Lila Forde – All I Expected [Single + Video]

Lila Forde‘s “All I Expected” is a slow-tempo soul number that lays on heavy touches of jazz as it explores the bittersweet highs and lows of love. With her warm soprano voice, Forde creates an intimate atmosphere that draws the listener into the emotional journey of disappointment and turmoil. The young LA native sings about moments of hope and feelings of sorrow, as well as self-pity—all common emotions felt by people navigating the unpredictable nature of love. With lines like “Crying in the corner, feeling sorry for myself, is this all I expected of love?,” you can’t help but deep dive into the feels alongside the young songbird.

Lila‘s chilled-out and easygoing delivery, which echoes the heartfelt storytelling found in the works of some more renowned folksy-jazzy-soulful artists, draws the listener into an emotional journey that can be both comforting and heartbreaking. The calming soundscape of “All I Expected” is brought to life by a combination of electric piano, drum breaks, and a Moog synthesizer, adding to the track’s sun-drenched aura. The skillful composition and sincere lyrics make this song a truly touching experience. With its graceful composition and earnest lyrics, “All I Expected” is a warm and moving torch song that should be on everyone’s radar.
