So long MNEK has had to wait for his first UK #1 single but it has come in 2020 with the help of DJ Joel Corry. His music career has hit many highs in the last decade including collaborations with some major producers in the music industry as well as producing music for many other well known names such as The Saturdays, Little Mix, Beyoncé, Dua Lipa and Madonna to name some. His vocals have been used on many dance tracks over the years and this is a list of all his collaborations so far;

Close (with Sub Focus)


Spoons (with Rudimental & Syron)


Baby (with Rudimental & Sinead Harnett)


Ready For Your Love (with Gorgon City)


Never Forget You (with Zara Larsson)


Common Emotion (with Rudimental)


House Work (with Jax Jones & Mike Dunn)


Freak Like Me (with Lee Walker, DJ Deeon & Katy B)


No Question (with Shift K3Y & Ryan Ashley)


Bruised Not Broken (with Matoma & Kiana Ledé)


Deeper (with Riton & The House Gospel Choir)


Worship (with The Knocks)


Not For The Radio (with Tinie Tempah)


Colour (with Hailee Steinfeld)


Better Together (with Boston Bun)


Don’t Wanna Dance (with Boston Bun)


100 Times (with Jax Jones)


Find A Place (with Becky Hill)


Perfect Harmony (with Pete Tong & The Heritage Orchestra)


Bridges (with KABBA)


Head & Heart (with Joel Corry)



Which of his current dance features is your favourite?

Which dance producers would you like to see him feature with in the future?


I’ve gone for a Jax Jones song at the top of this list being my favourite, I guess it really stood out at the time and it still sounds great. There is so much quality within this list it was hard to choose but this is how I’ve rated MNEK’s dance features;

1. House Work (with Jax Jones & Mike Dunn)
2. Ready For Your Love (with Gorgon City)
3. Freak Like Me (with Lee Walker, DJ Deeon & Katy B)
4. Never Forget You (with Zara Larsson)
5. Head & Heart (with Joel Corry)
6. Close (with Sub Focus)
7. 100 Times (with Jax Jones)
8. Colour (with Hailee Steinfeld)
9. Deeper (with Riton & The House Gospel Choir)
10. Perfect Harmony (with Pete Tong & The Heritage Orchestra)
11. Spoons (with Rudimental & Syron)
12. Bruised Not Broken (with Matoma & Kiana Ledé)
13. Worship (with The Knocks)
14. Better Together (with Boston Bun)
15. Common Emotion (with Rudimental)
16. Find A Place (with Becky Hill)
17. Don’t Wanna Dance (with Boston Bun)
18. Not For The Radio (with Tinie Tempah)
19. Baby (with Rudimental & Sinead Harnett)
20. Bridges (with KABBA)
21. No Question (with Shift K3Y & Ryan Ashley)

Now that he has a #1 single he is certain to get more artists approaching him. In terms of future dance projects for MNEK, Nathan Dawe looks like a strong possibility and I’m going to say Afrojack as another name to throw into the ring.

Went for Freak Like Me. Katy B and MNEK are a great combination for vocals and the bassline is great in this one too.

I'd say Ready For Your Love is just about my fave, but I also love Never Forget You, Freak Like Me, House Work and Head & Heart [too early to tell for me if I'll rank it higher than those other few]

Is MNEK really in "Don't Wanna Dance"? I think he just co-wrote it. Also is the Tinie Tempah collab a dance song?

I believe he did indeed record the vocals but that they were edited.

As for Tinie Tempah, I’m going to delegate this question to my esteemed colleague lewistgreen! wink.gif

He's had a lot of good stuff but Head & Heart instantly tops the list for me!
