“Expectations’ has a level of maturity that I’ve never had before. There’s a sense of grounded confidence within the lyrics, the melodies, and the production. It’s very unwavering. This is what it is. Take it or leave it. It’s not that I wasn’t confident before, but that energy really exudes through the music now. It represents everything in my life from health to girls to loss.” – Hayley Kiyoko
Just named as both MTV’s Global PUSH Artist To Watch for April 2018, Kiyoko will continue Expectations album release week with her late-night TV debut, performing her smash single Curious for the first time ever on Jimmy Kimmel Live!, this week.

Hayley has garnered critical acclaim for all album tracks unveiled leading up to the album’s release including Curious, the recently released Let It Be, and fan favourites Feelings and Sleepover.
Early on, Billboard cited “high expectations” for Kiyoko, writing,
“At this point, Hayley Kiyoko’s ascension to Billboard Hot 100 domination seems inevitable.”
Curious was immediately placed upon The New York Times’ “The Playlist” and TIME Magazine’s “5 Songs You Need to Listen to this Week,” with Idolator declaring it
“One Of The First Great Pop Songs Of 2018,”
and The FADER praising the companion visual as
“a beautifully shot commentary on the dynamics of queer love and the complicated laws of same-sex attraction.”
Over the past several weeks, the outpour of support has not slowed down with publications continuing to rally passionately behind Hayley. Billboard recently placed Expectations on their Spring Album Preview and Newsday published a glowing review writing,
“(Expectations) doesn’t feel like a debut as much as it feels like the start of something big, comparable to Lady Gaga’s debut ‘The Fame,’ in the more carefree days before she became Mother Monster.”
