New York, NY – April 29, 2014 – On the heels of last week’s 40th Anniversary album announcement, Blondie has unveiled the brand new video for their song “Sugar On The Side” via Hunger TV. PRESS HERE<http://www.hungertv.com/feature/exclusive-blondie-sugar-side/> to watch.

Directed by iconic English photographer Rankin, this striking video shares its concept with Debbie Harry's bold Issue 5 cover shoot for UK’s Hunger Magazine. Shot in monochrome and mixing kaleidoscope and geometric visuals, “Sugar On The Side” sees Harry embody two contrasting looks and personas. The track features Caribbean collective Systema Solar.

“This album is a little more far-reaching. It’s a bit more dance-y. We’ve done a lot more collaboration, with different musicians, singers and writers on this album than ever before," Debbie Harry told Hunger. "For instance, Chris (Stein) got in touch with the guys from Systema Solar, who are on 'Sugar On The Side', over the internet because he had been listening to their music and really liked it.”

2014 marks Blondie’s 40th Anniversary as a band. In celebration of this amazing milestone, the band will release a special double-disc package entitled Blondie 4(0) Ever on May 13, 2014 via NOBLE ID / ESMG. It will include an incredible collection of new songs entitled Ghosts of Download, and an album entitled Deluxe Redux: Greatest Hits, featuring brand new studio recordings of the band’s biggest songs. PRESS HERE<http://youtu.be/_zBwRDEFMRY> for an early listen of “One Way Or Another.” The iconic Andy Warhol “Debbie Harry” portrait is the cover art for the greatest hits album.

The album is available now to pre-order on iTunes, Amazon and Best Buy. Fans who pre-order the physical package through Amazon or Best Buy can choose amongst the Standard, Deluxe or Vinyl LP options.
