In just three singles, Abby Simone has picked up acclaim across the tastemaker spectrum. Collectively they’ve hailed the Singaporean singer-
Today Abby completes her introduction by releasing her debut EP ‘No Expectations’ alongside its title track and brand new single. Listen HERE.
On the ‘No Expectations’ single, Abby Simone delivers a song of contagious energy which wraps her upbeat vocal harmonies on a pop production full of playful beats, glistening synths and peppy bass. And in what’s fast becoming a hallmark of her signature style, Abby sounds like she’s relishing the moment – yet there’s a contrasting undercurrent of sadness as she confidently declares a one-way relationship to be over. While the song comes from personal experience, Abby’s lyrics allow it to be relevant to any faltering relationship, whether it’s with a romance, a friendship or a fading romance.
Abby says, “Remove the toxic people out of your life! I used to archive people I couldn’t handle and pile them up. Well, I’m not a device and I can’t upgrade my mental health storage as and when it’s needed. I want people to sing this mantra and when it’s time, say ‘You are you and I am me and neither of us owe each other sh*t.’ I think that’s a pretty amicable way to end a relationship, no?”
The ‘No Expectations’ EP also features Abby’s recent singles ‘Same Sunrise’, ‘Walking Away’ and ‘For Once’. Leaning into leftfield sounds, the EP as a whole hints at Jorja Smith and Celeste’s brooding R&B and jazz, with a touch of Dua Lipa’shyper catchy modern pop. Its stories are real and relatable: sometimes melancholy, sometimes celebratory, sometimes defiant – but all infused with Abby’s poised personality.
