Bebe Rexha enters a fearless new era with DIRTY BLONDE, her first independent album.
Multi-platinum singer-songwriter Bebe Rexha returns with her new album DIRTY BLONDE, marking her first full-length release as an independent artist. With complete creative control, she steps into a new era that allows her to create music entirely on her own terms. As a result, the 13-track project stands as her most personal and uncompromising work to date.
At the same time, DIRTY BLONDE showcases every side of Rexha’s artistry. From high-energy dance tracks to emotionally vulnerable ballads, the album reflects both her versatility and her willingness to tell her story without holding back. Rather than following expectations, she embraces honesty, freedom, and artistic independence throughout the record.
DIRTY BLONDE Tracklist
For Bebe Rexha, DIRTY BLONDE represents more than a new album. It marks a return to the creative freedom that first inspired her love for music. Since partnering with EMPIRE in early 2026, she has regained full artistic autonomy, allowing every song to reflect her own vision and instincts.
The album opens with “Hysteria,” an explosive introduction driven by bold vocals and pulsing electronic production. From there, “Tokyo” shifts into a fresh direction, blending UK garage influences with playful experimentation. Consequently, the opening tracks establish the album’s fearless approach to genre and sound.
Meanwhile, one of the standout singles, “New Religion,” reunites Bebe Rexha with legendary British dance group Faithless. Inspired by the iconic club anthem “Insomnia,” the track transforms a dance classic into a modern electronic hit. Moreover, the collaboration has already attracted millions of streams while earning praise from fans around the world.
As the album unfolds, Rexha reveals increasingly personal moments. Tracks such as “S.H.I.T.” and “Çike Çike” highlight her confidence and willingness to experiment, while songs like “I Like You Better Than Me,” “Drink and a Little Love,” and “One Day” explore vulnerability, love, and emotional uncertainty with striking honesty.
Later, “Time,” “The Way I Want You,” and “Nobody’s There” deepen the album’s emotional core. Together, these songs show an artist embracing both strength and vulnerability without compromise.
Finally, DIRTY BLONDE closes with “Sad Girls,” a collaboration with David Guetta that transforms heartbreak into an uplifting dance anthem. Blending emotional lyrics with powerful progressive house production, the track delivers a memorable finale that captures the spirit of the entire project.
