There's so many inspiring women dominating the charts, so I feel like I'm definitely a part of a wave that's just really interesting and really cool.
Quote by -Mabel
I know I love going to my gym - I have a whole list of things I love to do by myself without needing someone else to make me happy.
Quote by -Mabel
I have, like, 'Finders Keepers' fever now! Sometimes I go in the studio, and I'm like, 'That worked so well, and I wrote it in 45 minutes, so if I try wearing the same outfit and playing on the same piano, it'll happen again.'
Quote by -Mabel
I want to make people dance, I want to make people smile, and I want my music to get played in clubs.
Quote by -Mabel
I put a song on Soundcloud, and Annie Mac made it record of the week, and a month later, I signed my record deal.
Quote by -Mabel
I moved from Stockholm to London, and I didn't want to work with my parents or have them help me in any way, I think just to prove to myself that I have my own talent.
Quote by -Mabel
All the buzz can be very much here today and gone tomorrow, but my focus is creating music that will last forever.
Quote by -Mabel
I think growing up, people want to put you in a box and label you quite often, just because it's kind of easier, I guess.
Quote by -Mabel
I don't actually get that many DMs. I tell myself that it's because guys might be intimidated, but I'm not that sure.
Quote by -Mabel
I wish I could teleport and cut out the travelling in between gigs. I want the luxury of the shows without the painful bits stuck on a tour bus.
Quote by -Mabel
I had a difficult childhood. I had lots of anxiety and questions. I found the world scary and intimidating.
Quote by -Mabel
I want to be an artist that grows slowly. If you appear overnight, there's a chance that you will also just disappear overnight.
Quote by -Mabel
When I was younger, I would listen to Lauryn Hill, Destiny's Child, Justin Timberlake, Aaliyah: lots of '90s R&B.
Quote by -Mabel
I found being a teenager quite difficult, actually. I put a lot of pressure on myself, and now, looking back at it, I really wish that I had relaxed and just enjoyed it more.
Quote by -Mabel
There's so many R&B songs where guys are talking about a clingy girl, like, 'I don't want a girlfriend, and this girl's so clingy, and blah blah blah.' But I'm a woman, and I've been in situations that have been the reverse of that, so I wanted to tell that story.
Quote by -Mabel
I think there is a misconception that being open and honest and saying what it is you want is something we should be embarrassed about. But that's just not me. I am a very honest person. I always tell somebody what I am looking for, and I don't want people to waste my time, basically.
Quote by -Mabel
I remember trying so hard to get into Bon Iver. I'd lie in bed listening with my eyes screwed up, like, 'This is just depressing me.'
Quote by -Mabel
I'm the biggest Drake fan - my favorite is 'Tuscan Leather' because it's like three songs in one, and for somebody that's obsessed with keys, the outro has the best keys ever.
Quote by -Mabel
I think I took after my parents. Using music as one of my main ways of expression just felt natural.
Quote by -Mabel
Growing up, I was confused about my identity: I felt like I wasn't black enough to be black, but not white enough to be white.
Quote by -Mabel
I grew up listening to loads of afrobeats; my grandad's Sierra Leonean, so that was always around. My mum loves those kind of beats, too.
Quote by -Mabel
I can't believe that I'm MTV's Brand New for 2018. Big love to MTV for even giving me this opportunity and to all the fans for voting.
Quote by -Mabel
Swedes celebrate Christmas Eve. Every Sunday leading up to Christmas, we light a candle, then make gingerbread and saffron buns.
Quote by -Mabel
'Finders Keepers' is guaranteed to create a vibe. If I'm having a difficult show, then I know I've got that song at the end to turn it around, and the phones will come out.
Quote by -Mabel
Gigs are my favourite thing - even the not so good ones, because you always learn something.
Quote by -Mabel
Harry Styles threw a cream pie at my face in front of 15,000 people to thank me for the months we spent on the road.
Quote by -Mabel
Whenever I have a bad day, I tell everybody around me, 'Just so guys know I am having a bad day and I am nervous about these things,' and that makes all the difference.
Quote by -Mabel
I think the best thing that I can do is be myself. I don't know about being a role model; I think placing that sort of title on myself is too much. It's trying to be this thing that puts loads of pressure on something.
Quote by -Mabel
I feel incredibly lucky to have grown up with creative parents and around creative people, many of whom live with anxiety. My mum would sometimes say that it was a beautiful thing, and that it would come in handy when making music - and it's made me a more empathetic person.
Quote by -Mabel
I feel so blessed that I grew up in the age of the independent woman, the survivor. I had Destiny's Child telling me I didn't need a man to feel good about myself, and I want to carry on that message.
