Bebe Rexha - All Your Fault: Pt. 1 | Album Review

All Your Fault: Part 1 is the second EP by singer/songwriter Bebe Rexha. The first thing to be noted about this "album" is the completely messed up schedule. My sister used to be a major Bebe Rexha fan, so just using thing that she's told me, this album was supposed to be released in August 2016. It got pushed back so many times, until it was finally split into two parts and this first part was released on February 17th, 2017.

Notable producers include Captain Cuts, The Invisible Men, and Stargate. In my opinion, this EP could have been very successful following the big hit "Me Myself and I", with G - Eazy featuring Bebe Rexha, but that flopped in the end. Overall, this EP surprised me. I didn't really love it on the first or second listen, but after 8 or so listens, I enjoy

It's filled with his charisma, and has some great production, from big names like Metro Boomin, DJ Mustard, DJ Dahi, and more.

This album feels like the natural progression of Big Sean's style evolution, bringing back the best parts of his old music with more mature themes from his new music. A very key part of Big Sean's music is his rather unique flow. Before this album, it was often predictable, but on I Decided,  Sean switches up flows more than ever, most likely as an attempt to distance his style from Drake. The two are often compared, and even though Drake himself said that Sean's flow inspired him, listeners to this album will undo
