Little Mix’s Jade Thirlwall has well and truly kickstarted her solo career - from a debut album release date and tracklist to collaborations, here’s what we know so far.
Little Mix’s band hiatus began back in 2021, giving the girls a break to focus on their solo careers. And focus they have, with Leigh-Anne already treating fans to an EP, Perrie Edwards releasing singles like 'Forget About Us' and 'Tears', all eyes are on Jade Thirlwall, now known just as 'Jade'.
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 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', disco banger 'Fantasy', and 'IT Girl'. But she's not finishing there, she is constantly teasing new music.
So when is Jade's next single coming out? Is she making an album? Here’s what we know...
Yes, Jade is working on her debut solo album, which will consist of songs she's already dropped like 'Angel of My Dreams', 'Fantasy', 'Midnight Cowboy' and 'IT Girl'.
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 'IT Girl', formerly titled 'That's Showbiz, Baby' dropped on 10th January.
Jade changed the name of her 2025 single after fans began referring to it as 'IT Girl'.
When she asked fans to pre-save the single, she announced on X: "Everyone referring to this track as IT girl may or may not have made me change the name."
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.
Asked if an album is coming, she said: "Yes, definitely an album coming." She was then asked if it would be released next year, to which she replied: "100 per cent."
March 14th! Jade has announced that 'FUFN' (F--- You For Now) is coming midway through March.
After an epic BRITs night, winning her first solo BRIT and performing, Jade told Capital: "FUFN, it's ready to go. I was just waiting for this night, I didn't want FUFN to be over shadowed by the BRITs."
She teased the song a month prior (on 12th February) in a campaign with Fendi. In 2025, Fendi had Jade front their campaign for their newly revamped Mamma Baguette, which was revealed on the spring/summer 2025 runway.
She attended the show and of course served looks but little did we know, she was set to be the face of Fendi soon after.
In the campaign video Jade is seen getting out of a car then getting glam backstage before she enters on stage, takes a mic out from inside the bag and sings: "F--- you for now"
Jade's debut solo single 'Angel Of My Dreams' came out on Friday 19th July, with 'Midnight Cowboy' and 'Fantasy' following in the latter part of 2024.
'AOMD' which was described as a 'shape-shifting banger' explored her love/hate relationship with the pop industry she's been at the heart of since her former band Little Mix launched in 2011.
Jade co-wrote 'Angel of My Dreams' in LA alongside Steph Jones (who worked on Sabrina Carpenter's 'Espresso'), Pablo Bowman (Calvin Harris' 'Miracle') and producer Mike Sabbath, who's worked with RAYE.
The pop star began working on her solo career shortly after Little Mix went on hiatus, having studio sessions with collaborators including; MNEK, Cirkut, Lostboy, RAYE, Lauren Aquilina and Dave Hamelin alongside Mike, Steph and Pablo.
