Fans of one 1990s band whose biggest song has stood the test of time will be very happy to hear the latest update on the group's long-awaited new music. 4 Non Blondes, which was founded in 1989 and currently consists of members Linda Perry, Christa Hillhouse, Dawn Richardson, and Roger Rocha, is officially releasing a new album in 2027.

The band's lead singer, Perry, revealed the release date update to NME, getting fans even more excited for 1994. She talked with the publication at the 2026 Ivor Novello Awards, saying, "4 Non Blondes are going to release a record in top of 2027, but I'm going [to] drop a couple songs on this side of the year too."

As for what exactly fans can expect from the new songs, she went on, "It sounds like we wrote and recorded it in 1994… So that's what I'm calling the record, 1994."

"It's dumb and fun and it has my Linda Perry touches on there, where it gets a little emotional and deep and political. But it's a rocking record, and it sounds like it would've been our natural second record," Perry added.

This will be the first new album from 4 Non Blondes since their hit debut, Bigger, Better, Faster, More!, which came out in 1992. The group made a big impact with their sole album, and their hit song, "What's Up?", continues to be a beloved track from the era.

In late 1994, when 4 Non Blondes was working on what would've been their second album, tensions arose between the members. They ended up disbanding, and Perry launched her successful solo career soon after.

As for what led to the exciting reunion decades later, Perry said, "I felt like it was a good time to put the band back together. I get asked about it all the time and I always say no, but this time I put it out in the universe myself. It just felt like time."
