Perrie is asked if there’s a “competitive” nature to Little Mix’s solo careers:
“Not between us. We love each other so much. If I see the girls doing well, I feel like I'm winning because I love them that much. Whereas everybody else compares us all the time. It is draining.”
Perrie shares the best advice RAYE gave her when they worked together:
“We wrote a song together, and the label and everyone was like, ‘That line sticks out. It’s a bit odd.’ Then RAYE messaged me, ‘Babe, that’s a good thing! So please don’t change it.’”
JADE’s makeup artist Byron revealed her makeup look for her Tiny Desk Concert performance was a reference to JADE’s Yemeni heritage:
“The markings on the cheek are used to confuse the evil eye and ward off bad energy.”
JADE will be honoured with the Best Female Award at the O2 Silver Clef Awards, set to take place at the Royal Albert Hall this July.
The annual event helps raise money for Nordoff and Robbins, the UK’s largest music therapy charity: https://t.co/h0jrh8LqQS
JADE said: “I’m truly honoured to win this award. I’ve always believed in using my voice for good in both my music and beyond. It means the world to me to be recognised by Nordoff and Robbins. They do such incredible work using the power of music to bring comfort, connection and joy to people.”
Track 9 - Me minus U
I love this song and I’ve held it close ever since we started it.
I had the title Me Minus U, and wanted a song to show that no matter what you go through with someone. To be without them means nothing, but together it just makes sense ❤️
Track 8 - Best Version Of Me
This one is about my mental health when we left Little Mix and went solo. I felt like there were so many expectations on us to follow on from the groups success.
This industry can really break someone but I’ve spent the last couple of years…
