Jade Thirlwall is set to make her solo debut with a potential collaboration with Grammy-winning South African sensation, Tyla.
The Little Mix hitmaker is expected to release her much-anticipated debut this summer. And it could feature a duet with the viral South African sensation Tyla, who bagged a Grammy before even releasing her own debut album.
An insider revealed: “Jade has taken her time with her new music because it’s important that her solo record stands out in a crowded market place. Her record label also wanted to avoid clashes with her bandmates’ releases and they agreed between them that Jade will release next.

“They are both signed to Sony and their respective A&Rs are trying to make it happen.” The 31-year-old has been honing her unique sound with renowned hitmakers such as RAYE, Jax Jones and Bastille’s Dan Smith.
While her first release remains a secret, she has registered a song titled Midget, co-written with Glasvegas frontman James Allan. Earlier this month, Jade was spotted filming what appeared to be a music video in Lewisham, South London.
The songstress was spotted in a striking blue coat, sunnies and a towering blonde wig. Passersby spotted her barging through throngs of fans, flinging cash into the air like there’s no tomorrow, all while being chased by a swarm of paps.

The star’s Little Mix pal Perrie Edwards has been dropping some juicy hints that Jade’s much-anticipated solo banger is just around the corner. While promoting her hit single Forget About Us, which was penned by none other than Ed Sheeran, Perrie said: “I know when Jade’s music is coming, so not to release anything, and vice versa.
“We do keep each other in the loop with that kind of thing.” It comes amid some sad news for her fellow bandmate Leigh-Anne Pinnock after it was reported that her full-length debut album might have been shelved until next year.
Her album may even be scrapped by her label, Warner Records, after it reportedly received a lukewarm response. Leigh-Anne was the second member of the Little Mix group to go solo after her estranged bandmate Jesy Nelson.
