After months of waiting, Blondie delivers his ninth studio album ... "Panic Of Girls" who almost never come out on CD (no record company), marks the return in good enough shape to a group still manages to innovate and to please the ears of pop fans well turned. While the entire album does not reach the heights of the first pop disc titles (What I Heard, D-Day, Mother), it has the merit of wanting to explore with more or less success diverse musical territories, making fact, the key is Blondie for over 30 years. I think the record could have been better if he had played the card of a well-crafted power pop and effective! (As in the 70's) Sometimes the "too much" is the enemy of "good": the creators are lost around titles in French or Spanish (The Blue Wipe off my sweat) that remind some solo efforts the singer, perfectly dispensable .... Nothing however dishonorable but vain anyway. Nothing beats the English language to dress the voice of Debbie Harry with age takes on new shades: a nasal tone but certainly an undeniable experience in power. Even if the disc does not revolutionize the genre pop and reggae and even if it might go unnoticed in the ear of the neophyte (and that's a shame, if the disk is also poorly distributed throughout the world). In the UK it was released in June as a pack: CD, poster, beautiful well-stocked magazine, postcards), the history fan will always enjoy listening music with the freshness and quality are essential. That's not bad.
