Overview

An audiobook edition of Face It, the much-anticipated autobiography from rock icon and lead singer of Blondie Debbie Harry. Face It is performed by Debbie Harry with vocal guest appearances from Chris Stein, Clem Burke, Alannah Currie, and Gary Valentine with original music by Chris Stein. Filled with never-before-seen photos and art throughout, the much-anticipated autobiography from rock icon and lead singer of Blondie Debbie Harry. Brave, beautiful, and born to be punk Musician, actor, activist, and the iconic face of New York City cool, Debbie Harry is the front woman of Blondie, a band that forged a new sound that brought together the worlds of rock, punk, disco, reggae, and hip-hop to create some of the most beloved pop songs of all time. As a muse, she collaborated with some of the boldest artists of the past four decades. The scope of Debbie Harry's impact on our culture has been matched only by her reticence to reveal her rich inner life - until now. In an arresting mix of visceral, soulful storytelling and stunning visuals, Face It upends the standard music memoir while delivering a truly prismatic portrait. With all the grit, grime, and glory recounted in intimate detail, Face It recreates the downtown scene of 1970s New York City, where Blondie played alongside the Ramones, Television, Talking Heads, Iggy Pop, and David Bowie. Aesthetically dazzling, and including never-before-seen photographs, bespoke illustrations, and fan art installations, Face It brings Debbie Harry's world and artistic sensibilities to life. Following her path from glorious commercial success to heroin addiction, the near-death of partner Chris Stein, a heart-wrenching bankruptcy, and Blondie's breakup as a band to her multifaceted acting career in more than 30 films, a stunning solo career and the triumphant return of her band, and her tireless advocacy for the environment and LGBTQ rights, Face It is a cinematic story of a woman who made her own path and set the standard for a generation of artists who followed in her footsteps - a memoir as dynamic as its subject. "I was saying things in songs that female singers didn't really say back then. I wasn't submissive or begging him to come back, I was kicking his ass, kicking him out, kicking my own ass too. My Blondie character was an inflatable doll but with a dark, provocative, aggressive side. I was playing it up yet I was very serious." (From Face It)

About the Author

"Музыкант, актриса, активистка и культовое лицо нью-йоркского андеграунда, Дебби Харри ― солистка группы Blondie, создавшей новое звучание, в котором слились рок, панк, диско, регги и хип-хоп, и выпустившей некоторые из самых обожаемых поп-песен всех времен. В качестве музы она сотрудничала с самыми дерзкими деятелями искусства прошлых четырех десятилетий. Влияние Дебби Харри на нашу культуру сопоставимо только с ее нежеланием открыть свой внутренний мир ― до сегодняшнего момента. Дебби и Blondie продали миллионы альбомов по всему миру и в 2006 году были включены в Зал славы рок-н-ролла. Харри посчастливилось играть в нескольких наиболее любопытных независимых фильмах последних двадцати лет. Прошедшая путь от дерзкой панк-богини Нижнего Ист-Сайда до активистки, принимающей участие в экологических проектах и защите прав ЛГБТ-сообщества, Дебби Харри всегда будет ассоциироваться с духом панка, который так или иначе живет в каждом из нас."
