Bebe Rexha
Shownotes
On this week's episode of Artist Friendly, Joel Madden is joined by Bebe Rexha.
Before she signed to Warner in 2013, Rexha was in a short-lived electropop band with Fall Out Boy’s Pete Wentz called Black Cards, which led to touring with Travie McCoy, multiple solo albums, and a summer on Warped Tour in 2015. Now she’s freshly independent, forming a partnership with indie label and distributor EMPIRE.
In a conversation with Joel, they get into pushing yourself forward, turning pain into songwriting, and her new visual album, Dirty Blonde, out Friday (June 12).
“I feel like I can always do better — this is the problem with me — but there are some records on there that I’m absolutely so proud of…” she says. “I don’t like being stuck in a box. I grew up on so many different sounds… If I wanna do a classical album next, I’m gonna do that.”
