The cup of talent seemingly owned by South London wonderkid MNEK doesn’t just overflow - it’s positively drowning.
Recent live shows have been impressive - the 19-year old songwriter, producer and performer exudes a confidence and rapport that isn’t without substance. He is very much the real deal: vocally on form and attuned to the fineries of pop songwriting and delivery, as you’d expect from someone who has worked with Rudimental and Little Mix
Recent track “Wrote A Song About You” now has a clip that keeps the focus wholly on the Lewisham-born boy while still playing around with the retro-fringes that permeate his sound. Watch below.
