Dirty Blonde: The Visual Album

Bebe Rexha released her fourth studio album, Dirty Blonde, on June 12, 2026, through Empire Distribution. This project marks a shift to full independence after the singer parted ways with her previous major label. The work functions as a visual album where audio and video were released simultaneously as an integrated experience. Rexha described the record as shedding her "perfect, clean-girl pop star" persona in favor of something rawer and more rebellious.

The thirteen-track collection blends pop, electronic dance music, hip-hop, and country elements. Production began as a dance-focused project with 130-BPM tracks designed to help Rexha process heartbreak before evolving into a broader exploration of identity. Collaborators include the British group Faithless on "New Religion" and French DJ David Guetta on "Sad Girls." Promotional singles like "I Like You Better Than Me" and "Çike Çike" set the tone for the rollout while radio hits drove significant streaming numbers.

Commercially, the album debuted at number 43 on the US Billboard 200 chart. It also reached the top forty in Australia and Scotland. While specific sales certifications were not widely reported immediately following the release, direct-to-fan sales occurred through Rexha's official shop which offered exclusive jewel case CDs with bonus tracks. Critical reception remained mixed, with some reviewers praising the genre experimentation while others felt the execution played it safe. [edit]
