British pop icon Mabel released her highly anticipated single, “All Over You”, featuring Ghanaian superstar King Promise. Out now via Capitol Records, this amapiano-inspired track signals a fresh and vibrant direction for the BRIT Award-winning artist, known for hits like “Don’t Call Me Up” and “My Lover.”
A Surprise Collaboration Born in Lagos
The single follows a surprise performance by Mabel and King Promise during his headline show in London last month, leaving fans buzzing with excitement. Produced by the Nigerian Afrobeats powerhouse Magicsticks—renowned for his work with Asake, Central Cee, and Davido—“All Over You” was created in the heart of Lagos. The track masterfully blends pulsating amapiano beats with Mabel’s velvety harmonies and a heartfelt verse from King Promise, resulting in an infectious celebration of love and adoration.
Speaking about the collaboration, Mabel said:
“Honestly, I really want the song to speak for itself. It represents my reconnection to a side of me that I haven’t explored musically in a while. I made this tune with Magicsticks in Lagos. Being a fan of his work, I made the trip to him, and we had so much fun. King Promise added a beautiful layer to the track, and I’m excited with how much more there is to come.”
King Promise also shared his excitement:
“Jumping on this record was a no-brainer as soon as I heard it. It sounded like something I would have made myself and written just like I would have. Storytelling in music is my vibe, and making people dance at the same time is golden. Mabel is amazing, and it was good vibes right from when we linked up.”
The Magic of the Official Music Video
The release of “All Over You” is accompanied by a stunning official music video directed by Nathan James Tetty, whose artistic flair adds depth to the song’s already vibrant energy. The video perfectly captures the spirit of the track, pairing cinematic visuals with the pulsating rhythm of the music.
Mabel’s Return to Her Roots
“All Over You” continues Mabel’s recent return to her R&B and Afrobeats-inspired roots, following her 2024 single “Vitamins.” Over the past year, Mabel has shared a series of critically acclaimed singles, including “Stupid Dumb” featuring Ty Dolla $ign, “Chat,” and the empowering anthems “Look At My Body Pt.II” featuring Shygirl and “Female Intuition.”
