INTERVIEW WITH AMERICAN BLONDE ABOUT THEIR LATEST SINGLE, BROKE BRIDESMAID
On Friday 13th September, American Blonde released their brand-new single, Broke Bridesmaid, and I recently caught up with Natalia and Christina to talk about the single and their plans for the rest of the year.
Hey Natalia and Tinka, it's been a very long time since we last did this. How are you?
Hi Kellie! We have been so great! It has definitely been a busy year, that’s for sure! We are so happy to chat with you again!
You recently released your brand-new single, Broke Bridesmaid can you please tell us a little about the song?
"Broke Bridesmaid" is an upbeat, funny song poking fun at the struggle of saving up and being responsible, especially when you get hit with another financial obligation when wedding season rolls around! There is no doubt that wedding culture has gotten a little out of hand, but at the end of the day, you will go above and beyond for the ones you love!
What made you want to release the song now?
We felt like it was the perfect time to release "Broke Bridesmaid" because I, Nata just recently got married! So amongst planning for my own wedding, Tinka jokingly said to me “guess it’s my turn to be the “broke bridesmaid!” reminding me of the song that I wrote shortly after being one in her wedding two years prior! We have both been bridesmaids for the last three years now in other friends’ and families’ weddings and with many more on the horizon, we felt like now was the most perfect time to release!
I have to say how different Broke Bridesmaid is to your previous music and I have to say I am loving the change within your music. Would you say you have changed your style within the release of this song? As it seems a little more relaxed.
Well thank you, Kellie! Yes, we did something a little different with this track. We brought in a new friend of ours, Jess Grommet to help us produce since this song was leaning more towards a funny, upbeat topic. We think he completely nailed the vision for this song, and we gotta tell ya - we are absolutely loving the response for it so far!

Natalia, you wrote the song what was the imagination behind the song?
Fun fact: I actually wrote "Broke Bridesmaid" after being the maid of honor in Tinka’s wedding back in 2022! She had just gone on her honeymoon, and just like clock-work, I was immediately asked to be in three more of my friends’ weddings. I remember looking back on how much fun I had helping Tinka celebrate her wedding season, and looking forward to all of the celebrating I get to help create with my other friends, but was wondering how I was going to afford all of them, haha! “Between the hair, nails, dress, gifts, bridal showers, flights, drinks, bachelorette trips” and MORE… it can get pretty pricey!
Also, you recently got married Natalia - how was the most magical day of your life?
Oh it was the best day ever. We were surrounded by everyone we know and love, the venue was absolutely beautiful, and of course, I got to marry my best friend!! We wouldn’t change a thing!
Did the song play a special part in your day for your bridesmaids?
Well of course! Our favorite moment was breaking it down on the dance floor with all of my bridesmaids to the new song, wearing our "Broke Bridesmaid" hats. We had many moments throughout the day where our bridesmaids sang and danced along, and it really brought some fun energy for everyone throughout the day!
Can you sum up Broke Bridesmaid in 3 words?
Exciting, Honorable, Expensive - haha!
With 2024 coming to a close what are the plans for the last few months of 2024?
We are working on a lot of behind-the-scenes branding throughout the rest of the year! We will be spending the time writing new songs, hitting the studio, and preparing for new adventures 2025 will bring!
Finally, I have to ask when can we expect you here in the UK?
We sure would love to come back! We want to make sure the next time we do that we can hit all of our favorite cities and make the most of it! You will definitely be the first to know when we do! *smiles*
Thank you so much for your time today, I am very grateful.
Thank YOU, Kellie! We cannot thank you enough for your continuous love and support for us and our music, and we cannot WAIT to see you again hopefully very soon!
