Blondshell – real name Sabrina Teitelbaum – has announced details of her second album, If You Asked For A Picture.

The follow-up to 2023’s self-titled debut is due out on May 2 via Partisan Records, with its title inspired by Mary Oliver’s 1986 poem Dogfish.

“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,’” Sabrina explains. “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.”

Sabrina also teases that, “The first record feels really black-and-white to me. This record has more questions.”

You can hear a glimpse at that now with new single T&A. “There’s a Rolling Stones song on Tattoo You called Little T&A and at one point in the song, he says ‘tits and ass,’ so I’m borrowing that,” Sabrina shares. “I think in music it’s easy to see things as either more sexualized or more romantic, and I wanted this to be both.

“I see it as a love story – maybe not the most fairy tale love story – but I wanted it to feel like a really narrative song, where one thing leads to another and then you end up somewhere you didn’t expect. Normally that's not how I write, but I wanted a song like that.”
