It's time for a new Bebe Rexha era!
The Grammy-nominated artist, 36, announced her upcoming visual album Dirty Blonde on Thursday, Feb. 12 and released a Diplo-mixed supercut teasing its 13 tracks and music videos.
Much like Rexha's past releases, Dirty Blonde will feature a mix of genres — pop, EDM, country, hip-hop and more — according to the supercut. Each song will be released one by one by Rexha in partnership with independent label EMPIRE.

"This next chapter is about creative freedom — trusting my instincts, trusting my voice, and finally doing things the way I've always wanted to," said Rexha in a statement. "I've learned a lot, I've lived a lot, and I'm fully tuned into myself now. Following my gut has been one of the best decisions I've made in my career. This era is fearless, loud, and unapologetic — no filters, no limits. DIRTY BLONDE is me owning exactly who I am.

The supercut video opens with the New York native nodding to her roots by singing a track called "Chica Chica" with lyrics in Albanian while surrounded by burly men with "Bebe" tattoos at an outdoor street party. Other clips feature Rexha alongside pole dancers, making out with a waiter in a diner, dancing at a sweaty party and DJ-ing in a nightclub booth, while the songs include both confident and vulnerable lyrics about her life.

In the videos, she's also seen crying while getting hair and makeup done for a shoot, examining her physical features in a bathroom mirror, dancing around a convenience store, sitting on a bar, posing in the street, working out with a buff man in a gym and having an intense session with a therapist.
In an interview with Billboard, Rexha spoke about how she wants to showcase her true identity with Dirty Blonde, which marks her first independent full-length release.

"I feel like a lot of people, they saw me through this lens of when I was trying to be, like, this perfect, clean-girl pop star," she told the outlet. "When you're signed to a major [record label], it's a little bit stressful, you know? 'Cause you're trying to always make everybody else happy. A lot of the big songs that I had, too, were always in my computer — I'd always written them — and they were all basically 'No's' from whichever label I was at."

Rexha, who's earned huge hits with "Meant to Be" and "I'm Good (Blue)," said she's been encouraged against releasing what became some of her most successful songs in the past. Now, she's in control.
"Honestly, I haven't been able to show [this] side of me until now," she said. "Now I have a label, EMPIRE, that just is allowing me to be myself purely, and they celebrate that, and that's really cool."
