4 Non Blondes & Frontwoman Linda Perry to Release New Albums Next Year on Kill Rock Stars

4 Non Blondes, whose 1993 hit “What’s Up?” went viral on TikTok this year via a mashup with Nick Minaj‘s “Beez in the Trap,” will release a new album next year through Kill Rock Stars, the label tells Billboard, marking the band’s first release in more than three decades.

The as-yet-untitled new album will be released through a new Kill Rock Stars imprint, 670 Records, which the label is co-launching with 4 Non Blondes frontwoman Linda Perry. As part of the agreement, Perry is additionally readying a new solo album, Let It Die Here, also for release through Kill Rock Stars/670 in 2026.

Despite achieving success with “What’s Up?” and the band’s platinum-certified 1992 debut album Bigger, Better, Faster, More!, released by Interscope, 4 Non Blondes disbanded in 1994, leading Perry to embark on a lucrative career as a songwriter and producer for star artists including Christina Aguilera (“Beautiful”), Gwen Stefani (“What You Waiting For?”) and P!nk (“Get the Party Started”). After more than 30 years apart, she recently reunited with founding 4 Non Blondes bassist Christa Hillhouse, as well as drummer Dawn Richardson and guitarist Roger Rocha, both members of the group’s original touring band. This year, the reunited foursome played a handful of shows, with three more set for later this month in L.A. and San Francisco.

“I put my feelers out into the universe,” said Perry in a statement of bringing the band back together, initially by setting up a rehearsal in San Francisco. “Playing some songs with 4 Non Blondes just seemed like a fun thing to do, in a way it hadn’t before now. I’ve been behind the scenes for far too long. I want to step out to be the artist I am. I’m just open to all the possibilities that I’ve created around me. I manifest things all the time.”

Perry added that she subsequently wrote “a bunch of new songs, revisit[ed] some old ones, and bam, we have an album. It’s really that simple. They’re all phenomenal players and now they get a chance to show that. I couldn’t ask for a better band to play these songs.”

In the wake of the band’s reunion, “What’s Up?” enjoyed its viral TikTok moment, with the mashup reaching No. 1 on the platform’s trending song charts and generating more than 3 million user-created videos, according to the label; the track also re-entered Billboard‘s Hot Rock & Alternative songs chart. Celebrities who have participated in the trend include Madonna, Jennifer Lopez, and Khloe Kardashian and Kylie Jenner.

The relationship with Kill Rock Stars arose after the label approached Perry’s team about reissuing her debut solo album, In Flight, on vinyl for this year’s Record Store Day Black Friday. The label says those conversations led to talk of collaborating on new music.

“Our partnership with Linda Perry reflects exactly what Kill Rock Stars stands for,” said Sydney Christensen and Rob Jones of Kill Rock Stars in a joint statement. “Her fearless creativity, her career-long commitment to amplifying authentic voices, and her instinct for nurturing artists align directly with our mission. Perry’s body of work, spanning songwriting, production, and artist development, has inspired us for years, showing how visionary, emotionally honest music can shape generations. We share a deep passion for championing singular talent and creating space for artists to take risks, evolve, and be truly heard.”

Added Perry in a statement on the Kill Rock Stars partnership, “I’m super excited to partner up with Kill Rock Stars for yet another release. Let It Die Here, my new album, needs a dedicated and creative team behind it. For me, releasing music is a very personal and intimate experience so I want to know that the company I’m going on this journey with is supporting art and longevity. I feel very confident saying that John Burk and everyone at Kill Rock Stars are intent on building a company led by architects, sculptors, and musicians.”
