Add the Blonde is the debut studio album by Polish singer Margaret. It was released on 26 August 2014, only in Poland.[1]

A pop record, it was influenced by retro-disco and ska and by the work of Madonna.[2] While creating the album, Margaret worked with, among others, Swedish producers Joakim Buddee and Martin Eriksson and an English producer Ant Whiting.[3] Add the Blonde consists of fourteen English-language tracks, including songs from the All I Need EP and eight new songs. "Wasted", "Start a Fire" and "Heartbeat" were released as singles.[4][5][6]

Add the Blonde reached number 8 on the Polish Albums Chart, and was certified platinum in Poland by the Polish Society of the Phonographic Industry (ZPAV).

In 2016, the album was re-released. The reissue includes the singles "Cool Me Down" (and its three remixes) and "Elephant", as well as a song titled "Smak radości" recorded by Margaret in 2015 for Coca-Cola commercial.[7] The reissue was officially released on 2 December 2016,[8] however it was available for purchase since 19 September exclusively in Biedronka markets.[9]
