Dolly Parton (@dollyparton) is the most honored and revered female Country singer-songwriter of all time and was recently inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame. Not too long ago, she released a touching music video for her “What’s Up? (feat. Linda Perry)” single, a stirring rendition of 4 Non-Blondes’ hit, “What’s Up?” which features the song’s writer and lead singer, Linda Perry.
The touching video was filmed at Eakin Elementary School in downtown Nashville on one of 2023’s hottest days of the year. It was directed by Steve Summers and produced by NOZ Entertainment.

“How is one supposed to react when the greatest and most prolific songwriter in the world wants to cover a song YOU wrote? Her version of ‘What’s Up?’ is so good. Her spin on it made me feel like it was her song. No surprise there. Being on set making the video was a comfortable easy experience. The vibe on set was chill and Dolly and I got to catch up and laugh a lot. I could go on and on, obviously, I’m a fan!” – Linda Perry of 4 Non-Blondes stated
“What’s Up? (feat. Linda Perry)” is a heartfelt song about the at-times, overwhelming pressures of the world around us and the need for release. Dolly’s angelic and hopeful voice ushers in a sense of promise for a better tomorrow.
Furthermore, “What’s Up? (feat. Linda Perry)” is the latest track off her upcoming Rock n’ Roll album, “Rockstar,” available on November 17th via Butterfly Records. Fans can pre-order an array of “Rockstar” vinyl and CD box sets via Dolly Parton’s website.

“First of all, I love Linda Perry. Second of all, I love this song written by Linda. Third of all, I love being a part of this video to try to make people think about what’s going on in this world today. Shout out to the little children that helped with the video! If our children don’t make it, then what will? Again, I ask ‘What’s Up?’ Enjoy.” – Dolly Parton stated
