    Bebe gives us a strong debut on Expectations. Including a fantastic pop anthem like “I’m a Mess.” Throughout the rest of the album, Rexha gives us raw emotions and an overall composed debut. It’s the type of album you can come back to in various stages of your life, and is sure to keep your playlist filled.

    The album is in the middle
    I don't really like the abuse of Autotune in his voice but the rhythms and the just dance of the songs in general are nice
    Hopefully the next one is much better

    Finalmente un album di debutto. Bebe non è solo una grande songwriter ma anche un'artista che sembra promettere tanto nell'industria musicale.

    This album is so special and powerful. Bebe explored a lot of genres, like Country,Pop,Rock and Rap and she can sing in all of rhythm. One of my fav songs is Sad. It's so deep and we can trip with its vibe. But I also like Steady, it's a dark rap song with great beats! I think this album more attention. It's so underrated.

    Lauren Christy made this album perfect with its guitar sounds and dream-pop vibes. Really proud that Bebe can make not only pop music, her voice is flawless and strong so the whole album soungs really great. I like whole vibe and pop-rock sound here.

    She turned out to be a most incredible young and young artist right now. I was expecting a small thing from her, and it came with this incredible album. Really is of congratulations, the album does not have its generics but music and real production.

    Most of the songs resonated with me on a personal level. Sure, some of the tracks are little redundant, but she's got talent and it shows.

    Expectations hits a lot more than it misses. Bebe Rexha is no ordinary singer. She’s a chameleon who can switch vocals, blend with any sound, and find rhythm with any tempo. She is an artist that can make other genres pop.

    On Expectations, Rexha paints herself as a heroine trapped in an ivory tower of her own making. But her cat-scratching upper register suggests sensitivity more than vengeance.
  3. 80
    Expectations isn’t flawless, but it’s a compelling re-introduction to an underrated artist--one capable of putting her own stamp on current pop sounds.
