This was the only commercial hit by 4 NON BLONDES but the lead singer Linda Perry has gone on to write and produce many great songs for other artists. She wrote BEAUTIFUL by Christina Aguilera ( which you should respond to). She's written and worked with the likes of Dolly Parton, Pink, Miley Cyrus, Gwen Stefani, and many others.

Linda Perry is switching very smoothly between chest and head voice. Keeping her jaw dropped for beautiful vowels and LOTS of good air control to support everything. The breaks, frays, the the knowledge where to add grit gives her voice a very unique style.

[@rosieazatyan5923]

I concur with you 100%. I feel 8/10 singer’s are so worried about their facial expressions that causes not to reach their full potential of their given talent. Singers like Linda Perry and Sinaed O’Conner and few others don’t care how they look when they’re adding their own corky, amazing unique sounds that’s not heard to often from most artists.

Zombie, IMO, is one of their worst songs), Mazzy Star (Fade Into You), Jewel (Who Will Save Your Soul), Sheryl Crow (All I Wanna Do), Natalie Imbruglia (Torn), Lisa Loeb (Stay), and honestly, I could go on for a little while, but that oughta get you started.

This song was the voice of younger Gen-X & Xennials. It totally captures that feeling of disillusionment when you can’t deal with the cognitive dissonance anymore. This song is an ANTHEM. Not to mention, Linda Perry herself was the personification of “nah, I’m gonna do this my own way.” She remains influential to this day.

[@JillBrewerVideos]

The 90s was a refreshing time for women because we were shaking off the Pollyanna arm candy role of previous generations. Alanis Morissette allowed anger in You Oughta Know. No Doubt showed frustration with Just A Girl. And 4 Non Blondes raged with What’s Up. Of course, Janis started this vibe in the 60s, so credit to her. Subsequent generations just carry the torch.

@@salvador754 80s was definitely more varied... New wave, hair and heavy metal, regular rock, pop, rap rock beginning, etc. But for me the alternative rock of the 90s was the best... It brought together all the freaks and outcasts who didn't have a home. I remember my freshman year of high school i sat with all the preps and jocks i grew up with but hated it. First day of sophomore year I went to the "freaks" table at lunch... The longhairs/rockers/art nerds, etc and timidly asked if I could sit... I was coming from the popular table but was wearing an indie rock band shirt of some kind. They welcomed me without question and I had found my group.

Until this year when Beyoncé won her 28th Grammy the woman who had the lead with 27 Grammy wins and 42 nominations was a woman named Alison Krauss( like house but with kr) she has been labeled bluegrass/ country. I label her as a voice of an angel. One of my favorites is actually a cover she does called when you say nothing at all. Anyone who has not heard her do yourself a solid and listen.

[@jamesgalimo1007]

She did a lot of the songs on the soundtrack for "O Brother, Where Art Thou." Beautiful voice.

[@ericwalker8636]

I agree. There's just no other way to describe her voice. I had the good fortune to see her perform at a Les Paul tribute concert about 15 years ago. Stunning!

[@jasonbrosseau1056]

The Bangles - Hazy Shade of Winter and as others have already said Cranberries - Zombie and definitely more Beasties!

[@LauPulstar]

bangle swalk like an egytian too

[@wagstaff6135]

I like the Bangles, but if you're gonna do "Hazy Shade of Winter", I'd recomment the original Simon & Garfunkel first.

[@jasonbrosseau1056]

@@wagstaff6135 Well I thinking it for Female Fridays but agree that both versions are great.

[@jasonbrosseau1056]

@@LauPulstar Another great choice too. Nothing better than fun 80's music to make you forget about the issues of today.

[@wagstaff6135]

@@jasonbrosseau1056 Totally great for female Fridays... I agree. And I am not laying down the law at all, I just thought the original should be known first. Also because it's a slightly more aggressive side of Simon & Garfunkel, which Jordan asked about! But yeah, on a different day.

[@tracerow5516]

The lyrics are legendary. I mean really "what's going on" especially now like wtf

[@jrr1814]

You want something REALLY different, try Wuthering Heights by Kate Bush!

[@katybickel4163]

Yes!!! I absolutely love that song and the movie lol

[@ronnix23]

The lead singers name is Linda Perry. Unfortunately I believe 4 non blondes was a one hit wonder, but Linda Perry has written songs for many other artists including Pink (Get the Party Started) and Christina Aguilera (Beautiful).

[@johnjames6980]

She wrote a song for Adele too - it's on Adele 25.

[@GradyBroyles]

They had a couple of hits. But Linda broke up the band to go solo after only 1 record. :(

[@xperfloorcare]

I’ve heard pink remake this song WOW

[@BarryGGould]

i had the bigger better faster more album and i said from day one why is whats up the only hit on this album? theres some really really good songs on there. dear mr president, pleasantly blue, train, spaceman and drifting are all really good

[@joelrainey7537]

She also wrote a song for Alicia Keys and Courtney love and was inducted into the songwriters HOF but still its a shame because her voice is amazing

[@Michael-cf9cj]

Linda Perry (I think that's the singer's name) does have a fantastic voice. It's unique in that she does things nobody else seems to do. And she can put that grit in there and just wail. She really is a great vocalist from the 90s.

