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)

PLEASE NOTE: When you purchase this title, the accompanying PDF will be available in your Audible Library along with the audio.

This book and reading made me laugh, brought a tear to my eye, and fascinated me. It’s so easy to hear the word ‘Blondie’ and think of Deborah Harry’s ethereal beauty, hear Heart Of Glass in your head and move on but there is so much more. The brilliance of Debbie, Chris, and the myriad of talent they have played with over the years is woven into a touching tapestry with The Queen of Cool guiding you through every stitch.

Heart Of Class

This would serve as an excellent companion to an unauthorized biography of Debbie Harry's life and work. Blithely glossing over years of heroin and cocaine addiction as just one example--Chris Stein's "recovering" in a private hospital room while Debbie's out each day copping "H" for him. (How did that slip by the medical staff, by the way?) And other enormous omissions--make for a sort of poetic take on a punk rock life lived with gusto. Perhaps due to her editor's suggestion, she disclaims all these fibs in the final paragraphs, "I didn't tell you EVERYTHING. Who would?!"
This leaves the listener wondering what actually happened in this artist's tumultuous life. Between the lines, if you will.
Debbie Harry's amazing East Coast drawl, though, is what makes this a gem. I recommend it highly to any casual punk rock historian. Just don't expect to come away knowing anything for sure. It's a good read.

Nobody Tells The Whole Truth About Themself

Really interesting story. Deborah Harry is a singer/actress, so it took me a bit to get adjusted to her narration. I love when authors read their work, it's such a personal experience. What a life she's had, and how delightful for her to share.

Intriguing

I enjoyed this more than I thought I would because Debbie Harry has lived a more interesting life than I realized. Glad I took the time to listen.

A must for Blondie and Debbie Harry fans

“Face it,“ I didn’t know what to expect from Deborah Harry’s autobiography. I wasn’t a punker, and didn’t understand the term. I was in the Army during Vietnam when she began her punk journey. I liked her songs, I enjoyed dancing to them later in disco’s and on the radio. I bought a Blondie album. And now at 72, I so enjoyed hearing her relate her life journey, I feel like I can better understand her struggles and her music. Coming to grips with the past and present while growing into wisdom is not a picnic. Deborah is able to face what was and is - in a straight forward story of her life in an often humorous and painful interplay of people, her thoughts, and her heart. Readers will feel special hearing her voice and develop an endearing personal (although one-sided), friendship with her truths. I recommend everyone to “get to know her.” Bravo!

What an interesting life. So glad she decided to write this. Been a fan since she came on the scene & loved her ever since. She's lucky to be alive, with a couple of these twists & turns. Very enjoyable to listen to. Thank you for the music, Debbie!

Talk about honesty

Debbie's reading of this book will reinvigorate the long neglected punk rock soul in anyone.
So many great stories, snapshots of daily life and tiny morsels of tasty details about the ups and downs of the music business.
Debbie has marched through life with brains, beauty and balls. It's a GREAT book!!

What a treat to be able to spend hours listening to Debbie Harry talk to you and tell her story with amazing ups and downs and a great sense of humor. I loved her with Blondie's first album and all these years later I still love her.

Loved her then, love her now.
