The music industry can be a harsh world, Jade learned at a young age as part of girl group Little Mix. Certainly for women, the singer thinks. Her own experiences with this are discussed several times on her debut album That’s Showbiz Baby .
Jade did not have a magazine last summer on her debut single Angel of My Dreams . The 32-year-old artist sings in the song about how she was mainly seen as an object where money can be earned. She indirectly paid for the expensive cars, suits and dinners of the record bosses who exploit their artists and put them aside if they no longer deliver enough.
On one of the next Singles It Girl, she adds a little extra with texts about objectifying women and the strangulation contracts that artists are presented. Not a careful start to her solo career.
“This is my story, you know,” Jade tells Nu.nl. “It felt good to tell my side with these songs, from when I was eighteen years old until now. I want to be completely honest about my experiences and turn it into pop hits.”
Jade believes that something has improved in the position of female artists, also due to the arrival of social media. She quotes the example of Raye, who also wrote to Jade’s album. Raye spoke out via social media about a contract that she wanted to get away from, after which the fans immediately encouraged her. Since then she has been releasing music independently.
“We now have a platform to speak out, but there is still a long way to go. I still see a lot of misogyny (women’s hatred, ed.) And sexism in the music industry. But at the same time almost all the big artists of the moment are women. Look at Charli XCX, Chappell Roan and Sabrina Carpenter. The Girlies are winning!”

Fans were worried if album was coming
Jade’s debut album appears this week, more than a year after Angel of My Dreams . Fans on social media were already worried and doubted whether the album would be released at all. But Jade didn’t want to rush anything.

“My solo career really felt like a new beginning. After more than ten years I had to learn how I do this without the other girls. I wanted to find out who I am and what my sound is.

For the chorus of Before You Break My Heart we used a video of how I sing that song as a child. That is the voice you hear. I see that song as a love letter to my younger self, not to forget.”
Jade is not the only Little Mix member who works on a solo career. Perrie will also release her debut album later this month and Leigh-Anne shared two new singles in recent weeks. “We have agreed to take each other into account, not to get in each other’s way. We are not waiting for comparisons or a battle in terms of sale. But unfortunately you cannot escape that, because some media and fans do zoom in on it.”
“We are very different artists with other types of music. If I was a fan of Little Mix, I would just like it. We are like the PowerPuff Girls. We all have our own thing. And in the end we will come together again.”
