Powered by Audioscrobbler™1) Mabel Alabama Pearl McVey (born on 19 February 1996 in Málaga, Spain) is a British singer and songwriter. She is the daughter of Swedish hit singer Neneh Cherry and British hit producer Cameron McVey. At age fifteen, Mabel enrolled at the Stockholm music school Rytmus Musikergymnasiet, a music high school, where she took a three-year course in songwriting, production and music theory.

Mabel released her debut single "Know Me Better" in July 2015, which caught the attention of BBC Radio 1 DJ Annie Mac, who made the song her Tune of the Week. Within weeks, Mabel signed a recording contract with Universal.

In March 2017, after the releases of the 2015 and 2016 singles "My Boy My Town" and "Thinking Of You", she released "Finders Keepers (feat. Kojo Funds)" featuring British rapper Kojo Funds. It became a surprise hit on the UK Charts, peaking at #8. It is currently certified double-platinum, having sold more than 1.2 million copies in the nation.

Mabel opened for English singer Harry Styles during the European part of the second leg of a tour in the support of his debut studio album. In October 2017, she released her debut mixtape Ivy to Roses. It spawned the UK Top 40-hit “Fine Line” and was supported by the single “Begging” and a headlining tour across Europe.

In June 2018, she was featured on "Ring Ring" alongside American rapper Rich the Kid and British DJ Jax Jones. Later that year, she released "One Shot". Both songs were later included on a re-issue of Ivy to Roses.

In January 2019, Mabel was nominated for British Breakthrough Act at the 2019 Brit Awards. She re-released Ivy to Roses with a new cover art and the inclusion of all the singles that had been released since the first edition's release. With this, Mabel also released "Don't Call Me Up", which went on to become her biggest hit to date. The single peaked at #3 on the UK Charts, reached the Top 10 on thirty-two other charts across Europe, and peaked at #66 on the Billboard Hot 100. The song was also performed at the 2020 Brit Awards as the opening act for the award ceremony. It was certified 3 x platinum in the UK, having sold more than 1.8 million copies in the nation. Globally, it has sold over 5 million certified records.

On 7 June 2019, she released "Mad Love", the second single from her debut studio album, High Expectations, which was released on 2 August that year. The single peaked at #8, while the album debuted and peaked at #3. The album stayed on the UK Albums Charts for more than 100 weeks.

At The 2020 Brits, Mabel won Best British Female. In February 2020, she released the song "Boyfriend", another UK Top 10-hit. Later that year, in July, Mabel collaborated with AJ Tracey on "West Ten", which became a UK Top 5, and with Clean Bandit on "Tick Tock", which became a UK Top 10 and an international Top 40-hit.

In 2021, “Let Them Know” was released as the lead single to Mabel her sophomore album. It was promoted on Love Island UK, after which it peaked at #19. The second single, "Good Luck", featuring Jax Jones and Swedish EDM duo Galantis was released on 18 March 2022, many months later. The song failed to reach the UK Top 40.

About Last Night... was released on 15 July 2022 through Polydor Records. It debuted and peaked at #2 following a tight race for Number 1. Despite its peak, it fell off the charts in the following weeks. "Overthinking" featuring 24kGoldn was released as the third and final single off the album on 20 May 2022. Meanwhile, she had a Top 40-hit over the winter with Joel Corry on “I Wish”.

On 8 June 2023 Sveriges Radio announced Mabel would be one of the hosts of the 2023 season of Swedish radio show Sommar. On 20 March, Mabel posted a statement on Instagram saying that she will be releasing new music after being in an 18-month hiatus. “Vitamins” and “Look at My Body, Pt. II” followed as its first singles. Both singles failed to impact the UK Top 100.

With more than a billion UK streams, Mabel has received the Brits Billion Awards. She is one of the most successful British female artists to have emerged in the 2010s, having scored 11 Top 40-hits. Her album High Expectations is one of the longest-charting female albums of all time.
