Joan Jett & The Blackhearts – Mindsets (BFRSD23)

Mindsets, Joan Jett and the Blackhearts’ latest release features six brand new originals plus live versions of the tracks. The album serves as a reminder of what the band is all about – the perfect blend of punk and rock n’ roll that feels timeless and immediate at once. ‘If You’re Blue’ kicks off the EP with the band’s signature crunchy, distortion forward guitar, hooky chorus, and Jett’s powerful, snarling vocals. Every track has its own spin on the band’s signature tight instrumentation and heavy guitar riffs which provide the perfect backdrop for Jett’s vocals, creating a sound that is both powerful and infectious. Jett’s voice is a force to be reckoned with as her powerful vocals are full of attitude and emotion. She delivers each song with strong conviction and energy.
