New music from American Blonde

Riding the wave of female empowerment in music, sisters Natalia and Christina Morris, known as American Blonde, are making their mark. Hailing from Cleveland, Mississippi, the pair have transitioned from their early days as a trio into a duo, fully embracing their own sonic vision exactly as they see it.

With the decision to rebrand as American Blonde, they’ve spent recent years immersing themselves in the songwriting scene of Nashville and further rooting themselves in the city’s music community. Taking time off the road allowed them to focus on the writing process, producing songs that reflect a deeper level of vulnerability and authenticity. In a reflection on this growth, the duo has expressed their pride in where their music is headed. “We’ve never been more ourselves,” they share and this newfound self-awareness shines brightly in their sound.

Drawing from their Delta roots, American Blonde fuses Southern rock and pop influences with the modern energy of alternative country with nods to the sounds they grew up on like The Eagles, Lynyrd Skynyrd, Fleetwood Mac and B.B. King. First unveiling their sound in 2020 via the debut single “Somethin’ in the Water,” they’ve shared multiple well-received singles and a full-length record while clocking millions of spins of their music online.

Now, American Blonde is back with their latest release, the new single titled “Broke Bridesmaid,” a fun track that perfectly distils their lighthearted side. The song dives into the often-overlooked stress of wedding season, poking fun at the financial pressure that comes with being a dedicated bridesmaid. From buying dresses and attending bachelorette parties to shower gifts and the countless other expenses, “Broke Bridesmaid” humorously captures the struggle of balancing personal finances while trying to be part of a friend’s special day.

Brought in by the twang of banjo, the rattle of the beat ushers in their smooth vocal leads as they thread picture painting lyricism about financial pressures and friendship. Grooving with lightly gritty guitars and infectious rhythm capped by instantly catchy hooks, the track presents a playful, singalong jam of pop-focused country music.

Brimming with charming vocal performance, slick rock-tinged arrangement and danceable rhythm, “Broke Bridesmaid” sees American Blonde continue going from strength to strength on their exciting musical adventure. Commenting on the single, Natalia offers, “I wrote this song with the sole intention of poking fun at that feeling you get when you’re saving up and trying to be responsible, but then wedding season hits. Suddenly, you’ve got another financial obligation—showing your loved ones all the biggest and best wedding-related things money can buy.” Adding, “We all know the struggle can be real sometimes, so our hope is that this song brings people together, and we can all laugh about it!”
