About this listen

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)

Thank you for answering those unanswered questions. I read for Blondie info but learned about Debbie.

Her story is really amazing and the people she hung out with were just incredible. Just about every big name in the New York art and music scene was someone she knew or hung out with. She stands on her own as a powerful musician and songwriter. By sharing some of her life's experiences she's become even more of an icon to me. I guess I didn't realize her music genre was considered "Punk" but then I never really understood the need to categorize music. To me it is either good or not so good. And Blondie is good. I love the narration and you hear the gentle remnants of her East Coast accent here and there. It is a well written memoir made better by hearing it directly from the author.

Love this. Love Debbie Harry

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
