Bebe Rexha is s no stranger to a mean pop hook. The burgeoning pop singer-songwriter is crawling from under the bed in search of her own spotlight and finally having her solo moment, after crafting the skeleton of Eminem and Rihanna's hit "The Monster" and Cash Cash's club smash, “Take Me Home.” The 25-year-old quirky pop prospect released the lead single from her debut album, "I Can't Stop Drinking About You," earlier this year, and then released her debut video for the song at Billboard that was inspired by the films Girl, Interrupted and Melancholia.
Rexha, a first-generation Albanian-American from Brooklyn, draws from her experiences with romance, family difficulties and personal challenges to create electrifying tracks that are a combination of toughness and vulnerability with her astounding vocals. Her sound is as versatile as her subject matter. With the release of her single, "I Can't Stop Drinking About You," a song that MTV calls a "certifiable smash," 2014 is shaping up to be the year Rexha takes center stage. She penned the song while being hammered following a bad break up.
One listen to her strong pipes and edgy lyrics on "I Can't Stop Drinking About You," you'll want to give her a shot. "'I Can't Stop Drinking About You' is about that gut-sinking feeling you get right after your heart's been broken," says Rexha. "I wanted the song to be a snapshot of how someone feels at that exact moment. The video is modest and raw, and I tried to capture that feeling of heart break and the whirlwind of the emotions that come with it: a little bit of anger, frustration, sadness, the craziness, and the fear of the unknown. It's the aftermath of love gone wrong."
The video was directed by Michael Mihail, who used the slow-mo camera. The clip, pairs absolutely perfectly with the confessional lyrics of the song, is a little bit more alternative and dark. It finds the Staten Island native sanctuary in a Los Angeles home and surrounded by empty bottles and not much else, as she tries to remember the harrowing final moments of a tumultuous romance relationship and it's intense. Like the song itself, the video introduces Rexha as a striking pop personality while zeroing in on her most dramatic impulses.
