Editor's note

Mabel's pop with a soulful family touch

A London singer who grew up around Neneh Cherry and Cameron McVey, then carved her own lane with hits like 'Don't Call Me Up'.

For a quick sense of her style, try 'Animal' or 'Crying On The Dance Floor.' They're both pop, but they've got that soulful edge she grew up with.

She won the Brit Award for British Female Solo Artist in 2020, and her songs like 'Animal' and 'Crying On The Dance Floor' blend pop hooks with the R&B and soul she heard at home. That mix gives her music a lived-in feel, even on the dance floor.

Her first single 'Know Me Better' landed in 2017. By 2019 she had the hit 'Don't Call Me Up' and the debut album 'High Expectations,' followed by 'About Last Night.' in 2022.
