Albanian pop singer Bleona is re-recording and reimagining 20 songs from her Albanian-language catalog across two planned visual albums, starting with “ERA,” a reworked version of one of her original tracks, according to the announcement. The catalog had previously been removed from digital platforms by the singer herself as she sought to relaunch her career for English-language audiences, a decision the new project aims to partially reverse.
Alongside the catalog revival, Bleona is releasing new English-language singles, including “RIDE IT” and “BOY GONE BAD,” with an EP produced by Timbaland said to be forthcoming. Her publicist frames the move as part of a broader reconciliation between her earlier career in Albania, where she released eight albums and built a large following, and her current push into the U.S. market.
Bleona’s representatives cite a past No. 1 on Billboard’s Dance Club Songs chart, acting roles alongside Nicolas Cage and Aaron Eckhart, and upcoming fashion campaigns and magazine covers as part of her broader public profile. The PR pitch positions the catalog project within a wider industry conversation about artists revisiting ownership and control of their own musical legacies.
