Initially Jade kept her cards close to her chest after announcing back in 2022 that she had signed a solo artist deal with RCA Records.
A year later in November 2023, Jade finally gifted her fans with a cheeky hint at what she’d been up to and fast forward to June 2024 and she finally announced her debut single, 'Angel of My Dreams'.
Now we've had 'Angel of My Dreams', her IG (Instant Gratification) track 'Midnight Cowboy' and disco banger 'Fantasy', 'IT Girl' is the next single from Jade.

Towards the end of March 2024, Jade took to her Instagram to post a dump of photos and videos of her life. Amongst the cute selfies and the adorable animals, she slid a cheeky video of herself in the recording studio.
The video itself had no sound but even soundless, the video had fans SUPER excited for her debut record.
Since then she's dropped her first single 'Angel Of My Dreams', her IG track 'Midnight Cowboy', and has confirmed 'IT Girl', formerly titled 'That's Showbiz, Baby' will come out on 10th January.

When is Jade's album coming out?
There's no official release date for Jade's debut solo album just yet, but she confirmed to Portugese publication POPLine last year that her album will come out this year, in 2025.
