It's no secret that MNEK is one of the most talented people in pop. From his production and writing credits ('Hold Up', 'Touch') to his own music ('Paradise', 'Never Forget You'), he never fails to craft amazing songs that change the landscape of the charts.

Last night MNEK released his brand new single 'Tongue' and it is nothing short of sublime. We are obsessed.

'WATCH MNEK'S STUNNING 'PARADISE' VIDEO HERE...'

The 'You Don't Know Me' co-writer began teasing the new single with tongue emojis last Friday and announced on Twitter yesterday that Annie Mac would premiere it as her Hottest Record last night. Since then we've not been able to take it off of repeat.

'Tongue' is a gorgeous slice of sexy, pop magic that somehow sounds both current and like nothing else out today. From the spoken word chorus and the ad-libs to waythat the production builds and the 'licky you, licky me, licky la-la-la' hook, it's perfect.

It's MNEK's most confident release to date and it goes off in every single way. We couldn't love it any more.

Speaking to Annie Mac about 'Tongue', MNEK said: "I think this song more than ever I'm having fun".

He then went on to speak about his new album and what we can expect from it. "The album I'm a lotmore freeand a lot more aware of what I wanna say and I wanna do." Annie also got him to confirm that it will be out this year and we are so excited.

'Tongue' is such a brilliant song and we can only imagine how excellent the entire LP is going to be.

Fingers crossed that the record comes out in time for us to enjoy it all summer long.

We've been waiting for this album for years and we know that it will not disappoint.
