Mabel wants Skepta duet

Mabel wants to team up with pal Skepta on a duet.
The 21-year-old star – whose famous parents are Neneh Cherry and Massive Attack star Cameron McVey – is good friends with the ‘Shut Down’ rapper after they met through having the same management company, and as she prepares to release her first full-length album, Mabel says she’d love the chance to get into the studio and do a track with the grime star.
The ‘Finders Keepers’ hitmaker – who was shortlisted for the BRITs Critics’ Choice Award along with Stefflon Don this year, but lost out to friend Jojra Smith – exclusively told BANG Showbiz: "We have our management tied, but yeah I’d love a Skepta production."
Mabel’s mother is Swedish and she says the pop scene over there has had a big influence on her career, and she even admits to being a "secret" ABBA fan.
She said: "Robyn was a massive, massive influence.
"I think in general Swedes are just so good at pop and I wouldn’t say I make straight ahead pop, but I am definitely influenced by that mindset."
Asked if she is into the ‘Dancing Queen’ group – who rose to fame after winning the Eurovision Song Contest in 1974 – she laughed: "Definitely."
Mabel – who released mixtape ‘Ivy To Roses’ to critical acclaim last year – is keen to knuckle down and get her album out.
She said: "I definitely want to put a record out, more singles.
"Keep the fans happy making music that I love."
