What’s Up? By 4 Non Blondes’
This week, Lena and Avery take a deep dive into one of the most recognizable anthems of the 90s—What’s Up? by 4 Non Blondes. From its unforgettable chorus to Linda Perry’s raw and emotional vocals, this song became a defining track of the decade. But did you know it was never actually called What’s Going On despite what most people think?
Join us as we explore the song’s unexpected rise to fame, its impact on alternative rock, and how it became an enduring karaoke and singalong favorite. We’ll also discuss the band’s short-lived career, Linda Perry’s surprising pivot into songwriting and producing for pop superstars, and why What’s Up? remains a cultural touchstone decades later.
So grab your flannel, turn up the volume, and ask yourself the age-old question: What’s going on?!
