    Overall, About Last Night… manages to keep the party going – it’s just more convincing when tears mix with the prosecco.

    ‘About Last Night…’ leaves you with your ears ringing, hooks stuck in your head and a healthy dose of dancefloor catharsis that’ll make you feel lighter – much like the jacket you forgot to collect from the cloakroom.

    Mixing disco, dance, pop and R&B elements, ‘About Last Night…’ whisks us through the highs and lows of the best night out of your life, and Mabel is the perfect party guide.

    Mabel also retains the tender, thoughtful quality that infused her debut album High Expectations (2019), and this makes for an impressively nuanced flow.

    It’s not expressly about anything. This is music that performs confidence, that uses confidence as a genre rather than embodying it in any convincing sense.

    The album rallies later on, as I Love Your Girl and When The Party’s Over are impeccable tunes that more than deserve their place, but Mabel’s dedication to the pure pop that gave her big hits in 2019-20 is now threatening to leave her somewhat faceless.

    While many of the right components are present, About Last Night... feels like a plate of empty calories; struggling to reach a sense of genuine empowerment on account of its overstuffed production and lyrics that are vague to the point of meaninglessness.

    While being a relatively simple concept, it works well cohesively and follows a clear path and story but still keeps as an unapologetic funWhile being a relatively simple concept, it works well cohesively and follows a clear path and story but still keeps as an unapologetic fun pop album without being too tryhard.

    Personal favourites being Animal (including the intro transition), I love your girl and let love go. All tracks are very solid and have a relevant place aside from LOL which sounds slightly out of place and the vocal just doesn’t sound like Mabel’s voice to me?    … Expand

Mabel put much empowerment in every track, with catchy beats and confidence-boosting lyrics, however with very simmilar production which gets boring while listening to the whole album. She tried very hard to make About last night different and better than her debut High Expectations, but sadly she didn't menage to do so.… Expand
