Blondestandard is back with her new single “California Dreams”

Los Angeles, CA [March 25, 2022]The newest single by blondestandard explores the ins and outs of her hometown: Hollywood. “California Dreams”(out now) is a mature sonic offering with a message that is anything but fake.

“The city can play you back… It’s all a big game”-blondestandard on “California Dreams”

Los Angeles is a beast of its own, but being born/raised in the city of stars gives you an outlook quite unlike anything else. Caroline Grace Vein (AKA blondestandard) has always had eagerness for the industry embedded in her soul, yet she also had an understanding that so many around her acted out of insecurity. Thus, the singer/songwriter set out to create a track that sounds dreamy like an LA fantasy all while packing a lyric punch of strength and self-security. The result is “California Dreams,” an ironic take on the city in the form of a downright earworm.

The second single from blondstandard came from “a lot of looking around while also looking inward.Written in July while in between school course and career steps, the artist had time to forgo her non-stopmentality and sit with her feelings. She couldn’t stop reflecting on the insanity of the city that she hadalways called home. “California Dreams” fleshes out the narrative of the vast Los Angeles ocean beingequally full of fish and sharks. In many ways, the dance-inducing track is a mature offering coming afterher debut single,“BLUE EYES.”Where “BLUE EYES” focusedon one part of Los Angeles (themale-dominated music industry), “California Dreams” looks at the city as a whole, yet both boastbeyond-the-surface meanings that only sonic creation can uncover.

From accessorizing her school uniforms to spending her high school days making magnificent visual art, expressing herself has always been a necessity for Caroline. The extent of her artistry sees no bounds. With more singles on the way and an outlook on the world mature beyond her years, blondestandard is set to be an artist to keep an eye on in 2022.
