There are comebacks that do not respond to nostalgia, but to a vital need.4 Non Blondes<\/strong> is one of them.<\/p>\n\n

Thirty-four years after Bigger, Better, Faster, More!<\/em> -a single album that was enough to leave an eternal mark in the history of alternative rock- the band led by Linda Perry<\/strong> returns to the studio to record their first new album since 1992<\/strong>. An event as improbable as it is powerful. <\/p>\n\n

The album, as yet untitled, will be released in 2026<\/strong> and will be released through Kill Rock Stars<\/strong>, the legendary independent label that will mark this comeback with an even more significant gesture: the creation of 670 Records<\/strong>, a new imprint co-managed by Perry herself.<\/p>\n\n

It’s not just a comeback. It’s a reckoning with time. <\/p>\n\n

\n\n

When “What’s Up?” was just the beginning<\/h2>\n\n

For many, 4 Non Blondes is synonymous with “What’s Up?”.<\/em>A generational anthem that transcended decades, genres and labels. But to reduce the band to that single would be to ignore what it really represented: an angry, vulnerable and spiritual female voice in an industry that didn’t know what to do with it<\/strong>. <\/p>\n\n

After the global success, the band quickly disbanded. Linda Perry chose another path: to become one of the most influential songwriters and producers of modern pop and rock<\/strong>, signing songs for Pink, Christina Aguilera, Gwen Stefani, Adele or Alicia Keys. <\/p>\n\n

For more than two decades, Perry was the unseen architect of great careers.Now, she decides to return to center stage.<\/p>\n\n

\n\n

Linda Perry has said “I’ve been behind the curtains too long.”<\/h2>\n\n

In the statement accompanying the announcement, Perry makes it clear:<\/p>\n\n

\n

“I’ve been behind the scenes for too long. I want to get back to being the artist I am.”<\/em><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n

The reunion was not born out of market pressure or a forced commemorative tour. It was born from something simpler and more honest: the desire<\/g>. The desire to play, to sing, to write from a different place than the industry. <\/p>\n\n

The new album will combine unreleased material with revisited old songs<\/strong>, suggesting a direct conversation between past and present. Not a repetition, but a reinterpretation from maturity. <\/p>\n\n

\n\n

Training travels towards continuity, memory and reconciliation<\/h2>\n\n

The return of 4 Non Blondes will feature a lineup loaded with meaning:<\/p>\n\n

    \n
  • Linda Perry<\/strong> – voice and creative soul<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  • Christa Hillhouse<\/strong> – bass, the only member present during the entire first stage<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  • Dawn Richardson<\/strong> – drums (original touring member)<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  • Roger Rocha<\/strong> – guitar (original touring member)<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n

    The announcement also recalls the absences that are part of the group’s history:original drummer Wanda Day<\/strong>, who passed away after an overdose, and guitarist Shaunna Hall<\/strong>, who left the band during the recording of the debut album and later joined Parliament-Funkadelic.<\/p>\n\n

    This return does not erase anything. It integrates the memory<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n

    \n\n

    Kill Rock Stars and 670 Records create a comeback with an indie identity<\/h2>\n\n

    That the album sees the light of day on Kill Rock Stars<\/strong> is not a minor detail. The label, home of fundamental artists of alternative and feminist rock, fits perfectly with the spirit of 4 Non Blondes. <\/p>\n\n

    In addition, the release will inaugurate 670 Records<\/strong>, Linda Perry’s new label, which will also release her next solo effort, Let It Die Here<\/em>, also due in 2026.<\/p>\n\n

    It is a statement of creative independence.A returning artist, but on her own terms.<\/p>\n\n

    \n\n

    Why does this comeback matter now?<\/h2>\n\n

    In an era dominated by algorithms, superficial revivals and packaged nostalgia, the return of 4 Non Blondes stands out for its artistic intentionality<\/strong>. They do not seek to recreate the 90s. They seek to dialogue with them. <\/p>\n\n

    Linda Perry is no longer the angry young woman she was then.She is a complete, conscious, free creator.And precisely for that reason, this new album has the potential to be more relevant than a simple historical curiosity<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n

    Sometimes a single song is enough to make history.But to come back 34 years later… that’s another kind of bravery.<\/p>\n\n
