Add the Blonde is the debut studio album by Polish singer Margaret. A pop record, it was influenced by retro-disco and ska, and by the work of Madonna.[3] The album was produced by Joakim Buddee, Martin Eriksson, and Ant Whiting.[4]
Add the Blonde was released on 26 August 2014, only in Poland. It consists of fourteen English-language tracks: eight new, and six previously included on Margaret's 2013 extended play (EP) All I Need.[5][6] The album spawned three singles: "Wasted", "Start a Fire", and "Heartbeat".[7][8] On 30 December 2014, Add the Blonde was released as a 12-inch vinyl, with altered tracklist.[9]
The album's reissue was released exclusively to Biedronka on 19 September 2016, followed by its official release on 2 December.[10][11] It included the singles "Cool Me Down" (and its three remixes) and "Elephant", and Margaret's Polish-language version of Robin Beck's song "First Time" titled "Smak radości" which was used in a Polish Coca-Cola commercial.[11] On 23 December 2016, the "Special Limited Box" edition of the album was released to Empik. The box included its reissue and the 12-inch vinyl, as well as a 7-inch vinyl of "Heartbeat" (A-side) and "Cool Me Down" (B-side).[12]
Add the Blonde reached number eight on the Polish Albums Chart, and was certified platinum by the Polish Society of the Phonographic Industry (ZPAV).[13][14]
