Description

High Expectations is a stunning statement of intent from Mabel. Its a record and a state-of-mind, in many ways that she has worked towards her whole life. Its an ambitious body of work from an increasingly fearless young artist, which explores the multiplicity of expectations (as a woman; in love; of others; and ultimately of yourself). Whats emerged as High Expectations is an empowering, uplifting and disarmingly candid record, which tells the next chapter not only in Mabels own extraordinary life-story, but like those records which shaped her, The Writings On The Wall or The Miseducation of Lauryn Hill also seeks to tell those stories of so many others.

Still aged just 23 years old, High Expectations is that rare record which feels both like a graduation and, also, just the beginning for the twice-Brit-nominated singer/songwriter. Mabel explains, High Expectations the title says it all. Its about the expectations I have of myself, other peoples expectations of me and vice versa, especially in relationships. The general topic of the project is the negatives and positives that come with that. I want to send a positive message to everyone thats going to listen to it. Ive gained so much confidence from writing this album and thats what I want people to take from it.

On the road to her first record, Mabels music has become a soundtrack for her impassioned young female fanbase, but also for herself on how to turn your vulnerabilities into your advantages. Now poised to join the pantheon of international pop greats, her tireless energy, positivity and drive were never going to allow Mabel to settle for anything other than High Expectations. In 2019 watch Mabel meet them and keep reaching higher still.