[@BrittneyWreford-mn2ww]

I was born 90,s music

[@Chical209]

Great female rockers- Joan Jett, Pat Benetar, Ann Wilson, Stevie Nicks, Annie Lennox

[@heliopaws]

“Heaven is a Place on Earth” by Belinda Carlisle for female fridays would be great i think. Happy Female Friday!!!!

[@giarogers]

Yes - was a huge fan when she was with the Go-Go's as well !

[@SnoWhite2420]

Yes!!

[@lisaldeene]

Linda Perry is such a unique vocalist and songwriter as well as a producer, having worked with incredible artists like Pink. She's one of a kind for sure.

I knew you'd like the song and her voice but, guys, you gotta check out Delores voice and the song Zombies by the Cranberries....it is so powerful!

I’m 11 years old when this dropped. I loved this album! 31 years later and it’s still giving me goosebumps!

I love love this song. Her voice is so unique. Great choice. Beth Hart has a very unique voice. It can be gravely and soft and loud and strong. She give her entire self every performance. I just know she's gonna be in your top 10of favorite female singers. She has quite a story too and she covers all genres. She was a winner on one of those singing talent shows. Shell give you chills. Promise.

"Criminal" by Fiona Apple for a future Female Fridays would be nice.

[@seanswinton6242]

Linda Perry is phenomenal! This band opened for Aerosmith. They were awesome live!

Luscious Jackson "Naked Eye" is another great song for female friday

And Kate Schellenbach the drummer is a founding member of the Beastie Boys. Luscious Jackson is produced and was the first band signed to the Beastie Boys label Grand Royale.

Listen to Linda Ronstadt, the first female superstar in the 70s. Kind of forgotten despite all her hours and success.

Another iconic voice and only one hit. Great song, great voice.

[@mudbug73us]

Love watching you two do your reactions! Linda Ronstadt sang an amazing range of genres. She has an INCREDIBLE talent. In the early 80's she was considered a "Rock Goddess". In 1983 she released the first of 3 Platinum albums of "big band Jazz standards" (40's "torch" songs)- a lot of folks miss this stuff when go back and listen to her music. One of my favorites is "I'VE GOT A CRUSH ON YOU -- LINDA RONSTADT WITH NELSON RIDDLE" kzbin.info/www/bejne/q5vIhWaQjblrn8U I think Amber might really enjoy this for a Female Friday.

Absolute powerhouse vocals

[@analogblues]

A great friggin' song!!I only wish they did more. But her vocals here are just INCREDIBLE.

[@xcellent-records]

Linda Perry was the lead singer of 4 Non Blondes. This was their only top hit. The band broke up while recording their second album because the lead singer was open as a lesbian and it caused problems with the other members of the band (because at that time coming out as a lesbian was something that people had mixed feelings about). The lead singer tried to have a solo career but it did not go anywhere. Years later, a top female singer, Pink, contacted Linda Perry and wanted her to write some songs for Pink's next album. The album was a huge success and since then Linda Perry has worked constantly as a songwriter and producer and has made lots of top songs for other artists (like Pink, Christina Aguilera; Alicia Keys; Gwen Stefani; Celine Dion;..) Linda Perry started her own record company and discovered/signed artist James Blunt.

[@drwalker6517]

Bullshit… this song was released in ‘93. Lesbians had been out of the closet for a decade or more. Not buying that.

[@garywaterman814]

Wow. You win the fastest bio given ever award. Lol Lots of great info. I knew some but learned a couple things. Thanks for the info. Fantastic 1 hit wonder.

[@maverick4you]

The entire original band were lesbian. Linda stated in her Behind The Music that the record label wanted a another Bigger, Better, Faster and More instead of band vision of follow-up album which she didn’t want.

[@KahlessTheUnforgettable]

I was a teen in the 90s. Lesbians were not a big deal. We had Lilith fair FFS

[@melvinsmiley5295]

Never really understood why they did not have other hits. This song was big…her voice is so unique…great band too.

I don't like the current music at all. I guess because of all the talent that I listened too from the seventies on. I look forward everyday to watching your reactions. You have just touched the tip of the iceberg. Welcome to the great journey you are on

[@matthewb9621]

I think you may have had the mental equivalent of cherry picking. There was some terrible music in the 70s onwards. As we get older we do tend to narrow our musical experience. I went from buying three singles a week to...nothing. That had nothing to do with the quality or lack of at the time. I just moved on. If that makes sense. .

[@richardkeating3575]

I loved the music of the 70's, grew up listening to it but I still listen to a lot of what's going on, maybe not so much mainstream anymore and I love a lot of it. Try Rag'n'bone Man Anywhere else but here (with Pink) or Pink Sweat$ Body ain't you, modern day classics, in my opinion.

[@GT-mq1dx]

I second that motion. As a child born in the 60’s that grew up in the 70’s and 80’s and was a young adult in the 90’s, the music for the most part stopped as far as I’m concerned. Yes there was some stuff still coming out in the 2000’s, but nothing can touch all of the great music that really were the albums to our lives. 😎

[@karengibson6872]

I adore you two, your joy is so infectious and lifts me. Thank you 😊
