Song:Meant To Be
Album:Expectations
Bebe Rexha's debut album Expectations was released today. She started out as a songwriter and after some hits including Meant To Be, she is poised to become a big star. She was born Aug. 30, 1989 in Brooklyn, NY to Albanian immigrants. Her family moved to Staten Island when she was six. As a teen, she won a Grammy Day songwriting contest. That got her a manager Samantha Cox who sent her to songwriting classes. She met Fall Out Boy bassist Pete Wentz in 2010. Fall Out Boy was on hiatus and he started Black Cards. Bebe was lead singer. They released a few singles but Bebe left before an album could be recorded. Bebe signed with Warner Bros. She also wrote the Eminem and Rhianna hit single Monster. She starts releasing singles. Her first top ten hit was Me, Myself & I with rapper G-Eazy in 2015. This is on his album When It's Dark Out. So she's doing a lot of guest appearances. Then in 2017, she releases two EPs, It's All Your Fault Pt. 1 and Pt. 2. Meant to Be is on the second EP. It reached #2 on the Billboard Hot 100. It sounds like a Florida Georgia Line song with her vocals tossed in. They are probably the hottest group in country music so I understand why she would want to work with them. She also toured with them. Then she announced plans to release a third EP in the series. It looks like Warners told her it's time to release an album. Expectations is being released today. Meant To Be has been tacked on at the end of the album. We'll see where she goes from here. She has potential but she needs to have her own musical identity which she doesn't have yet. The single I'm A Mess was released last week. Here's the video for Meant To Be by Bebe Rexha featuring Florida Georgia Line.
