Mabel has dropped a new single called Look At My Body Pt. II.
Arriving via Polydor Records, the empowering R&B track finds the London BRIT Award-winner collaborating with London-based rapper Shygirl.
Produced by MXM and Wolf Cousins, it follows April single Vitamins and comes paired with a powerful David Wilson-directed video that flips the male gaze, below. Mabel commented:
"This record is about questioning the male gaze and the power of the divine feminine. I’ve often felt judged by my appearance, and I’ve let comments get the better of me. Now, I’m at a stage in my life where I’m celebrating my body without letting it define me. I wanted to let anyone who’s ever underestimated me or judged the book by its cover know that I'm ok with them doing that now because I know who I am.
"Collaborating with Shygirl is something I’ve wanted to do for a really long time as I’m a big fan of her music and everything fell into place with this record. She totally understood everything I wanted it to be and she’s made the song so special. She’s a superstar."
Shygirl added: "Had such a cute time working with Mabel on this one - an easy and natural fit, just love hanging out with her. A song for those who love watching."
Mabel released her latest album, 'About Last Night...', in 2022. She'll appear as part of the huge line-up for BBC Radio 1's Big Weekend in Luton later in May.
Shygirl put out her debut album, 'Nymph', in 2022, followed by an extensive deluxe edition the following year. She shared her 'Club Shy' EP back in February.
