Mabel continues her recent golden run with ‘Benz’. Out now, the new single re-connects Mabel with her R&B roots, but uses her soulful delivery in a different way. Produced by Arthur Bean it’s a trap-infused roller, a slice of street level R&B that matches velvet finesse to a palpable bite. UK underground rap hero Clavish guests, and he adds a totally different energy, helping to perfectly balance the song.
