Well this is pretty delicious. Featuring 17 year-old starlet A*M*E* on singing duties, this has classic house all over it. Co-written by teenage wonder-kid and Alfitude favourite MNEK (who recently sung on Rudimental’s ‘Spoons’ with Syron) the Duke will release ‘Need U (100%)’ on his newly minted Blasé Boys Club label.

Interview: Quickfire with MNEK

You probably know who MNEK is by now, I’ve mentioned him on here a couple of times because he’s pretty awesome. He’s basically like a pop child prodigy. I had the opportunity to shoot some questions at him, and he had the opportunity to shoot some answers back…

How’s the response been to your new single?
Good, thankfully. I got mistaken for Paije Richardson again, though.

I was 9.

How did you end up working with the Saturdays on ‘All Fired Up’?
Two words. Brian Higgins.


Are you writing stuff for any other stars?

First Watch: MNEK ‘If Truth Be Told’

I’ve been a bit obsessed with MNEK for a while now. Anyway, this song is not new, but it’s been reworked and is getting a proper release that an amazing tune like this deserves. He’s also co-written current crazy hit ‘All Fired Up’ by The Saturdays which is top 10 in the UK charts at the moment.

You know what I like about him? He puts enough fun in his pop without it sounding like something out of a CBeebies show. Check him out!

New Music: MNEK

Before I ran this blog, I shared one with my ex-wifey called Baby Sonic Trap. It didn’t last very long. Anyway, Mnek was one of the artists I featured on that old blog, and I kind of forgot about it for a while but his song, ‘If Truth Be Told’ came on my iTouch yesterday and I remembered just how fun this guy is. He’s only a teenager- something like 15 or 16 maybe? But so so good! Check out here.
