Album Description

#

Released in October 1979, Eat to the Beat represented the next step in Blondie’s evolution following the massive success of Parallel Lines. The band’s melting-pot approach to music — blending New Wave, pop, punk, disco, and even R&B — made them one of the most adventurous acts of the era. Led by the sugary rush of lead single “Dreaming” and the explosive “Atomic,” the result was one of Blondie’s greatest albums, showcasing their refusal to be pigeonholed. The album achieved No. 1 status internationally while reaching No. 17 in the U.S., establishing Blondie as genre-defying innovators.
