Blonde Ambition

BLONDE AMBITION

What is it about Blondes that music so interesting?
The ones you can rely on to make life taste a little more like sprinkled sugar on top?

Debbie Harry famously dyed her hair blonde, leaving only a square patch at the base of her hair her natural colour; why did she dye it that bit lighter? Why does anyone?

Delta Goodrem produced some of her darkest music when she had a mop of brown hair, granted, she had just recovered from cancer thus provoking such emotions, but later when she dyed her hair back to blonde, it was like shedding skin. She felt free and in love with music again.


Madonna, the chameleon of them all, has changed from all manner of shades, yet always migrated back to the honey tones she fashions today.
Hair colour, obviously, has nothing to do with music, yet when one dyes their hair they feel like a different person; a new person. Naturally, we find ourselves acting 'how a brunette would act', which is basically stereotyping a person by their hair colour, however, this must have an impact on the minds of individuals and thus the music they create, right?




Madonna's Frozen was moodier than Hollywood:





Delta's Mistaken Identity darker than In This Life:



Christina Aguilera's Fighter more serious than Candy Man:




Pinks Family Portrait and Just Like A Pill were a lot greyer than So What



...Is this intentional? A coincidence? Are all of these talented ladies victims of the stereotype?

"My hair is darker therefore I feel/should feel more mature, sensible, sensitive, mysterious..."

Is the Betty/Marilyn debate a marketing tool and really, shouldn't matter at all?
