An effortless storyteller with a pure and unfiltered singing talent and songwriting ability, Mabel McVey has an instinctive gift of melody far beyond her 22 years.
Indeed Mabel has made quite the impression since bursting on to the scene in September 2015 with her release ‘Know Me Better’. Quietly released onto Mabel’s personal SoundCloud, the single didn’t remain a secret for long, putting the wheels in motion for Mabel to become a fresh and exciting name amongst a brand new generation of R&B chanteuses.
In the three and a half years since then, Mabel’s growth (musically, emotionally, and visually) has been extraordinary. Her formative material led to the surprise breakthrough of ‘Finders Keepers’ ft. Kojo Funds in 2017, which went platinum, spent five weeks in the top ten, and saw Mabel nominated for her first BRIT Award (Critics’ Choice).
She has gone from playing nervous, intimate shows to touring with Harry Styles, to selling out her own dates around the world (including London’s Brixton Academy). Over two million single sales in the UK and over half a billion streams followed.
Repaying all her early promise in the process, Mabel has emerged as one of the UK’s most positive, candid lyrical voices, with songs that frequently explore everything from identity (sexual, racial, personal), to the challenges of modern relationships, and working out who you are and what you want.
Other notable top 20 chart successes include 'My Lover' with Not3s (14) and Fine Line' ft. Not3s (11), both from the 'Ivy to Roses' mixtape, as well as the catchy 'Ring Ring' (12) with Jax Jones ft. Rich the Kid.
