Bebe Rexha An Ascending Superstar and The Way She Are By Dan Kimpel

THIS GIRL IS ON FIRE: Touring from Buffalo to Bulgaria, collaborating, guesting on tracks and generating massive hits. With over 10 million overall single sales, one billion Spotify streams and 1.3 billion combined YouTube/Vevo views, she hit No. 1 on both the Billboard Pop and Rap charts with her platinumselling smash, “Me Myself & I.” Featured as a soloist on Martin Garrix’s “In The Name of Love,” she released her debut All Your Fault: Part 1 in February of this year, launched her first headlining tour and now presents a six-song set, All Your Fault: Part 2, featuring collaborations with Lil’ Wayne, Gucci Mane, 2 Chainz and Florida Georgia Line among others. On this morning, Rexha is in a car in New York, heading into Manhattan where she and her dog––presumably in different locales––will both be beautified. “She is going to be groomed while I get my hair done,” Rexha explains in her rapid-fire cadence as she delivers this exclusive interview for MC. Music Connection: There is so much happening for you right now; the tours, travel, television, guest spots and of course All Your Fault: Part 2. How are you feeling about this latest project? Bebe Rexha: Whenever I have music coming out I shut my brain off. I get nervous because I want people to like it. I go back to my roots and try to get into my lifestyle stuff, but it’s cool, you know?
