True Love

Pat Benatar

A sharp left turn into jump blues and big band swing. Stripping away the synthesizers for brass sections, smoky vocals, and vintage guitar grit.

It's Pat Benatar fronting a 1940s jump-blues band in a smoky basement club, and it actually works.

A sophisticated and soulful celebration of vintage blues and swing with a late-night edge.

Moments Worth Waiting For
The brass section punch that kicks off Bloodshot Eyes, signaling the hard pivot away from arena rock.
The smoky, late-night restraint of Evening where Benatar trades her belt for a velvet croon.
Neil Giraldo's stinging, T-Bone Walker inspired guitar solo on I Get Evil.
