Linda Perry Explains How Upcoming 4 Non Blondes Reunion Came to Be After 30 Years: 'I've Told the Universe I Want This'

Wondering what's up with '90s rockers 4 Non Blondes? They’re reuniting!

The group, who found fame with the hit “What’s Up?” in the early 1990s, then disbanded after just one album, will perform together for just the second time since their split at the BottleRock Napa Valley music festival in California in May.

In a new episode of The Allison Hagendorf Show, which PEOPLE is exclusively premiering, singer Linda Perry explains just how the stars aligned for 4 Non Blondes to take the stage together once again.

“It’s not [the right time] and I don’t know when it would [be]. It’s more like, honestly, it’s the right time in my head. It’s the right time in my heart,” she said. “I’ve been kind of putting that energy out, because I want 2025 to be my year. I want to own this year because I feel like I’ve been planting seeds all over the place and I’m watching my little trees grow.”

Perry, 59, co-founded 4 Non Blondes in San Francisco in the late 1980s with bassist Christa Hillhouse, guitarist Shaunna Hall and drummer Wanda Day (Day was later replaced by Dawn Richardson, while Roger Rocha took Hall’s spot). Their first and only album, Bigger, Better, Faster, More!, came out in 1992, and contained the enduring hit “What’s Up?”

Perry left the group in 1994, and the rockers have only played together once in the last 30 years, at a 2014 fundraiser for the Los Angeles Gay & Lesbian Center.

“We got this offer [for BottleRock]... and I’m like, ‘Okay, I knew this was coming.’ I want this to happen. I’ve told the universe I want this to happen,” she told Hagendorf. “And so it’s coming. So I called up the band, one by one. I said, ‘Hey, how do you guys feel about this?’ And mind you, we don’t talk. But they were excited, and so I’m gonna go hang out with them in San Francisco, rehearse and just dick around. Not really have a plan, but just see how it feels.”

The Grammy-nominated musician even teased that there may be some new releases on the horizon, as she considers her work “all or nothing.”

“I’ve been already brewing… There’s a second 4 Non Blondes record that [was] recorded. I’ll leave it there,” she said. “It was pretty decent. [But] I just couldn’t do it. My heart couldn’t do it. I was in a really bad space during that time, because my feelings get hurt so easily. And so I left the band because my feelings just kept getting hurt and I didn’t know how to deal with it.”

Perry previously opened up to PEOPLE in June about how she struggled amid the band’s fame, and said she and her former bandmates “don’t talk much at all.” She also said that “walking away from all of it was no big deal.”

“I had a hard time in the band; not because of them, because I wasn’t clear on the kind of music I wanted to do yet,” she said. “I was just really finding myself.”

After leaving 4 Non Blondes, Perry released the solo album In Flight in 1996. Her second solo album, After Hours, came three years later, and by the early 2000s, she’d established herself as a go-to hitmaker for stars like Pink, Christina Aguilera and Gwen Stefani.

The BottleRock Napa Valley music festival will take place from May 23-25.
