JANUARY WRAPPED: Everything Little Mix Got Up To This Month
2023 got off to a great start for Little Mix, with their greatest hits album Between Us returning to the Top 20 for its 60th week in the UK charts. And it looks like it’s also set to be a great year for each group member individually, as Leigh-Anne Pinnock has started prepping fans to “get ready for one hell of a ride”.
We already know that Leigh-Anne signed to Warner Music UK in 2021, while Jade Thirlwall penned a deal with RCA Records in 2022. And now word on the street is that Perrie Edwards is in “advanced talks” to sign with Columbia Records.
Each of the Little Mix ladies appeared to be busy gearing up for their solo careers this month, with Jade sharing a glam snap to Instagram that she appears to have taken behind the scenes of a photo or video shoot. Also in the shot was her hair stylist Aaron Carlo, who worked with Little Mix for almost a decade.
Meanwhile, Jade’s bandmates Leigh and Perrie have both been seen hard at work in the studio.
Leigh-Anne shared on social media that she’s been “cooking up a storm”, while Perrie was photographed with prolific hitmakers Mark Ralph and Ina Wroldsen, as well as Little Mix collaborator Kamille (the mastermind behind many of the group's biggest singles).
LeeLee might have even over-shared, as she quickly posted and deleted a short clip from the studio featuring her (heavenly) vocals. She later laughed off the situation with fans, admitting that the post was an “accident”:
“I panicked and deleted! Then re-listened and realised it didn’t give much away 🤣🤣🤣” Phew!
Leigh has now jetted off to L.A. to record more music and attend some work meetings, promising fans: "This is gonna be such an amazing year. I think y’all gon’ love it."
Jade has also been clocking up the air miles, having just got back from a restful vacation in Mexico. Could she have been getting some R&R in before the hustling begins?
So when can we expect new music?
Jade and Leigh-Anne have both teased that solo material will be coming “soon”, though Leigh added that she won’t be “rushing anything” because “it has to be perfect”. She promised that an album is in the works, but a release date is yet to be decided.
Kamille also told fans to prepare for new Perrie music “soon”, confirming that an album from the singer is “en route”.
And when questioned about Little Mix’s solo music on the red carpet in 2022, the group’s long-time collaborator MNEK teased: “We shall see next year…”
Other ventures
Outside of music, Leigh-Anne has been making moves in the property world, reportedly forking out £1 million on an old bicycle factory that she plans to transform into 48 flats.
She’s taking on the project with footballer fiancé Andre Gray, who co-owns the property firm G&A Organisations Ltd.
We wish the girls luck with their solo projects and can’t wait to see what 2023 has in store for them!
