\n\tRene\u00e9 Rapp<\/a> isn\u2019t holding anything back on her new album Bite Me<\/em>, released today (Aug. 1) via Interscope.<\/p>\n

\n\tOn her new album, the Sex Lives of College Girls<\/em> alum leaves behind the heartbreak ballads of Snow Angel<\/em> and leans full tilt into raucous pop rebellion. Over 12 tracks and 33 minutes, Rapp trades vulnerability for attitude, letting her inner chaos take the wheel as she sings about sex, fame, parties, and the power dynamics that come with them.<\/p>\n

\n\tThe album reunites her with Snow Angel<\/em> executive producer Alexander 23, and brings in heavyweight collaborators including Omer Fedi, Ryan Tedder, Julian Bunetta, and Carter Lang. Together, they craft a sound that draws from \u201990s alt-rock, early 2000s pop-punk, and glammy synth-pop \u2014 all while centering Rapp\u2019s unfiltered voice.<\/p>\n

\n\tLead single \u201cLeave Me Alone\u201d set the tone back in May, combining punchy guitars with lyrical confrontation. Follow-ups \u201cMad\u201d and \u201cWhy Is She Still Here?\u201d further fueled anticipation, with Rapp balancing aggression and playfulness across themes of obsession, resentment and messy intimacy.<\/p>\n

\n\tThe project also features her real-life partner, Towa Bird, on the disco-tinged standout \u201cAt Least I\u2019m Hot,\u201d where the two flirt over a funky guitar line in one of the album\u2019s lighter moments.<\/p>\n

\n\tIn a recent AP<\/a><\/em> interview, Rapp said of the album, \u201cI wanted to love this. I wanted to be able to walk away from this and be so proud of myself and impressed, no matter what anybody else thought.\u201d<\/p>\n

\n\t \u201cThat intention, and also wanting to prove it to myself, was really grueling,\u201d Rapp told The Associated Press.<\/em> \u201cAnd also really fun.\u201d<\/p>\n

\n\tWhile Snow Angel<\/em> dealt in emotional fallout, Bite Me<\/em> thrives in the aftermath \u2014 messy, unbothered, and unapologetically loud. From the snarling opener \u201cI Can\u2019t Have You Around Me\u201d to the closing piano ballad \u201cThat\u2019s So Funny,\u201d Rapp makes it clear she\u2019s not interested in being palatable. <\/p>\n
