Following the release of one of 2025’s most acclaimed albums - If You Asked For A Picture - Blondshell (Sabrina Teitelbaum) visited the LA studios of Sirius XMU for a spotlight session and ever since fans have been clamoring for the official release of her take of Addison Rae’s “Diet Pepsi” which she performed that day. Responding to the groundswell of demand for her moody and swoon-worthy reinterpretation, Blondshell has officially released the cover across all DSPs. She says, “I love Addison’s music and this is my fave song of hers! It was on repeat for me when it came out so when we went in to do a Sirius XMU session it was between this and ‘You’re Gonna Make Me Lonesome When You Go’ by Bob Dylan. Glad we went with this one.”

Blondshell’s sophomore album, If You Asked For A Picture, was released to worldwide acclaim, recently earning spots on both Rolling Stone and Consequence’s lists of the best albums of 2025 so far. The record builds on the promise of her 2023 debut, which established her as one of the most lauded new voices in indie rock. Reuniting with producer Yves Rothman, Blondshell crafts a collection brimming with urgency, ambition, and emotional precision. The album channels the same specificity, self-examination, and nonchalant humor that made her debut so magnetic—only now with even greater force. 

Teitelbaum and her band are currently touring the world on her “If You Asked For A Tour” which included a sold-out show at The Fonda Theater in Los Angles last month. Other sold-out shows include tomorrow’s stop at The Metro in Chicago, Brooklyn Steel in Brooklyn, NY, The 9:30 Club in DC, Royale in Boston, and more. This summer and Fall she will tour The UK and EU before returning stateside for another run in November. Tickets are on-sale here and all dates are below.

Leading to the release of If You Asked For A Picture Blondshell shared four of the album’s singles - the cinematic “Event Of A Fire,” the metaphorical beating heart of the album “23’s A Baby,” the stripped-back introspection of “Two Times” and the album’s crushingly catchy “T&A” which Blondshell played on Jimmy Kimmel Live! - watch the performance HERE. Watch the videos below.

If You Asked For A Picture’s title borrows its title from a 1986 poem by the cherished American writer Mary Oliver, titled “Dogfish.” In it, Oliver grapples with the idea of telling one’s own story: how much to share, how much to keep for oneself — all questions Teitelbaum asked herself while writing the forthcoming LP. “There’s a part of the poem that says: ‘I don’t need to tell you everything I’ve been through. It’s just another story of somebody trying to survive,’” Teitelbaum says. “Something I love about songs is that you’re showing a snapshot of a person or a relationship, and showing a glimpse into a story can be just as important as trying to capture the entire thing. Sometimes it’s even truer to the entire picture than if you tried to write everything down.”

In the studio, Teitelbaum found herself confident and at home like never before, trusting her instincts as she developed an almost telekinetic shorthand with producer Yves Rothman. The result is a record of astounding sonic range – including sky-scraping ballads and colossal hooks that soar over waves of distortion, mixing layered textures and harmonic flourishes, or making unexpected hairpin turns between them. Primary among her production touchstones were unexpected curveballs like Queens of the Stone Age’s Rated R and Red Hot Chili Peppers’ Californication. Teitelbaum reveled in appropriating those hyper-masculine aesthetics for her uncompromising examinations of young womanhood, playing with performances of gender in rock. “It’s empowering for me to use sonic references that feel reserved for men,” she explains.

In the time since Blondshell, the image of Teitelbaum’s life has changed considerably. As the accolades accrued she spent more time on the road than at home. This rootlessness naturally impacted Teitelbaum’s relationships with others and with herself. “When you travel a lot, you see different possibilities for who you can be,” Teitelbaum says. “So there were a lot more questions coming up. What do I want my life to look like? Maybe it’s just the nature of being two years older, but I’m more comfortable with nuance now, and I’m more comfortable with gray areas.” There’s an open-endedness to where If You Asked For A Picture lands: it’s a no-skips, triumphant sophomore record that captures the unresolved process of figuring out who you are, too wise to suggest that it has a definitive answer. Read the full bio for If You Asked For A Picture here
