Mabel Teams Up with Ty Dolla $ign for New Song “Stupid Dumb”
London-based singer-songwriter Mabe teamed up with American singer-songwriter Ty Dolla $ign to release a new song “Stupid Dumb” on October 11, 2024.
This marks the first collaboration between Mabel and Ty Dolla $ign.
Both artists recorded the song in the heart of Los Angeles for five, six hours.
The song will appear on her upcoming third studio album, which hasn't been announced a release date yet.
But in addition to the new song, she released two songs “Chat” and “Vitamins” from the album, so far.
The track was written by Anton Göransson, Isabella Sjostrand, Mabel Mcvey, Marlon Roudette, Steven Franks, Tommy Brown, and Ty Dolla $ign. Produced by Anton Göransson, Steven Franks, and Tommy Brown.
Mabel said of the song, “Stupid Dumb is about when you’re literally crazy about someone. I wanted to capture that euphoric feeling you get when that special someone is all you can think about. Working with Ty Dolla Sign on this record has been so special. I’ve been a huge fan of his for a long time and our recording session was definitely one of my favourites ever!”- Mabel shared on social media, “I knew I had to go back to making music that made my heart and soul full. Signed a record deal nearly ten years ago. Spent a decade people pleasing. The industry is gross and will particularly take young women and turn them into whoever tf they think they should be. This isn't the first or the last time ur gna hear this story but it's important it keeps getting told. So happy to be working with artists and producers that inspire and support me differentttt. Always wanted to make a song exactly like this with exactly this person and now it exists.”

The new album is the follow-up to the 2022 album “About Last Night...”. On the album, she returned to her R&B roots.
Mabel told NME about the album, “There is especially a pressure on female artists that, with every album, you recreate yourself, right? ‘Oh, what’s the new era?’ [This time,] it’s just me being myself and stripping back layers rather than building a narrative. That’s why there’s an R&B section, a pop section and an Afrobeats section that were all made in the places I am from.”
She continued, “I made pop music here [in Britain] and then I spent a lot of time in Sweden. Then I went to West Africa and made Afrobeats, so [my third album] was kind of like a homecoming for me. I am so many different things and maybe I felt like I had to pick one thing for people to understand who I am when, actually, how do I mix all of that into one record? It is unapologetically me, like, I am organised chaos.” - source : Apple Music
