Joan Jett & the Blackhearts are making headlines with the announcement of new music, the first in over a decade, and for "I Hate Myself For Loving You," playing during the end credits of The Marvelous Mrs. Maisel episode. Ultimate Classic Rock reports the new album, Mindset, can be pre-ordered and will release on June 2, but for now, you can check out the brand new single "If You're Blue."
The new album features six original songs, including the first released, "If You're Blue," highlighting that Joan Jett still has it with her iconic husky voice. The song has a punky surfer vibe and will have fans dancing and singing along. Check it out below.
Joan Jett & the Blackhearts will join Bryan Adams on a US summer tour that begins June 6 in Baltimore and ends August 3 in Seattle. Check out all the dates on the band's website. The band toured with Def Leppard, Motley Crue, and Poison on the Stadium Tour, which was a significant success.
"I Hate Myself For Loving You" is a single released in 1988 from the band's sixth album, Up Your Alley. The single hit #8 on Billboard Hot 100 and #10 on the Top 100 Singles chart and was the first hit from the band since the early '80s. The song was recently pushed back into the limelight when featured in the final season of the Amazon Prime series The Marvelous Mrs. Maisel during the end credits of episode 4, "Susan." On July 21, 2023, in celebration of Up Your Alley's 35th anniversary, the vinyl LP will be available nationwide, marking the first time the album has been pressed to vinyl outside of the Record store day pressing in April 2023.
