The GOOD return of Blondie

"58-years-old Debbie is still impressive, her voice is passionate and Blondie... just ON TOP like they've (almost) always been. In these days people want to follow the tendencies of the early 80's to feel on top and alternative. Blondie just doesn't need to do that: they carry that atmosphere and spirit with themselves. This single is at the same time new wave and disco, and at the same time 80's and 00's. Blondie is brand new and at the same time the classic Blondie we love. The song is a wonderful born-to-be-a-hit track, with a pretty melody and infectious lyrics. The single brings remixes made by Donna Summer's ¨friend¨ Giorgio Moroder, an updated 80's ¨must¨. The extended mix is just magic and must brig you to another level, where even on the dancefloor it was all about MUSIC. It's a magic return to form, much more impressive than the mega commercial hit ¨Maria¨ from their previous album."
Blondie: Vintage...Modern...Oxymoron??? BRILLIANT!

"Blondie's Good Boys is vintage and classic. Yet, it's ahead of its time. Oxymoron? I say, brilliant!!! Blondie really dishes it all out on the LP version. Debbie Harry's vocals are heavenly. The rap oozes wise attitude that only the grand dame of New Wave and Punk could exude. The instrumentals, guitars, and production are divine. These dance mixes usher in the summer perfectly, and heed an early callout for all the fun-loving boys and girls out there to grace the dance floors of clubland. Fans of Saint Etienne and Sarah Cracknell should easily embrace this tune, as well. For all new generation of pop and punk, watch carefully and learn from Blondie how it should be done."
