4 Non Blondes

623 Bigger, Better, Faster, More! by 4 Non Blondes

Bigger, Better, Faster, More!

Label
Interscope
Release year
1992
Producer
David Tickle

The one and only album by 4 Non Blondes is a showcase for Linda Perry's powerhouse vocals over pedestrian rockabilly, blues, funk, and rock.

Author & Special Guests

The past few decades have solidified Linda Perry as a pop songwriting machine for the likes of Pink, Christina Aguilera, Gwen Stefani, and many more artists in the 2000s. But the talent was already there in 1992 when "What's Up!" struck a chord with listeners as the first track off of the one and only 4 Non Blondes album "Bigger, Better, Faster, More!" While the neo-folk of "What's Up!" slotted in nicely alongside fellow non-grunge acts like Blind Melon, Spin Doctors, Blues Traveler, Dave Matthews Band, and others, the rest of the record tackles a variety of genres, like the shuffling blues of "Pleasantly Blue" to the bass-popping funk of "Superfly" to mixed results.
