INTERVIEW: This Is How Bebe Rexha Describes Her New Sound

Bebe Rexha is ahead of the curve when it comes to pop music; it’s one of the reasons why she is one of the most in-demand songwriters and artists ranging from Louis Tomlinson to David Guetta to G-Eazy are enlisting her vocals for the hooks of their songs. Her latest single, the Florida Georgia Line-assisted “Meant To Be,” is yet another example of both her range and her tenacity to break ground.

“I’m going to change it and do this new thing called, ‘Expectations,’ the Brooklyn-born artist responded after I asked if there would be an “All Your Fault Part 3” recently. The first two installments were EPs that yielded the singles “I Got You,” “The Way I Are,” and the aforementioned “Meant To Be.”

“It’s a new sound,” Rexha continued. “It’s a more No Doubt-sound. I just feel like ‘Meant To Be’ has kind of been an interesting thing for me and I want to pivot a little bit.

“I think everybody is kind of going in to this rhythmic/urban lane, and I want to just be different and do more guitar-based stuff.”

When Rexha initially announced the new project via Twitter, she also revealed the existence of “Home,” a song she is featured on with Machine Gun Kelly and X-Ambassadors. A collaboration with the former certainly makes sense given the band’s recent history – recording seamlessly with both labelmates Imagine Dragons and Eminem.

“Home” ended up as a part of the star-studded “Bright” soundtrack; no word on if it it’ll also make “Expectations,” a piece of work that Rexha simply said would be out at some point in 2018.
