to perform" –Sunday Times
Mabel
has recently announced details of anthemic new single ‘Don’t
Call Me Up’, which is available now on Polydor Records and
arrives hot on the heels of her nomination for British Breakthrough
Act at the Brit Awards 2019. This follows an extraordinary twelve
months which saw the 22-year-old sell over 2 million singles
in the UK alone, surpass half a billion streams, and cap December’s
UK tour with a massive sold-out show at London’s Brixton Academy
(complete with pyrotechnics, dancers, and guest appearances
from Mabel’s collaborators Not3s and Kojo Funds).
Mabel
- Don't Call Me Up
‘Don’t
Call Me Up’ is the sound of an increasingly-fearless young artist
answering the call for Britain’s next great pop export. Co-written
by Mabel alongside Steve Mac (whose arsenal of hits include
Ed Sheeran’s ‘Shape Of You’ and Years & Years’ ‘If You’re Over
Me’) plus Kamille Purcell (Little Mix, Mist, Clean Bandit),
‘Don’t Call Me Up’ takes Mabel’s lifelong love for empowered,
role-reversal R&B into a thrilling new space. Here is a breakup
song which zooms in on strength over sadness, with the spirit
of irrepressible sisterhood aptly captured in the ‘Don’t Call
Me Up’ video, also airing for the first time.
“The
best R&B to come out of London in recent memory” –
The Fader
“Flipping the music-world male gaze without missing a beat”
– Dazed
“A richness and honest that sets her out”
– Noisey
Blossoming
in confidence as an artist and young woman, Mabel’s is a unique,
singular journey into stardom that continues to surprise. Raised
largely between Sweden, Malaga and London, she has gradually
found her own voice amidst an intrinsically-musical household,
and is already using it to startling effect: songs across debut
mixtape ‘Ivy To Roses tackle everything from young love, heartache
and the challenges of relationships in the digital age to the
bigger-picture themes that have informed Mabel’s formative years.
She has spoken and sometimes-sung candidly on battling anxiety
(an issue which forced Mabel to drop out of school at a young
age) on top of growing up mixed-raced, culturally dislocated,
and the effort to grow comfortable in your skin. Along the way,
Mabel’s music has become a soundtrack – for herself, but particularly
for her impassioned young female fanbase – of how to turn those
vulnerabilities into your advantages.
It’s
that spirit of openness but quite self-belief that has seen
Mabel come of age these last few years: effortlessly moving
between the worlds of music, fashion, dance and art, and emerging
as a refreshing role model in the modern musical landscape.
She now has two platinum-selling singles (‘Finders
Keepers’, ‘My
Lover’,) one gold (‘Fine
Line’) and one silver (‘Ring
Ring’) under her belt, yet you sense is also just getting
started. And if Mabel sometimes appears like an artist who can’t
quite believe that her pop-star dreams are coming true, ‘Don’t
Call Me Up’ is also the mark of a young woman who knows herself
– warts-and-all – better than ever…and better than anyone else.
