Bebe Rexha recently provided insight into the creation of “New Religion,” a track from her upcoming album, Dirty Blonde. In an interview with PAPER magazine, the acclaimed Albanian artist discussed the song, which incorporates a sample from the classic 1990s hit, “Insomnia,” originally performed by the British group Faithless. The process of securing permission to utilize this recognizable sample proved to be complex, reflecting the typical bureaucratic hurdles within the music industry.
Bebe Rexha shared that obtaining clearance for the iconic sound required a significant amount of time, leading her to moments of doubt regarding its usability. She noted that during these negotiations, she communicated with Rollo and Sister Bliss, key figures associated with the track’s source material. The experience highlighted the administrative challenges inherent in sampling established musical works.
For Bebe Rexha, the journey to integrate the sample into her new material was a process of persistence. The song itself is a notable feature of her new body of work, Dirty Blonde. Her discussion offered fans a look behind the curtain at the meticulous work required to blend vintage sounds with contemporary pop production.
