What a breakout year! The emerging singer Mimi Webb<\/strong> was one of the biggest artists to break through in 2021. Soon after becoming enthralled with her striking track “Reasons<\/a><\/strong>“, early in the year. I switched onto Mimi faster than I ever did with anyone else before. Her captivating and unique, smoky voice had me spellbound from the offset. While everyone else was waxing lyrical about Olivia Rodrigo<\/strong> and Tate McRae<\/strong>, I stuck firm with and remained captivated by Mimi Webb. In particular, after dropping the track “Good Without<\/a><\/strong>,” that solidified her status as one-to-watch.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

After snatching third place on the BBC Radio 1’s Sound Of 2022<\/strong> poll, Mimi follows up the success with the explosive Cirkut<\/strong> produced offering “House On Fire<\/strong>“. Mimi’s debut EP, “Seven Shades Of Heartbreak<\/strong>“, was great. But I am relieved she is moving away from breakup songs for fear of becoming a stereotype. It is a good time to switch to empowering pop anthems, as these are also a good fit for Mimi. She has the right kind of vocal command, almost divaesque, to pull these types of songs off.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Her glowing performance on “House On Fire<\/strong>” is undeniable. Every word she sings is utterly effervescent, but when arriving at the chorus section, Mimi sets the whole thing alight with her sassy allure and altogether cheekier outlook. I appreciate this new mood from Mimi a lot, and I hope she will bring me more of it throughout 2022. I am ready!<\/p>\n\n\n\n\"Listen<\/a>\n\n\n\n
