Blondestandard

Blondestandard, the musical project of Los Angeles-bred artist Caroline Grace Vein, is a testament to resilience and artistic evolution. Immersed in the city’s vibrant cultural tapestry from a young age, Vein’s musical journey was shaped by the diverse sounds and stories that permeated her surroundings. However, shortly after releasing her debut singles, a challenging cancer diagnosis abruptly altered her course.

Facing adversity with unwavering determination, Vein channeled her creativity into her music during two years of rigorous treatment. This period of profound personal growth deepened her connection to her craft, resulting in a sound that is both raw and refined.

Blondestandard’s music is a dynamic blend of alternative rock, pop sensibility, and funk grooves, reflecting the multifaceted influences that have shaped Vein’s artistic vision. Her music is characterized by authenticity and emotional depth, establishing her as a distinctive voice in the burgeoning indie music scene.

NOT THE ONLY ONE

Blondestandard’s single ‘NOT THE ONLY ONE’ is a raw and unflinching exploration of the emotional turmoil that arises from experiencing betrayal by someone you trusted. The song delves into the profound frustration of being taken advantage of, particularly for those who inherently lead with kindness and openness. It poignantly captures the painful realization that not everyone possesses the same integrity and that their actions may not align with your best interests.

Vein’s lyrics offer a candid reflection on the challenges of navigating such experiences. While acknowledging the profound hurt and disillusionment, the song emphasizes the invaluable lessons learned – the importance of establishing healthy boundaries, cultivating self-respect, and refusing to allow kindness to be exploited.

‘NOT THE ONLY ONE’ transcends mere catharsis. It’s a testament to personal growth, recognizing that these difficult experiences, though painful, ultimately contribute to a deeper understanding of oneself and the world. The song encourages listeners to acknowledge their pain, find closure within their own experiences, and ultimately utilize those lessons to cultivate strength and resilience.

It’s about the frustration of being used—especially when you’re someone who leads with kindness and openness—only to realize too late that not everyone has your best interests at heart. It’s not easy to go through these experiences, but as much as they hurt, they also teach you invaluable lessons about boundaries, self-respect, and not letting people take your kindness for granted. I’ve found peace in being able to look back at those moments and realize that I’m better for having lived through them. The song isn’t just about the pain; it’s about acknowledging that pain, finding closure, and using it to grow.
