After years behind the scenes writing for artists including Selena Gomez and Eminem (it was Rexha who penned Rihanna’s hook on the Grammy-winning “The Monster”), Brooklyn-born Bebe Rexha steps into the spotlight, crafting a full-length debut that showcases her versatility as both songwriter and star. While her collaboration with Florida Georgia Line, “Meant to Be”, already proved her knack for massive pop hits, Expectations cements her as a master of all trades, be it smoky, seductive pop (“2 Souls on Fire” (feat. Quavo)), acoustic tenderness (“Knees”) or attitude-laden confessionals (“I’m a Mess”).
