So they eventually came back in summer 2012 with "Wings" - a song that truly spoke to who they were - and ended the year with the release of their debut album, DNA. However, the focus of this interview is speaking with the remaining members as they celebrate yet another milestone in their career.īut just where do you start when you’re interviewing a band who have been together for a decade and enjoyed success most people can only dream of? Well, from the beginning of course…Īfter becoming the first band to win The X Factor UK back in 2011, Little Mix were given a debut single that wasn't hugely representative of their style. Back in 2020, Jesy Nelson announced her departure from Little Mix, citing mental health reasons. One thing that has changed is the make-up of the group itself. The legacy of Little Mix continues to take form, its magic enduring and its longevity undeniable. Combined, the tracklist has been streamed more than 3.5 billion times on Spotify. 1 hits, 10 top 5 singles, and 16 songs that landed in the top 10. The standard edition of Between Us, due for release on November 12, boasts four No. We’ve really done the damn thing.’”Īnd it’s impossible to argue with that. "But when you actually have to sit down and look at all the tracks and listen to them all for the first time in a while, I was like, ‘Oh, wow, we’ve really done it. "When you're in this industry, every year you do a cycle, you get through it, blah, blah, blah," Jade says. But with hits spanning a decade, it must have been quite the ride reminiscing to choose which songs would make it onto Between Us, the band's upcoming greatest hits album that also offers five new tracks.
“I know, she’s bop after bop,” Jade, 28, says. Leigh-Anne Pinnock is off camera tending to her newborn twins when our call starts, while fellow new mom Perrie Edwards is running slightly late, which gives me the perfect opportunity to chew Jade’s ear off about their iconic back catalog before we begin. This is how I find myself on a Friday afternoon in October, wearing a “Wasabi” hoodie and telling Jade Thirlwall for the umpteenth time that Little Mix have only ever served us bangers in the 10 years they’ve been together. The only way it could be made any better, in fact, is by discussing said discography with the women who sang those songs in the first place. As Friday activities go, dissecting the titanic discography of one of the greatest and most successful girl bands in the world is definitely up there with the best.
