If the name Bebe Rexha looks familiar that’s probably because she’s most likely had a feature or two on one of your favorite artist’s songs or at least a writing credit. She’s been a journeyman over the years and she’s finally getting her own shot in the spotlight. It’s a transition that doesn’t always work out well, but on Expectations she shows that she’s more than capable of carrying things all on her own. She’s got a unique voice that’s immediately recognizable and while it’s not the strongest out there, it adds a unique flavor to everything she touches. Her exceptional songwriting ability is also on full display here as she speaks of yearning – for love, for life, and everything in between. Expectations is a great listen from front to back with some irresistible melodies, and it has all the makings to launch Bebe Rexha into becoming a full-blown pop star. She’s playing second fiddle no more.
Don’t get any closer
These walls are super high
So don’t even try
To get any closer
I’m scared you’re gonna find
All the things I’ve been hiding from you– “Don’t Get Any Closer”
