Quotes from 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.

I want to be an artist that grows slowly. If you appear overnight, there's a chance that you will also just disappear overnight.

I want to make people dance, I want to make people smile, and I want my music to get played in clubs.

When I was younger, I would listen to Lauryn Hill, Destiny's Child, Justin Timberlake, Aaliyah: lots of '90s R&B.

I've been working a lot with this girl Kelly Kiara. She's amazing. She's going to be super important for R&B coming out of the U.K.

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.

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.

I'm just trying to be myself and encourage other young women to be themselves.

Young women look at me and think, 'She's really confident. She has always had it figured out,' but actually, I really, really haven't. That has come over time as I became a young woman.

Just enjoy every moment - don't stress. Just be yourself.

I lived wherever my parents felt like making music, which had its ups and downs - I've had to move schools, but I've also seen a lot of amazing places and been on tour with my parents.

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.

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.'

A couple of days out of the month, I talk to my stylist, and we just get a big chunk of looks that'll last me a while.

'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.

I'm not embarrassed to say I want to be successful, but only on my terms.

Being mainstream is fun.
