This new project will be released on July 25 through Polydor Records, and is set to hold nine tracks in all. UK rapper Clavish is confirmed to feature on the tape, as well as Oscar Scheller and Arthur Bean providing production.

In a press release, Mabel gave a glimpse into what to expect from the tape:

“The tape is all new music made in the last few months with some of my nearest and dearest. It’s really important to me with this project that people know that this is where I’m at now and I wanted it to come out without too much overthinking.

It’s a blend of all the genres and cultures that make me who I am and I would say it’s beautiful organised chaos. It doesn’t have to make sense to everyone and I think it’s the first time in a long time I’ve been this unfiltered. There’s both a simplicity and a depth to the music that I love, in a way I just wrote it without too much thought but afterwards I realised it’s kind of a toxic love letter to my 10 years in the industry.”

The London pop songstress has dropped a few singles over 2025, including ‘Benz’ and ‘January 19’, which mix alt-R&B with afrobeat rhythms. She collaborated with Australian group ONEFOUR for the smooth drill track, ‘PHONE CALL’, and before that teamed up with King Promise for the afroswing banger ‘All Over You’.

Mabel, the daughter of 80’s Swedish musician Neneh Cherry, has had a successful career so far. Her 2017 debut single ‘Finders Keepers’ reached No. 8 on the UK singles charts. In 2019, her first album ‘High Expectations’ climbed to No. 3 on the UK Albums Chart, later going platinum.

The album featured several UK Top 10 singles, including ‘Don’t Call Me Up’ and ‘Boyfriend’. The following year in 2020, she won the Brit Award for ‘British Female Solo Artist’.

In 2022, she released her second studio album, ‘About Last Night’, a concept album that follows “the progress of a party, from arrival through romantic tension to break-up and final redemption”. It was a critical and commercial success, receiving praise for Mabel’s new musical direction, and debuting at No. 2 on the UK Albums Chart.

Mabel just performed at SXSW London last night (June 2), amongst a line-up that includes Sasha Keable, NAO and Tems, to name a few. You can read our pre-coverage on the event here.

During their performance on 30th July 2022, the hitmakers halted midway through their set whilst performing their recent release “Girl Like Me”. Upon seeing an audience member in need of medical assistance, singer Will.i.am stopped the set and asked fellow audience members to “Clear the way” to help medics get through the crowd. After urging those in attendance to put “Safety First” the group resumed their set, the band concluded the performance with a collection of hits including beloved classics such as “Where Is The Love?” and “I Gotta Feeling”.

Along with founding and leading bandmember Will.i.am, the group includes rapper apl.de.ap and singer Taboo. As well as new material, The Black Eyed Peas also brought to the Newcastle stage their new line up. After the departure of bandmember Fergie, the singer was replaced by J. Rey Soul. Otherwise known as Jessica Reynoso, the singer was first introduced to the world as a finalist on The Voice of the Philippines season 1 and was part of band member Apl.de.ap’s team within the show. In 2018, the group confirmed that she would serve as the band’s female vocalist and was named an semi-official bandmate.

The Black Eyed Peas were joined by over 70 further acts who performed at this year’s LooseFest, other headlining acts included A J Tracey, Example, Clean Bandit and English singer-songwriter Mabel. The “Finders Keepers” singer was chosen to close out the festival and completed her headlining slot on the evening of Sunday 31^st July 2022.

One of LooseFest’s directors, Brian Austin has given a statement concerning the festival’s line up. Within the statement Austin focuses on the importance of booking female artists, “There are some very talented female artists on the music scene with emerging talent more prolific than ever. We love to champion talent, many who have emerged after finding their musical vocation (and decks) in lockdown. Securing international music artists like Mabel and Black Eyed Peas was a huge moment for the team, especially after the challenges for the music industry, It’s been intense, but we were determined to make it happen. We’re so proud of what we have achieved.”

‘About Last Night…’ is Mabel’s second album, following on from her 2019 debut album “High Expectations” which held fan favourite tracks such as ‘Don’t Call Me Up’, ‘Mad Love’, ‘Finders Keepers’ and ‘Fine Line’. Mabel admitted that the traumatic events happening around the world during lockdown provided musical inspiration for this album.  She said,“It was an emotional time, obviously with George Floyd and the Black Lives Matter movement. It was a time of a lot of reflecting for us as a family, being mixed. There was a lot of creativity based in that pain. That was a source of inspiration for me.”The break not only provided Mabel with new music but also a new outlook. I just am proud to be who I am. I am not apologetic about anything. It’s good to be humble, but it’s also okay to say positive things about yourself.”

