Jett and The Blackhearts release 25 newly reimagined recordings

Joan Jett and The Blackhearts have release “(I’m Gonna) Run Away,” from their first-ever acoustic album, Changeup, set for digital release on March 25th from Jett’s longtime independent label, Blackheart. 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 and The Blackhearts have released the single “Bad Reputation (Acoustic)”, giving fans a preview of the sound that they can expect from Changeup.

On January 25th, Epiphone, the accessible brand for every stage, released the Joan Jett Olympic Special model, based on two of Jett’s longtime favorite stage guitars – the body and mechanics of her sunburst Olympic, with the color and recognizable sticker collection of her iconic white melody maker. The Epiphone Joan Jett Olympic Special is available worldwide.

Preceding the release of Changeup, March 20th marks the monumental 40th anniversary of “I Love Rock & Roll” soaring to No. 1 on the Billboard charts and remaining there for seven weeks.
