BRAVE, BEAUTIFUL AND BORN TO BE PUNK

Musician,
actor, activist, and the iconic face of New York City cool, Debbie Harry is the
frontwoman 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 re-creates 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 thirty 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

Loved it. I really enjoyed listening to Debbie narrate her own memoir. I am fascinated by the complexity of her life. I am unfamiliar with NYC and her memories made me feel like I was there. Her description of the loss and pain in her life triggered my own loaseslosses- I could really relate. I replayed some chapters over and over.

ENJOYABLE LISTENING
