Formed in New York in 1974, Blondie quickly developed a sound that stood apart from many of their new wave peers. Their early success came with their self-titled debut album, which helped land them tours with artists like David Bowie and Iggy Pop. But it was their third album, Parallel Lines, that got them onto the radio and into the charts.
By the time Blondie released their fourth album, Eat to the Beat, in 1979, they were already international stars. The album featured “Atomic,” a song that showcased the band’s ability to combine their new wave sound with something different.
The song was written by Harry and keyboardist Jimmy Destri, who originally set out to create something with a similar feel to “Heart of Glass.”
You can hear that influence in "Atomic," from its dramatic guitars to its film-like sound. It blends new wave, disco rhythms and even western twang into something totally unique.
“The lyrics, well, a lot of the time I would write while the band were just playing the song and trying to figure it out. I would just be scatting along with them and I would just start going, ‘Ooooooh, your hair is beautiful,” she once said.
Whatever the meaning, one thing's for sure. The song's catchy rhythm, Harry's powerhouse vocals and Blondie's genre-bending sound are what made it work.
