May 26, 20223 yr Mabel is exploring club culture in bold, brilliant new ways on her upcoming album, About Last Night..., a vivid and hyperreal journey from the unknown start to the messy end of the night out that never was. Throughout, songs transport the minutiae - getting ready; feeling invincible; clocking an ex; crying in the bathroom; friends lifting you up; the group stumbling home - and ultimately transform normality into the majestic. A notable shift from the disco-fantasia which blossomed early in the pandemic, About Last Night... distills the sweaty, grotty and unglamorous side of noughties club-culture, with influences spanning house, trance, rave, R&B, and the melting pot of young London. The 25-year-old aims to create an online soundtrack of nighttime euphoria with the process of growing up in the public eye. The project is introduced by first single, "Let Them Know" - an anthem of positivity, defiance, and dressing up with nowhere to go. Mabel wrote the track alongside Raye and SG Lewis in the shared mission of creating 2021's answer to "Vogue". By this stage of lockdown, Mabel had skipped the national grief of banana-bread-baking in favour of throwing herself into dance classes, obsessively re-watching Paris Is Burning, Pose and Drag Race, and reflecting on the club as a historical haven for the marginalised.
May 27, 20223 yr 4-26-34-68-x I think that's generous, I'm thinking 7-71-out at this stage unless she has something miraculously take off before the album drops.
May 27, 20223 yr I feel like the album will actually be really good and the gays will eat it up, but yeah commercial success will be a failure.
May 27, 20223 yr Yeah I’m really looking forward to it. There is an Apple Music edition which includes I Wish and five other unannounced songs. Hopefully the label have a plan to build up some hype before release.
May 27, 20223 yr thank god it wasn't scrapped! i had a gut feeling that the label were gonna scrap it! looking forward to this! hopefully there'll be a decent radio hit that can get her another chart hit!
May 27, 20223 yr Shame she doesn’t have her Joel Corry collab on there as a bonus track It’s a bonus track on streaming.
May 27, 20223 yr It’s a bonus track on streaming. Just seen on iTunes that it’s track 14 on the Apple Music edition of the album
May 27, 20223 yr signed cassette + cd bundle for only 14 quid is a great price! i think they've done well on the prices so hopefully they'll be able to sell plenty of physicals to get it up the albums chart! hopefully it can go top 5 for her!
May 27, 20223 yr Shame they don’t have it in a complete bundle with CD, cassette and vinyl Edited May 27, 20223 yr by Hadji
May 27, 20223 yr https://www.theguardian.com/music/2022/may/...-cruel-comments This is an interesting and honest interview, addressing how she half checked out of the last era, her concerns about this era underperforming and her overall relationship with the current state of the music industry and anxiety.

That's actually a really quite sad interview :(
May 28, 20223 yr maybe its a cliché (happens to like 90% of UK female artists to. just have 1 successful era) but it' still sad to read
May 28, 20223 yr the interview made me quite emotional! hope this album can do decently for her, if only to make her feel better about herself! if only they had a time machine and could replace good luck as a single!
July 8, 20223 yr Author "Crying on the Dance Floor" is going to be released before the album is out next week.

Oh very good that sounds like she is still on course to explore club culture in bold, brilliant new ways! Thought from the discussion on here a while ago that she had changed plans and was going back to R&B/pop.
