Heart of Glass - Blondie - MP3 instrumental karaoke

"Heart of Glass" is one of Blondie's most recognisable numbers, a sassy new wave bauble that raised the stakes to an unachievable level of cool and gave the UK group their first US Billboard Hot 100 hit. With its guitar lick smoothly assembled into a cocktail of sparking synths and drum machines and with Debbie Harry sounding so effortlessly deadpan, "Heart of Glass" bridged rock with disco (the band dubbed it "The Disco Song") and rang the bell for what was to come. The first iteration of "Heart of Glass" was written in 1974 and released as the third single from Blondie's seminal 1978 album, Parallel Lines—which yielded hits in "Hanging on the Telephone" (a cover of The Nerves' song of the same name)—"One Way or Another" and "Picture This"—and holds timeless appeal. In 2020, the song was given a new lease of life when it was performed by Miley Cyrus at the iHeartRadio Music Festival and later went viral on TikTok.
