Mabel isn’t just another pop star—she’s a dynasty. Born into a lineage of music legends, she’s carved her own lane in the industry, bridging the gaps between R&B, UK pop, and global Afrobeats. On this episode of Afrobeats Intelligence, she sits with Joey Akan to break down the DNA of her sound, the pressures of legacy, and why her latest reinvention is her most personal yet. From London’s underground to Sweden’s polished pop factories, and now to the heartbeat of African rhythms, Mabel’s journey is a masterclass in adaptation and authenticity.
