LISTEN: “Not the Only One” by blondestandard

Music
Shelia Taylor
November 5, 2024

A track that cuts through with its raw portrayal of betrayal and the strength found in moving forward is blondestandard’s latest single, “Not the Only One”. It’s not just a song about hurt; it’s a reflection on growth and empowerment, shaped by the experience of being taken for granted.

With its fearless honesty, blondestandard’s vocals channel both vulnerability and defiance, creating a dynamic performance that underscores the complexity of processing betrayal. With the song’s production complementing the narrative with a mix of sharp guitar riffs and steady rhythms, it intensifies the storytelling without overshadowing it.

blondestandard captures one’s attention with her thoughtful lyrics and delivery. She says,

“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. ”

Yet, she highlights how such painful lessons shape one, teaching boundaries and self-worth. This balance between acknowledging hardship and celebrating personal growth is what gives “Not the Only One” its power.
