High Expectations is a stunning statement of intent from Mabel. It’s a record – and a state-of-mind, in many ways – that she has worked towards her whole life. It’s 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). What’s emerged as High Expectations is an empowering, uplifting and disarmingly candid record, which tells the next chapter not only in Mabel’s own extraordinary life-story, but – like those records which shaped her, The Writing’s 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. It’s about the expectations I have of myself, other people’s 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 that’s going to listen to it. I’ve gained so much confidence from writing this album and that’s what I want people to take from it.”

On the road to her first record, Mabel’s 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.
