On her 2022 breakout debut, Sabrina Teitelbaum, who performs as Blondshell, cemented herself as a voice for the modern woman. Lamenting about dating, substance abuse and violence against women, it perfectly captured the experiences of many 20-somethings. That trend continues on her latest record If You Asked for a Picture where Teitelbaum further embraces her confessional approach to songwriting and taps into complicated family dynamics. Channeling the angst of the ’90s and drawing inspiration from the decade’s femme fatales, her music is equal parts raucous and sensible. It evokes anger while also providing a sense of comfort and understanding.
Watch Blondshell perform “23’s A Baby,” “Toy” and “He Wants Me” live at The Basement East in Nashville.
