Whoop whoop\u2026 Blondie is back. The 70\u2019s powerhouse that brought you hits \u2018Atomic,\u2019 \u2018Heart of Glass\u2019 and \u2018Call Me\u2019 are releasing their first album since 2014\u2019s Ghost of Download.

\nDave Sitek from TV on the Radio is also responsible for writing their first single, \u2018Fun,\u2019 which is a playful, shimmering disco track that has wowed the critics.
\nIn addition to the aforementioned pop and indie acts, electronic music pioneers\u2019 Laurie Anderson and \u2018Love Hurts\u2019 rock singer Joan Jett also perform on some of the tracks.
\n\u201cTheir material is part of us and we are part of them\u201d, says Debbie Harry, 71, of their co-writers. \u201cIt\u2019s a celebration of recycling!\u201d
