Jade Thirlwall once again teases fans from the studio 🙌
When will the music arrive?!
Last updated 13th May 2024
Little Mix started their hiatus back in May 2022, and since then, fans of Leigh-Anne Pinnock, Perrie Edwards and Jade Thirlwall have been calling out for their solo music.
While Leigh-Anne has released songs including 'Don't Say Love' and 'My Love', and Perrie has released her debut solo song 'Forget About Us' co-written by Ed Sheeran, Jade has been pretty quiet so far... But now she's got fans excited by sharing a new update from the studio.
A couple of months after she last shared an update from the studio, she took to Instagram to tell her fans: 'I’m working laaaaate cos I’m a singer'. (sic) In the photo dump of pics and videos, which are very varied, Jade can be seen wearing some headphones, sitting on a tube, and singing in a mirror-selfie video in front of some bunk beds.
While Jade has yet to confirm when we'll hear some new music, her former bandmate Leigh-Anne commented: 'Drop the album already', and a fan wrote: 'Jade, when's the new music coming?'. Another said: 'CANT WAIT FOR YOUR SOLO!!!' (sic)
This most recent post follows a photo dump back in March, which included a video of Jade posing next to the microphone in a recording studio. Although there was no sound in the short clip, fans were quick to share their excitement over the possibility of solo music from Jade in the comments section.
One person wrote: 'she's in the booth nobody panic !!' Another fan said: 'we NEED that second clip unmuted.' Someone else commented: 'can't wait to see your debut single', whilst one person said: 'patiently waiting for music'. (sic)
This came after Jade previously shared a blurred photo to her Instagram Stories, writing on the photo 'proof for the fans that I'm in the studio finishing songs not just doing tik toks dw teehe'. (sic)
Meanwhile, back in November Jade shared a series of pics to her 10 million followers as she told her fans: 'Ayeayeayeaye'. (sic) One photo showed Jade standing in front of a bookshelf with several awards, including BRITs and MTV Awards, whilst another photo showed her wearing headphones as she stood in what looked like a studio, with a microphone in front of her.
The others photos featured the singer's boyfriend Rizzle Kicks star Jordan Stephenson and her mum Norma.
At the time, fans were quick to call out for more information on Jade's solo music, with one writing: 'WE WANT MUSIC!!!!', and another commenting: 'We need the album Jade ❤️'.
Although Jade hasn't released any more details about her new music, other than saying she's 'finishing songs', however previous rumours have surrounded her working with Jax Jones. Jax previously said: "I was in the studio with Jade and she is mega-cool and super-talented. She is also such fun to be around.
"We wrote something really cool so hopefully that can come out too."
Back in 2021, the pair were snapped in a recording studio together, and Jade told us: "We just had a cheeky session a while back, I still haven't even heard the song to be honest, but I know it's a good'en, whatever we wrote together."
When is Jade Thirlwall releasing new music?
Jade has not yet announced when she will be releasing new music.
Take a look through Jade Thirlwall's career:
2008 - Jade's first audition on The X Factor
Jade first auditioned on The X Factor back in 2008 at the age of just 15.

It was third time lucky for Jade as she won The X Factor as part of Little Mix. It wasn't an easy ride though as she failed the first bootcamp challenge to get through to the girls category.
Luckily for Jade she was brought back as part of a three-piece group along with Leigh-Anne Pinnock, with Perrie Edwards and Jesy Nelson in another group. Despite both groups being eliminated from the competition, it was decided that the four girls would be brought back as a group, who went on to win the competition. And as they say, the rest is history.
