After three decades of silence on the LP front, 4 Non Blondes have quietly re-entered the conversation. What started as sporadic reunion shows and a viral social media moment has turned into news of a proper follow-up record. Fans are buzzing as frontwoman Linda Perry and the band signal a return to recording and the stage.
New album on the way: what we know so far

Linda Perry’s parallel projects and documentary
Alongside the band news, Perry is issuing a new solo album called Let It Die Here. She also produced a documentary with the same name, reflecting on her time leading 4 Non Blondes and her later solo career. These projects appear to run alongside the band’s revival rather than replace it.
Lineup and live returns: who’s in the band
The reunion brings back the lineup fans remember most. Linda Perry handles lead vocals. Dawn Richardson is back on drums. Christa Hillhouse returns on bass and backing vocals, and Roger Rocha plays lead guitar. This is largely the same group that played together in 2014.
How TikTok reignited interest in a ’90s classic
A surge of short-form videos turned a 1993 hit into a present-day sensation. A mashup combining the band’s most famous song with a Nicki Minaj track sparked the trend. The clip format — a duet-style lip-sync and movement routine — made it a perfect fit for viral sharing.
- The trend amassed millions of uses on the platform.
- Creators from celebrities to activists participated.
- The band shared a highlight reel of fan posts online.
Notable figures who joined the trend
Several high-profile creators and stars were featured in the band’s compilations. The playlist of viral clips included musicians, actors, chefs, and public advocates.
- Joe Jonas
- Sabrina Carpenter
- Ice Spice
- Gordon Ramsay
- Malala Yousafzai
- Jennifer Lopez appeared with Linda Perry in a clip shared by the band.
Why the reunion feels different this time
Perry has said the mood around reuniting shifted recently. What began as a casual set of shows grew more enjoyable and creative. She described moving away from behind-the-scenes roles and embracing being an active performer again.
Attempts at new collaborations and limitations
Perry explored expanding the viral mashup into a recorded collaboration with Nicki Minaj. Scheduling and geography made an in-person session impossible, and Perry prefers working face-to-face rather than exchanging files remotely. That kept the joint studio idea from coming together.
Early reaction from fans and the music world
The announcement and social media resurgence produced quick fanfare. Short-form video exposure pushed streaming interest and brought the band back onto young listeners’ radars. Industry observers see the move as an example of how legacy acts can find new life through digital platforms.
Upcoming live dates and what to expect
The group already toured a handful of reunion shows earlier this year, their first since a one-off performance in 2014. Those sets helped build momentum ahead of the studio announcement. Expect a mix of classic songs and new material when the band next appears live.
