Legendary Rock & Roll Hall Of Famers, Joan Jett & The Blackhearts, have released the new single, “(I’m Gonna) Run Away”, off their first-ever acoustic album, Changeup, set for digital release on March 25 via Joan’s longtime independent label, Blackheart. A lyric video for the song can be found below.
Featuring chart-toppers like “Bad Reputation” and “Crimson And Clover”, it is at once intimate while capturing all the ferocity and menace for which Joan Jett is known. These 25 new, stripped-down recordings match the current moment in both sound and sentiment.
Changeup showcases Joan’s signature, blistering presence with an immediacy that allows listeners to delve into the lyrics with an entirely new slant. Changeup will be available on all digital streaming platforms, as well as in immersive audio including Sony 360 RA and Dolby Atmos. The vinyl release will follow later in 2022.
In 2021, Joan Jett & The Blackhearts released the single “Bad Reputation" (Acoustic), giving fans a preview of the sound that they can expect from Changeup. Listen below.
Preceding the release of Changeup, March 20, 2022 marks the monumental 40th anniversary of “I Love Rock & Roll” soaring to #1 on the Billboard charts and remaining there for 7 weeks.
