Blondie Still Here - New Pollinator Release 23May17

I'm still in COS and studying; Blondie is still here with a brand new release, Pollinator. The latest release from Debbie Harry and the rest is straight from CBGBs in NYC in the 70s. This alt rock release from May 2017 is much better than their prior recent stuff and beckons us back. Harry is not the front-woman attraction she once was but Doom with Joan Jett and Long Time penned personally were good, as was Fragments for sure. They were on Fallon and released Long Time and Fun on vids already. Harry & Stein wrote only one song, Love Level, together this time, meh. The full album is worthy if you like the genre... it's basically a mega-collaboration with good songwriters supplying most of the material. Though, I'm a fan and like the release. I tried to understand if Harry was autotuned on some of the tracks - could be, but I could not find confirmation... if not, her pipes are still pretty clean. Worthy at least for the 4 tracks mentioned IMO.
