Beyond knowing that he was up-and-coming (and quite young), I didn't pay much attention to this guy. But his new single is fantastic stuff. Well produced, well written, and fun fun fun. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EDTUYanmGzQ&feature=player_embedded Available to download November 7th.
Oh, and he helped write "All Fired Up". This is TRULY brilliant. Dare I say reminiscent of early Sam Sparro? #slayed
I like this and I like him and his production style, but I'm not completely sold yet. This is brilliant though: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EYvlldqu1K8
It's nice Paige from The X Factor has got a new job. It's a grower, but I wish he hadn't messed with his vocals so much. (The Dimitri Tikovoi remix is good too. [And the Manhattan Clique one too!])

Re: MNEK (Debut Album) I really haven't enjoyed much of his previous work, so I don't hold out too much hope for this album. A lot of it sounds a bit tinny and hookless to me? That being said, that mixtape was amazing, so at least we know he's aiming high.
Re: MNEK (Debut Album) What is this? A young male with solid pop instincts who's not afraid to show them off? Anyone who had a hand in All Fired Up gets a look from me.
Re: MNEK (Debut Album) His vocals are also so versatile too. AND he knows his way with a pop hook. All Fired Up was the big pop single of 2011 and gets better with every year. Amazing eh?
Re: MNEK (Debut Album) I really can't put my finger on it. He just doesn't seem like popstar material for me. He yet has to amaze me I guess. But I'm curious and I hope he can change my mind in 2014.
Re: MNEK (Debut Album) He is one of the best thing to happen to pop in recent years. If a pop girl gets him a lead single (we all know who we're looking at here, come on now Q2 2014) on his hands then I can see him properly properly exploding.
