Now that Gabriella Cilmi is 18, she’s ready to sex things up. And the message is clear, Gabriella is a woman on a mission. Check out a preview of her new single and some new promotional photos.

Gabriella has once more teamed up with Xenomania on her forthcoming album, but also had help from Greg Kurstin (Lily Allen, Kylie Minogue, Little Boots, Ke$ha). The album is said to be heavily influenced by the 70s and 80s, taking inspiration from Blondie, Donna Summer and Flashdance. Could she be a new gay icon in the making? If you’re not sure, listen to the Wideboys remix of ‘I’m On a Mission‘.

Gabriella Cilmi: On A Mission (video premiere)

If you were wondering whether Gabriella Cilmi’s return would live up to the hoo-ha we made yesterday, we strongly advise you to watch her video to new single ‘On A Mission‘. Visually she’s mixing up Kylie, Little Boots and Barbarella while a stomping disco backing helps turn the whole thing into one stupendous explosion of fun.

Based on this new song and video, we expect Gabi has a lot to look forward to in 2010.
