    Two of Kluminican Republic, Persephonia, Terra Avium, Cumulonimbia and Kathaldazia will win.

     

    One of Lookylion, Bhangra, Greenfroze or Quintessa will also win.

     

    FARC, Aeroche and Altyr will all get one each, but ONE of these will also suffer two DNQs during the year.

    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.

    this is the most cliched press release of all time

     

    the 25 year old?
