One of the first things I did was ask her to send me music that she liked, and I thought there was a little bit of a disconnect what she was putting out. вЂњI could see she was smart and knew what she wanted from the first time I met her, but she had trouble articulating how she wanted the music to be. вЂњI thought about it and decided that the best thing to do would be to just hang out, because I didnвЂ™t know her and itвЂ™s weird trying to manage someone that you donвЂ™t know or have some kind of rapport with. вЂњShe was like, вЂI donвЂ™t have any management, do you want to work with me?вЂ™,вЂќ recalls Medar, who was then part of SkeptaвЂ™s backroom team. The missing piece in the puzzle was Metallic Management co-founder Radha Medar, who bonded with Mabel when the singer appeared in SkeptaвЂ™s Shutdown video.

вЂњI wouldnвЂ™t say to everybody, вЂSign to a major, it will make you successfulвЂ™. вЂњI was like, вЂIf we can do all our ideas out-of-house and then come in and have an amazing team around us to make those a reality, then the bigger, the betterвЂ™. вЂњThat had just always been my dream,вЂќ she admits. The mind boggles when you think about how much has changed in the last four years.вЂќДЇor Mabel, signing with a major label was a no-brainer. вЂњ wasnвЂ™t even on DSPs and I donвЂ™t even know if she had an Instagram at that point. There was no hype around it, sheвЂ™d maybe had one play on Toddla TвЂ™s Radio 1 show, but I just really liked her. вЂњI loved that song, Know Me Better, so much. вЂњShe walked into my old office back in Kensington High Street вЂ“ I donвЂ™t miss that place! And she had a great vibe about her,вЂќ remarks Polydor co-president Ben Mortimer. Polydor joined the fray soon after, having been drawn in by a demo version of MabelвЂ™s debut track, Know Me Better, co-written with Athlete frontman and BMG songwriter Joel Pott. вЂњWhat IвЂ™ve been astounded by is how her talent has grown sheвЂ™s got real ambition, resolve and stamina and a great work ethic, coupled with outstanding talent and vision.вЂќ But I was struck by her songwriting, which I thought was really strong. That sometimes puts you off, because you wonder if you are meeting them just because theyвЂ™re in the family. вЂњI also publish her mum, her dad and her brother, so there was a family connection. вЂњShe was quite understated, but you could tell there was a steely ambition there,вЂќ remembers Hugo Turquet, BMGвЂ™s SVP, publishing A&R.

First on the scene was BMG, which raced to sign her to a publishing deal in 2015. The daughter of singer Neneh Cherry and Massive Attack producer Cameron McVey, the roots of MabelвЂ™s breakthrough can be traced back four years. TheyвЂ™re very personal to me, but as soon as you put a song out it belongs to everybody else in a nice way and I canвЂ™t wait for that to happen with this album.вЂќ вЂњIвЂ™ve been working on it for about two-and-a-half years and I canвЂ™t wait for people to make the songs their own. вЂњIвЂ™m so ready for people to hear it,вЂќ the singer/songwriter tells Music Week. All of which bodes well for her forthcoming debut LP, the boldly-titled High Expectations, out via Polydor on August 2. She released silver-certified mixtape Ivy To Roses (69,700 sales, OCC) in 2017 and has built up a solid social media base (583,000 followers on Instagram and 107,000 on Twitter). Garnering a mighty 18.4 million monthly listeners, Mabel ranks 115th in the world on Spotify.

Nominated for Best British Breakthrough at the 2019 BRIT Awards, she has scored two Top 10 singles to date, sold out O2 Academy Brixton and performed to a TV audience of millions on The Graham Norton Show.

Mabel McVey, to give the Spanish-born star her full name, is growing accustomed to such acclaim. IвЂ™m just like, вЂOK, IвЂ™ve got that, now I want this', which I think is good вЂ“ but itвЂ™s important to have those moments.вЂќ вЂњI guess itвЂ™s moments like that when you stop and think, вЂOh my God, things are really sickвЂ™ because I have a tendency to score a goal and then move the goalposts, rather than celebrate the goal. вЂњTo have that recognition at home is just so exciting,вЂќ smiles Mabel. Not bad for an act yet to release a studio album. Mabel received the unique honour of having her face emblazoned across the UKвЂ™s best-known billboard by the good people at YouTube Music after being named the streaming serviceвЂ™s first UK Artist On The Rise (she has close to 500,000 fans on the platform). But in May, they made way for a 23-year-old from London вЂ“ temporarily, at least. The iconic neon screens of Piccadilly Circus have showcased world famous advertisers such as Coca-Cola, Samsung and Hyundai for generations.

Here, to mark the release of her debut album High Expectations, we meet a singer/songwriter aiming for the stars. Currently lighting up charts worldwide, Mabel is an international superstar in the making.
