Language, Mnek’s Debut Album, is Out Now

Capitol Records released Language, the debut album from MNEK. The 23-year-old U.K. artist already has one billion streams to his name, between his early material and wider collaborations. After writing and producing for such artists as Beyoncé, Dua Lipa, Little Mix, Madonna, Diplo, MØ, Rudimental, to name a few, MNEK now puts his formidable talent in the service of his own artistic vision.

His new single, “Colour” featuring singer/actress Hailee Steinfeld, reached a massive 25 global New Music Friday playlists and streams have surpassed 50 million. The FADER said, “It’s brimful of rainbow metaphors and positivity and everything you probably need more of.” Streams of the album’s first single, “Tongue,” now exceed eight million.

Language is an album that subverts all preconceptions, cleverly playing on its own extensive pop knowledge and reframing it as something brand new. When the familiar sample from Ultra Nate’s “Free” is chopped and screwed through “Paradise,” two tracks later MNEK presents his own utopian song called “Free.” These little touches are its making.

MNEK signed his first publishing deal at age 14. “Never Forget You,” his duet with Zara Larsson, topped Billboard’s Hot Dance/Electronic Songs chart and has been certified 3x Platinum in the U.S. He featured on Duke Dumont’s “Need You (100%),” which earned a GRAMMY® nomination for Best Dance Recording. The list of artists MNEK has written and produced for includes Beyoncé, Dua Lipa, Little Mix, Madonna, Diplo, MØ, Rudimental, Julia Michaels and Stormzy, to name but a few.
