Bebe Rexha Starts ‘New Religion’ On ‘Kimmel’

Bebe Rexha rolled into Hollywood for a performance on Jimmy Kimmel Live on Monday. The pop star performed the title track off her latest record, New Religion.

The three-track EP from Bebe Rexha arrived on Friday. Upon releasing “New Religion,” which samples Faithless' 1995 hit “Insomnia,” Rexha shared a statement on the song via social media:

“When I started this new era, I was in a dark place. I was frustrated, angry… and really depressed. I felt like I was in a cage and no matter how loud I screamed I was stuck. And I honestly didn’t know how I was going to break out of it.

So I went back to the one thing that has always made me feel something, dance music. When the bass hits your chest and you lose yourself in the music, nothing else matters. That’s where I felt free again.

‘New Religion’ is my love letter to music. My sanctuary. My salvation on the dance floor. It’s about remembering that music has always been there for me, through every high and every low.

I’m beyond grateful that Faithless allowed me to use such an iconic dance record. That means more to me than you know.

I can’t wait to perform this live. I can’t wait to hear it at festivals, in clubs, at parties, on the radio. But most of all, I can’t wait to share it with you.”
