Directed by: Keef
Blondie’s “Rapture,” released on January 12, 1981, as the second single from their fifth studio album, *Autoamerican*, is a groundbreaking track that blends new wave, disco, funk, and hip-hop elements. Notably, it became the first song featuring rap vocals to reach number one on the Billboard Hot 100 chart. The accompanying music video, directed by Keef, features Debbie Harry dancing through a vibrant New York City scene, with appearances by artists like Jean-Michel Basquiat and Fab Five Freddy, capturing the essence of the early 1980s art and music scene.
