Expectations

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, <i>Expectations</i> 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”).
