There are few artists who can grip you with the first song you hear, but in three minutes and 44 seconds, Blondshell makes her presence known. Just try not to immediately hit repeat.
Blondshell is the stage name of LA-based singer/songwriter Sabrina Teitelbaum. Born in New York City, Teitelbaum was drawn to the confessional nature of such musicians like Tracey Chapman, Elliott Smith, and Patti Smith. On her very first single, “Olympus,” premiering on NYLON below, she joins their ranks with a raw take on heartbreak and addiction. “I wanna save myself you’re part of my addiction/I just keep you in the kitchen while I burn,” she sings over unrelenting slinky guitars.
In her forthcoming music, expect similarly cutting lyrics on topics such as coming to terms with her queerness, becoming sober, and being saved. (The upcoming “Veronica Mars,” she laments of adulthood through the lens of the hit teen drama, singing, “Veronica Mars, 2000 oughts/Logan’s a dick; I’m learning that’s hot.”)
