Linda Perry 'did not like 4 Non Blondes'

Singer-songwriter Linda Perry has admitted that she was not a fan of her previous band 4 Non Blondes.

Perry penned the hit 4 Non Blondes song 'What's Up?', from the 1992 album Bigger, Better, Faster, More!.

Speaking to Rolling Stone, Perry, whose new band is called Deep Dark Robot, said that she cried when she heard the sole 4 Non Blondes LP.

"Deep Dark Robot doesn't cover 4 Non Blondes. I'm not supposed to tell you this and my publicist said to me, 'Please don't say this' - but I wasn't really a big fan of my band," Perry said.

She added: "I didn't like the record at all. 'Drifting' was the only song I loved. I did love 'What's Up?' but I hated the production.

"When I heard our record for the first time I cried. It didn't sound like me. It made me belligerent and a real asshole. I wanted to say, 'We're a f**king bad-ass, cool band. We're not that fluffy polished bulls**t that you're listening to'. It was really difficult."

Perry has produced songs for popstars including Pink, Gwen Stefani and Christina Aguilera.

Aguilera recently promoted Perry's new album with Deep Dark Robot on Twitter.

The record producer performed with Pink at an annual gay and lesbian benefit dinner in Los Angeles last May.
