Alongside the tour announcement, Mabel has also shared a brand-new track ‘Love Me Gentle’, produced by Arthur Bean, who produced previous single ‘Benz’. With additional production from Mabel herself, the upbeat and vulnerable track once again showcases a more raw, introspective side of Mabel as she opens up about the complexities of relationships and needing to be met with greater care, tenderness, and understanding.
Speaking about Love Me Gentle, Mabel said: “Love Me Gentle was the first track written for my mixtape. It’s about in general how I wish people would think before judging someone and this song is my plea to be more gentle when it comes to how we treat each other.”
The track is the third to be lifted from Mabel’s upcoming self-titled mixtape, following ‘Benz’ ft. Clavish and ‘January 19’. The project marks a bold reintroduction to the BRIT award-winning artist, offering a raw and unfiltered statement of who Mabel is today. Recorded over the past few months, largely at her home studio, the 9-track mixtape features a number of close collaborators, including a verse from Clavish and production by Oscar Scheller (PinkPantheress, Shygirl), Arthur Bean (Central Cee) and more. Blending multiple genres and reconnecting with her acclaimed earlier sound, the project captures the full spectrum of Mabel’s artistry and identity.
Speaking about the mixtape, Mabel said: “The tape is all new music made in the last few months with some of my nearest and dearest. It’s really important to me with this project that people know that this is where I’m at now and I wanted it to come out without too much overthinking. It’s a blend of all the genres and cultures that make me who I am and I would say it’s beautiful organised chaos. It doesn’t have to make sense to everyone and I think it’s the first time in a long time I’ve been this unfiltered. There’s both a simplicity and a depth to the music that I love, in a way I just wrote it without too much thought but afterwards I realised it’s kind of a toxic love letter to my 10 years in the industry.”
Mabel’s self-titled mixtape marks her first project since 2022’s studio album ‘About Last Night…’ and follows a string of critically acclaimed singles over the last year including, ‘All Over You’ft. King Promise, ‘Vitamins’, ‘Stupid Dumb’ ft. Ty Dolla Sign and ‘Chat’.
