Bebe Rexha Drops Her First Solo Song After Going Independent

Bebe Rexha has just released a new track called “New Religion,” marking her debut as an independent artist. The song comes from her upcoming visual album titled Dirty Blonde, which she plans to release in a unique way. Instead of dropping the whole album at once, Rexha will share each song individually and let her fans decide the final track order.

The new single was unveiled on Friday, featuring a sample from the 1990s hit “Insomnia” by English dance group Faithless. Rexha said she has reworked the original sounds to fit her own style, creating a fresh take on a classic tune.

She has already released two other singles from Dirty Blonde—“I Like You Better Than Me” and “Çike Çike.” With “New Religion,” she continues to build anticipation for the full project.

Growing up in Staten Island, Rexha feels a renewed sense of happiness and relief after becoming independent. She described the experience as both exciting and, at times, intimidating, but overall she is happier than ever.

During the interview, Rexha also mentioned that she has faced threats from unknown sources since announcing her new direction. She expressed a desire to maintain control over her music and personal safety while pursuing this creative path.

By releasing the album in a fan‑driven format, Rexha hopes to create a stronger connection with her listeners and give them a sense of ownership over the final product. This approach reflects her commitment to authenticity and artistic freedom.
