You cant put Bebe Rexha in a box. From her Grammy-winning songwriting roots on Eminems The Monster to global chart-toppers with David Guetta and Florida Georgia Line, Rexha has established herself as a premier musical chameleon. With her latest project, Dirty Blonde, she officially enters a new era as an independent powerhouse. Now signed to EMPIRE, the Brooklyn-born star has crafted a 13-song "genre kaleidoscope" that serves as her first-ever visual album, representing a total creative rebirth and a departure from the major-label system shes known since she was a teenager.

Recorded across London, Tokyo, and Europe, Dirty Blonde captures the energy of Rexhas global travels. The project seamlessly blends heavy-hitting dance floor anthems with deep, personal storytelling. With the lead single New Religion she takes us straight to the club by reimagining the iconic dance record Insomnia by Faithless. On Tokyo, she explores a drum & bass pulse inspired by a late-night rendezvous in Japan, while Cike Cike (produced by long-time collaborator DJ Snake) sees Rexha embracing her Albanian heritage by mixing traditional linguistic roots with modern 808 basslines.

At the emotional core of the album is the lead single, I Like You Better Than Me. The track strips away the pop-star veneer to tackle themes of insecurity and self-scrutiny, blending raw lyrics with a pop-rock edge. From the Jersey-bounce-meets-country vibes of Drink and a Little Love to her vulnerable reflections on fame, Dirty Blonde is a celebration of an artist who is finally playing by her own rules. As Rexha firmly asserts, The old Bebe is dead, leaving behind a focused, stronger creator who is making the music she truly loves.