Mabel is confirmed to perform on the Sunday of LooseFest. The talented singer and songwriter solidified her place in the music world ever since the release of her 2019 debut album, High Expectations, which was the highest selling debut record by a woman in the whole of 2019. A year after the album went platinum, she remained in the spotlight for winning the Brit Award for British Female Solo Artist. The UK singer is known for her recent released tracks “I Wish” and “Good Luck”, as well as her string of smash hits which include “Let Them Know”, “Mad Love”, “Boyfriend” and “Tick Tock” (which features Clean Bandit who will also be performing at this year’s LooseFest). LooseFest has been billed as the largest music festival to have ever taken place in Newcastle. On the festival’s twitter account they announced that the festival will hold 60,000 people, have 5 all-weather stages and over 80 incredible musical acts performing. There will also be multiple food stalls and bars in their street food village, as well as a ferris wheel. They have promised a huge festival production, with an atmosphere to fit for all.

The announced lineup for the festival so far is shown below:

The event is strictly for 18+, with gates opening and music starting at 12:00pm. There are multiple ticket options available, giving people the option to buy just a single day ticket for either the Saturday or Sunday, or the full weekend ticket. They also offer group tickets, payment plans and VIP packages. Ticket options can be found and bought here.

The LooseFest team will be regularly releasing news on their social media. Follow their updates on:

Out now on all platforms, ‘Tick Tock’ is the first time these artists have worked together, and fans have received it incredibly well. The collaborators are excited too, with Clean Bandit posting to their social media: “Guys the moment you’ve all been waiting for is RIGHT NOW.”

The video was released a few hours after the song, at 1pm today, 21st August, and it has already gained nearly 100,000 views. With Mabel dancing to the upbeat lovesong, Clean Bandit playing behind her, and 24kgoldn receiving his own cameo for his verse, the video is packed full of interesting visuals, and perhaps the dance moves will soon be seen on TikTok.

According to Grace Chatto of Clean Bandit, “the song is about obsession, which can sometimes feel like the relentless tick-tocking of time… So we decided to show some of our random obsessions in this video (anyone else love popcorn?!).”

Guys the moment you’ve all been waiting for is RIGHT NOW. The official music video is OUT NOW on our YouTube and we are personally counting down to it LIVE with @mabel (and her tiny doggy @imanimcvey if she doesn’t get camera shy!). We’re all quite excited right now!!!! The song is about obsession, which can sometimes feel like the relentless tick-tocking of time… So we decided to show some of our random obsessions in this video (anyone else love popcorn?!). It’s set in a massive cuckoo clock that we are all inside!! Directed by our boys Jack and Luke. So much love to everyone who worked on it with us. Let us know what you think. Grace

The song is Clean Bandit’s first release since their 2018 album ‘What Is Love?’, while Mabel has shared two previous tracks this year including a collaboration with AJ Tracey in July. The artist put out her debut album ‘High Expectations’ in 2019, and has wasted no time before sharing more new music and attending the Brit Awards in February, where she won the award for British Female Solo Artist.

West10 crackles with the same garage influence that propelled AJ Tracey’s 2019 smash hit Ladbroke Grove to number 3 in the charts. The vintage beat, coupled with AJ’s dominant flow and Mabel’s catchy hook, is guaranteed to have fan’s bopping up and down the nation. It was produced by American group Take A Daytrip, who are notable for their contribution’s to Lil’ Nas X’s Panini and Sheck Wes’ Mo Bamba.

The single had been teased on social media throughout the past week. The build-up started on the 29th of June when the artists uploaded pictures of them both to their Instagram accounts, represented as cartoons, playing Pac-Man. Mabel’s was captioned ‘we dropping this tune or what?!‘, whilst Tracey’s, since deleted, post exclaimed ‘we just made a banger and what to share it with you lot!’. The early reviews indicate that the anticipation was worth it. GrmDaily claims that the track ‘has all the elements to become an instant smash with listeners‘. This is only the second time that the two artists have collaborated, despite their seamless chemistry. The last time AJ and Mabel combined was on a remix of the singer’s 2016 tune, Thinking Of You.

