Mabel has announced a self-titled new mixtape.
'Mabel' will arrive on July 25 via Polydor Records. It's comprised of nine tracks recorded mostly at the London BRIT Award-winner's home studio over the last year, alongside co-producers Oscar Scheller and Arthur Bean. Mabel said:
"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."
To coincide with the announcement, Mabel has shared the mixtape's introspective opening track, January 19, which finds her reflecting on identity and personal growth, having navigated 10 years in the spotlight. It's named after the day it was written.
"I wrote this exactly one month before my 29th birthday and I was reflecting on another year around the sun," added Mabel. "The process of writing this was a brain dump about the pressure that I’ve felt throughout my career. The need for approval is something that has eaten me up at times but now I’m in a place where I’m so comfortable just doing things for me!"
Mabel's latest album is 2022's 'About Last Night…'. She has dropped a number of singles and collaborated with various artists over the last year, including Benz with Clavish, All Over You with King Promise, Vitamins, Chat and Stupid Dumb featuring Ty Dolla Sign.
Mabel will headline the Notion stage at the inaugural SXSW London in Shoreditch tonight (June 2).
