HAYLEY KIYOKO – EXPECTATIO­NS

-

Sexy lesbian singer/actress Hayley is rewriting the pop stardom rulebook. With a collaborat­ion with R&B soulstress – and fellow queer artist – Kehlani on What I Need and tracks that openly discuss her sexuality and identity (such as on the slinky Curious), Hayley’s debut album elevates queer pop-dom to a new level.

“Expectatio­ns has a level of maturity I’ve never had before,” Hayley told DNA: “There’s a sense of grounded confidence within the lyrics, the melodies and the production. It’s 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.”

After Hayley kicked off #20GAYTEEN (coined by her fans) and appeared at Coachella this year, we could have a Queer Mother Monster on our hands. Expect big things from Hayley Kiyoko!
