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

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

    ‘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.

    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.

    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.

    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.

    É ótimo quando um artista mostra uma notável evolução de um álbum para outro. O que faltou de conceito e coesão em seu álbum de estreia,É ótimo quando um artista mostra uma notável evolução de um álbum para outro. O que faltou de conceito e coesão em seu álbum de estreia, "About Last Night..." veio para saciar. "Animal" é um hit no gatilho. Um pouco tarde após a explosão disco liderada por Dua Lipa, Kylie Minogue e outros? Talvez sim. Mas nenhuma boate fecha tão cedo!… Full Review »

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.… Full Review »
