her to fully lean into a torchy vocal performance that culminates in her showing off her weathered, still-intact higher register as she laments that she doesn’t even remember. The album's bustling with life throughout,and original members; Debbie Harry,Chris Stein and loyal to the end drummer Clem Burke,with their trademark punky sound,make this possible. In einem Gros an unterschiedlichen Medien erschien Blondies neuestes Werk „Pollinator“: als rote, schwarze oder weiße Vinyl-LP, als sechsfach-7“-Single-Box, CD, Kassette und Download - in den Sozialen Medien konnte man Fans entdecken, die sich jedes Format in mindestens einer Ausführung zulegten. Wenn man mal von der Logik, dass auf allen Tonträgern dasselbe Songmaterial gespeichert ist, absieht, dann lautet die Antwort: „Ja“!

There's no band more timeless than Blondie, nor any band more likely to nonsense the idea that pop music is the preserve of the young - Debbie Harry is 71 years old, yet 'Pollinator' is as fleet of foot as anything the band have made, not to mention their finest album since their late-'90s comeback with 'No Exit'. While tracks like “One Way or Another” and “Hanging on the Telephone” front-loaded themselves with spiky riffs and Debbie Harry’s petulant yet wondrous vocals, other entrants in the New York New Wavers’ catalog got their power—and staying power—from places removed from what was then considered “rock. Me gusta cómo no le interesa a Blondie el estatus de sus colaboradores, ya sea que se trate de Sia o de un chico con algunas canciones en YouTube, Blondie pone al mismo nivel todas las colaboraciones y sus propias composiciones haciendo que suene excelente todo el álbum.

Long Time,” which Harry co-wrote with Hynes, is a downshifted “Heart of Glass” with seen-it-all lyrics; the blooming keyboards buried in the mix provide a counterweight to Harry’s heavily processed vocals. Lead guitarist Chris Stein stated in an interview with Mojo, "We thought to ask people because there's so much good music swirling about", rather than it being a result of running thin on ideas. The box set singles also do not have barcodes on their sleeves - the small barcode is on the box itself.

A date in Chile was scheduled but later cancelled and rescheduled for 2019 and going sold-out in ten minutes. It consists of recordings of six live tracks from the Cuba shows with extra guitars added by Stein in a New York studio. The album was officially announced on January 23, 2017, when the band uploaded to their social media a scan of an interview with Mojo magazine which confirmed the album's release date. To have a collaboration between Blondie and the sublime Laurie Anderson is such a treat, with the song Fragments having several phases, including a short break in the middle of its nearly 14 minute running time. Blondie’s commitment to tense and jumpy pop remains, even though Harry’s voice is more grounded some four decades after the band’s debut.It takes me back to my childhood as a seven-year-old boy listening to Susie and Jeffery (B-side) loving the sounds and dramatic undertones.