The audio was released alongside the single’s visuals, which simultaneously match the single’s pace and pay tribute to Tracey’s Ladbroke Grove home. The video is set outside of a corner shop emblazoned with the the area’s West 10 post code. Set atop a background of strobes and flashing lights, these scenes are cut between closeups of the artists, that reflect the nightclub setting for which this track is tailor-made.

AJ Tracey’s Ladbroke Grove is considered by many as the track of summer 2019, and West10 has seen the reigning seasonal champion attempt to claim the crown for arguably the second year running. Tracey appears to have found his blueprint, as both singles reflect a clear garage influence. The addition of Mabel provides a soothing foil for AJ’s punchy delivery, resulting in a track packaged and accessible for a wide audience to enjoy.

“Share The Stage” will also feature interviews with the acts, as well as a support slot from emerging artists. The support slots are aiming to help smaller artists who may have missed out on gaining attention at the festivals this summer, due to the coronavirus pandemic. Each headliner will cover a song by their support act.

To give the fans a bit of festival feeling at home, the series will be aired on Youtube, hosted by Fearne Cotton. The first session tomorrow (July 2) includes performances by Kaiser Chiefs, Gracey, and Jetta. Lewis Capaldi is going to perform July 9, featuring a performance by Celeste. Bastille’s and Mabel’s shows are following on the same day.

“It’s an honour to be involved in helping to support some of the incredible new artists coming through that I’ve been following and am a big fan of. Live music played a huge part in helping me in the past couple of years so I feel for the amazing new acts who can’t get out there and play this year. I’m excited to be a small part of helping support new music in the UK at the moment”, Lewis Capaldi has said in a statement on the Abbey Road website.

And Mabel thinks that “being on stage has been integral to my growth as an artist over the past few years, especially when I’ve had the chance to perform alongside some of my idols. Right now, there’s so much incredible talent in the UK just waiting to be seen and heard. Whilst none of us can step on stage physically this summer, it’s great to be part of an initiative that is going some way to give emerging artists the platform they deserve.”

Keep an eye out on the Barclaycard and Abbey Road Youtube channels tomorrow to find out more.

Recorded at Abbey Road, @Barclaycard has announced the launch of ‘Share the Stage’, a series of live performances from the likes of @BastilleDan & @LewisCapaldi.

The series begins on 2 July with @KaiserChiefs, @GRACEYmusic_ & @JettaOfficial. Read more: https://t.co/yKUQnwsVYs pic.twitter.com/SeSanpawdi

Dave became the biggest artist last night, taking home the most prestigious prize, Best Album, for his debut album Psychodrama. Meanwhile, Scottish vocal powerhouse and comedian Lewis Capaldi was also crowned with the Best Song prize for his mega-hit “Someone You Loved,” which he too confirmed during the speech that is not about his ex-girlfriend but about his late grandmother.

18-year-old global phenomenon Billie Eilish won International Female Solo Artist. While thanking for the crown, the “bad guy” hitmaker almost bursted into tears from great joy. “I have wanted to say something that I was thinking like two seconds ago,” she said. “I’ve felt very hated recently. And when I was on the stage and I saw you guys smiling at me, it genuinely made me want to cry and I want to cry right now, so thank you.” That moment was probably the very first time Eilish was highly emotional on stage despite her receiving a plethora of awards prior to the BRITS.

Another impressive achievement belongs to Mabel. She was named British Female Solo Artist last night, while her mother Neneh Cherry took her own trophies back home 30 years ago.

Mabel and Dave were also performing, and their shows received much praise for creating diversity for the awards. Furthermore, Celeste who won Rising Star Award belted out “Strange”, her single that put the singer to fame.

International acts, namely Billie Eilish and Lizzo, also impressed the audience with their songs. As Eilish debuted the live performance of James Bond’s theme song “No Time to Die”, Lizzo did a mash-up of her smash hits which brought extreme fun for the night.

Despite delightful shows and great politically inspirational speeches from the artists, this year’s BRITS awards has been criticised for its lack of gender balance from the nominations which were dominated by male artists.
