UPDATE: Pop sensation JADE is set to make her mark as a solo artist with her highly anticipated debut album, That’s Showbiz Baby!, releasing on September 12, 2025, under Sony Music U.K. and RCA Records. After over a decade with the successful girl group Little Mix, JADE is ready to unveil her personal truth to the world.
JADE, who has graced enormous stages with Little Mix, is now gearing up for her first solo festival performances at major U.K. events like Glastonbury and Mighty Hoopla. Reflecting on her journey, the 32-year-old artist shared, “When I first started rehearsing, I was like, ‘Oh, s–t. I actually have to sing the whole of every song.’”
The album features 14 tracks, showcasing JADE’s diverse musical influences and vocal prowess. Her debut single, “Angel of My Dreams,” released last year, became a top 10 hit in the U.K., while her promotional track, “IT girl,” explicitly expresses her struggles within the music industry. “We all know what it’s about,” JADE remarked, emphasizing the need to address her past experiences openly.
JADE’s journey of self-discovery began after Little Mix’s hiatus in 2022. “Part of me was conditioned to be on this hamster wheel with the group,” she noted, highlighting the importance of taking time to understand her identity as an artist. Collaborating with producers like Cirkut and Mike Sabath, she has successfully blended her experiences with a unique sound, drawing inspiration from icons such as Madonna and Janet Jackson.
The album promises a mix of pop experimentation and emotional depth, with standout tracks like “Unconditional,” described as “Donna Summer meets MGMT.” Dedicated to her mother, who has faced health challenges, the song reflects JADE’s personal growth and ambition.
Following a series of festival appearances this summer, JADE will embark on her first headlining tour across Ireland and the United Kingdom starting in October. She aims to redefine her identity beyond being “Jade from Little Mix” and is encouraged by the positive reception from fans at recent festivals.
“Performing songs that I’ve written from my personal experiences has been a revelation,” she expressed, confirming her commitment to authenticity as a solo artist.
This album is just the beginning, as JADE already has plans for her second album, with aspirations to expand her reach beyond the U.K. After years of dedication in a girl group, she is determined to prioritize originality and authenticity in her music.
“I live and breathe pop music,” she said, “I can’t imagine doing anything else.”
As this exciting chapter begins, fans eagerly await the release of That’s Showbiz Baby!, marking a significant milestone in JADE’s career. Stay tuned for more updates as she sets out to conquer the music world on her own terms.
