WHAT IT IS: Hailing from Kent, England, 20-year-old Mimi Webb grew up to the soundtrack of British powerhouses like Adele and Amy Winehouse. Last April, Webb’s single, “Before I Go,” blew up on TikTok thanks to a video from Charli D’Amelio and reached 20m global streams. At the top of 2021, Webb dropped “Reasons” and hit 8m global streams, setting the stage for her latest breakout single, “Good Without.” Released in March, the track has already garnered 8m+ global streams and has seen support on high-profile playlists including Spotify’s Today’s Top Hits (cover), the #2 spot on Pop Rising and Apple Music’s A-List Pop.
