New York Times: Still Punk, Still Proud, Still Breaking the Rules

"About 20 years ago Debbie Harry was a regular on the Chelsea docks. Along with Chris Stein, Ms. Harry — the peroxide-blond frontwoman of Blondie, the pioneering punk-new wave group that she and Mr. Stein founded — would prowl the decrepit waterfront late at night. 'There were just a few old fishermen out there, and signs forbidding you to go out,' she recalled. 'We used to always climb out on the piers. Enter at your own risk in New York style, you know. It was romantic.'"

Chicago Free Press: Dance Vibes - Womankind

"'Necessary Evil' (Eleven Seven Music), Harry’s new disc, is her first solo effort in nearly 15 years (and only the fifth album of her solo career). With all that time to make up for, she doesn’t waste a moment in getting the dance party started with the vibrant 'Two Times Blue,' inviting us to call her 'Miss Calculation' and confirming that we’ll be 'two times blue' if she goes. The track bounces along on a friendly dance-beat and listening to her unmistakable vocals is like having a reunion with a long-lost friend."

PopMatters: "Acufunkture" Revisited - An Interview with Nile Rodgers

"Musically and artistically, and on other levels, we had overlapping similarities. Debbie and Chris turned me on to a lot of cool stuff. They turned me on to H.R. Giger first [and] all the artwork they collected. Debbie and Chris turned me onto hip-hop. Before those guys, I never really knew about hip-hop, I didn’t know about it as a cultural movement. I knew DJs used to rap over records but I always thought that everybody who rapped were MCs at clubs or on the radio. I never realized that people from the streets were doing it, too."

PopMatters: Get Ready for Her Sexy Battle

Necessary Evil is an album that doesn’t adhere to any pre-determined template. It’s like a sound exhibit of Harry’s musical soul. 'It was just such an easy collaboration,' Harry explains about her working relationship with Super Buddha, who’d previously done tracks for Rufus Wainwright and Scissor Sisters. 'We really collaborated from top to bottom. We wrote the songs together and produced and recorded them together. They’re really talented people and it was really a pleasure to work with them.'

Freep: Deborah Harry still plays it sexy

"'You're Too Hot' is a raunchy slice of garage-punk -- all loud and nasty, but that's just a lead-in to the aptly named 'Dirty and Deep.' This one is reminiscent of the Blondie dance hits 'Rapture' and 'Atomic,' with electronic bloops and beats providing the backdrop for Harry's lascivious line, 'You've gotta lick it like you love it / All over me.'"

SF GATE: Pop Quiz - DEBORAH HARRY

"Q: The title track is a love song. Who writes a love song with the lyric, 'The secret ingredient is the knife in the cake'? A: It's sort of like when love takes you prisoner, there's no escape, and they used to put the knife in the cake. It's also the knife in the wedding cake, so it sort of has a double visual. Q: What you're saying is that it is a double-edged knife? A: It's a symbolic knife. Let's not go too far with this."
