4 Non Blondes frontwoman Linda Perry has announced the details of her new solo album, Let It Die Here.
The record is due out on May 8. Its first single is a new rendition of the song “Beautiful,” which Perry had originally written before it became a hit for pop star Christina Aguilera in the early 2000s.
“When I wrote ‘Beautiful,’ I had no idea I was struggling inside,” Perry says in a statement. “‘I am beautiful no matter what they say.’ ‘They’ represents the insecurities we all face, the fear that makes people unkind simply because someone or something is different.”
“‘Beautiful’ is about self-expression, being free to be whoever you want to be,” she continues. “‘Don’t you bring me down today.’ Don’t you dare try to make me feel less than, not good enough, or ugly because I don’t look like you. Don’t treat me like I don’t matter just because I do not speak or think like you. I will shine in every single way, and no one can take that from me, you, or anyone.”
You can watch the video for Perry’s “Beautiful” streaming on YouTube. Perry will be performing the song on Tuesday’s episode of Jimmy Kimmel Live! on ABC.
Along with Let It Die Here, a Perry documentary of the same name is set to premiere in theaters in May. Perry is also working on the first 4 Non Blondes album since their 1992 debut, due out later in 2026.
Here’s the Let It Die Here track list: “Balboa Park” “Stupid Yellow Kite” “Push Me in the River” “Is That All You Got” “Let It Die Here” “Mourning” “What Lies With You” “I Am Daughter” “Anxiety” “The Suitcase” “Beautiful” “Feathers in a Storm” “Deep Breath” “Now That She’s Gone” “Sunday Best” “Liberation” “Albatross”
