Up-and-coming new artist, Blondshell, and her new single “What’s Fair”
The up and coming artist Sabrina Teitelbaum, or Blondshell by her stage name, recently released a new single “What’s Fair.” The single has been an unreleased fan favorite for Blondshell at past shows. Now it’s released to the world on all platforms for everyone to enjoy.
You’re immediately drawn to the lyrics, with words so vulnerable and bold that could only be written with such a commendable willingness to be open with the songwriting. The lyrics leave a powerful and emboldening sentiment within listeners due to their exposed and confessional nature. Blondshell fiercely attacks the intricate nature of a daughter’s relationship with her mother and all the expectations that come along with such a relationship. “What’s Fair” is a beautiful and raw response to a seemingly nearing toxic mother-daughter relationship.
As eye-catching as the lyrics are, they don’t distract from the overall production of the song. There is still a nice balance between the cathartic songwriting and the energetic sound. “What’s Fair” is playful and airy; a perfect addition to a live show with the natural pauses and nonsensical screams as well as the heavenly harmonies. The single is quite the grunge throwback, with touches of modernity embedded throughout. It successfully mixes the past with a touch of the present, creating an exciting sound that leaves one eager for new music from Blondshell.
The release of “What’s Fair” was accompanied by a music video, which offers insight into Blondshell’s persona. Along with its 90s retro throwback look, there is a touch of the indie genre and feminine flair that also draws one’s attention. The commitment to the style as seen with the retro editing, not only compliments the melodic musical components but also portrays Blondshell’s notable attention to her craft.
However, this isn’t her first time around the block. Blondshell has made a name for herself through her self-titled debut album, released in 2023. Comprising nine songs, Blondshell tastefully brings back a much needed grunge sound in modern music. Blondshell has successfully created space for herself in the indie-grunge genre, becoming the artist to watch.
Her work has taken her to stages across the world, accrewing her a devoted fanbase. With her debut album, she has toured North America and has even landed her song, “Joiner,” a spot on Barack Obama’s playlist. In such a short time, she has also made it to the stages of renowned festivals such as Glastonbury and Lollapalooza. This is just the beginning for Blondshell as she is embarking on more tour dates this Fall.
