Mnek: "Devil In Pumps"
Yes, I thought this was Gary Coleman's new thing at first too...but it's not. Mnek is an artist from across the pond making electro pop tunes, and get this, the kid can't even drive yet. The 14 year old was recently featured in the Fader's weekly look at English artists and the kid had this to say about his work,
"Music is my vocation, I was born to do it. I won't bullshit and say, you know, I'm just doing it cos it's the "in thing," I genuinely love music. What I do is POP, bits of electro, bits of funk, bits of soul, but overall pop music."
Only 14...Check out "Devil In Pumps" and "Nose Job" below.
