Bebe Rexha unveils a new artistic era with Empire
Empowered Vision Meets Independent Momentum — A Pop Star Recalibrates Her Career Trajectory
Mumbai, 26th January 2026: Grammy-nominated singer-songwriter Bebe Rexha has officially entered a strategic partnership with Empire, an independent music company known for its artist-centric model and global distribution reach. This marks a pivotal shift for the Brooklyn-born artist following her tenure with major label Warner Records as she embraces greater creative autonomy and a fresh phase of artistic output.
Rexha, who first made her mark as a sought-after songwriter before bursting onto the global pop stage with hits spanning Meant to Be, I’m Good (Blue) and collaborative chart-toppers, describes this moment as the beginning of an unapologetically authentic era.
Sharing about this partnership she said, “It’s never been about putting out record after record. People may know me as a pop artist, but at my core I’ve always been a singer and songwriter first. Going independent and partnering with Empire isn’t just a business move for me. They believe in my vision and trust my instincts, which has refuelled my creativity. This new era is about embracing every part of myself, even when I’m a mess. This version of me is unapologetically comfortable in my own lane. I’m excited to invite people deeper into my world, beyond the music. I do this for mom, fans and little Bebe”.
Empire’s flexible, artist-first approach resonates with Rexha’s evolving goals, enabling her to shape her releases, narrative and fan engagement with greater freedom. The collaboration signals Empire’s commitment to supporting established artists who seek long-term sustainability and artistic integrity outside the traditional major label framework.
Reflecting on the partnership, Empire Founder & CEO Ghazi Shami remarks, “Bebe Rexha has built an undeniable legacy both as a songwriter and a pop icon with cross-genre hits. She has an ability to craft records that resonate globally and what excites us most is that she’s still evolving. This partnership marks a powerful next chapter where we can reach new creative heights together.”
Fans can expect new creative work and initiatives as Rexha embarks on this next chapter, a phase she describes as unapologetically true to her voice, her roots and her vision. More details on upcoming releases and projects will be announced through her official channels in the coming weeks.
