Jade Thirlwall’s Shocking Confession: ‘Lost’ After Little Mix Split

BBG News

Jade Thirlwall candidly discussed her emotions related to Little Mix‘s break and her journey into a solo career, sharing that it took some time for her to adapt to working independently.

This year-old artist kick-started her solo venture during the previous summer with her first single, “Angel of My Dreams.” The song climbed to the top 10 on the UK charts and just received the accolade of Best Pop Act at this season’s BRIT Awards.

At the moment, she’s busy creating her initial standalone album. This comes after her group Little Mix, which includes members Perrie Edwards, Leigh-Anne Pinnock, and herself, declared a break in 2022.

Even though she achieved a lot of success, Jade confessed in her foodie podcast, Dish from Waitrose, that it required considerable effort for her to become self-reliant and appreciate the freedom to make her own choices – something she experienced for the very first time.

In conversation with Nick Grimshaw and Angela Hartnett, she confessed that she didn’t experience liberation immediately following the band’s separation, as she had cherished her time in the group. It was similar to the end of a meaningful relationship, where the abruptness left her feeling disoriented.

Jade openly admitted that, due to being accustomed to others making choices for her, she needed time to adjust to living independently.

She shared: ‘Indeed, our last performance was in 2022? After the show, I can recall returning to my apartment that night, and then the following morning, I awoke and opened my calendar for the first time in eleven years, only to find it completely empty.’

‘Also, the circular pattern that developed in my life because it seemed as if everything had been predetermined for many years.’

She added: ‘Given how accustomed I became to it shaping my existence, and the fact that I was programmed to follow orders about when and where I go, it feels quite natural to me.’

Isn’t it challenging, though, since when you cherish it equally, as in our case, it wasn’t about animosity leading to a separation. Instead, we decided to take a break while things were going exceptionally well between us. We continued to admire one another deeply.

It seemed like the perfect moment for action. However, it felt as though we were in a partnership that had unexpectedly come to an end – we were no longer connected.

After needing to adapt to living independently, I found myself asking questions like, “What are my desires now? Which musical directions do I prefer? Who am I when I’m alone?

Jade shared that once she started selecting her team members and composing songs based on her own life events, she finally experienced the long-awaited feeling of liberation.

Reflecting back, I jet-setted to L.A., seeking a fresh squad. It filled me with immense pride to have taken this step, as perhaps you’re aware, when we were initially signed to the team, we didn’t truly have a choice. Being so young and participating in X Factor meant swiftly signing here, there, and everywhere.

To ensure that my individual voyage was tailored to my preferences, I carefully selected only those individuals I desired as part of my team, taking every aspect into account.

Then, I found myself pouring out words endlessly. The more I penned down, the freer I felt, as if saying, “Wow, I can express my own life stories.” Now, I’m utterly smitten with it.

Occasionally, there are instances that remind me of certain events, such as when I attended the BRIT Awards, where I entered a room alone for the first time, and it felt like “Wow, this is really terrifying.” This was because we had grown accustomed to being together, and doing press conferences on my own feels strange.

As I embarked on this new chapter of my life, I found myself reflecting on the overwhelming support I’ve received from my dedicated Little Mix fans. They’ve been an unwavering source of encouragement, pushing me forward even when some critics dismissed us. Their belief in me has truly been a beacon of light in my journey.

She expressed: “I’ve undeniably experienced the affection from others. It’s something that was also true for the Little Mix group members, I believe; we might have been underestimated at the start of our X Factor journey.

Firstly, our performance surpassed predictions, and we excelled from there on. Furthermore, similar to an underdog in the music industry, we consistently had to prove ourselves to others that we deserved a lasting presence as a girl band.

Over time, it seems our fanbase has consistently supported and cheered for us, hoping for our success. This sentiment has resonated with me personally as well, creating a truly heartwarming experience.

It seems clear to others that we’re just ordinary girls, striving for success and aiming to transform our lives, and indeed, we have managed to achieve this.

Even though Jade achieved worldwide fame, she emphasized the importance of maintaining humility by keeping the right company – her family, friends, and boyfriend Jordan Stephens.

As a lifestyle enthusiast, I prioritize spending time with my loved ones, maintaining a down-to-earth attitude. My mom is always quick to keep me grounded should I ever lose touch with reality.

However, it’s crucial for you to have that. Having it nearby is important. With my years of experience in this field, I’ve noticed it frequently. It can be challenging to remain unaltered when one is constantly surrounded by flattery.

In this version, I aimed to maintain the original meaning while using a more natural and less colloquial language.

‘I’ve been very careful about the individuals we surround ourselves with. I believe people appreciate my boldness in taking action. In essence, if I decide to take on something, I might as well give it my everything.’

As a lifestyle enthusiast, I’ve been eager to share some insights following my recent interview with Puss Puss Magazine earlier this month. In the conversation, I opened up about an incredible transformation that occurred when I turned thirty years old – a weight was literally lifted off my shoulders! This podcast is a continuation of that discussion, diving deeper into the journey of self-discovery and personal growth that began at that pivotal moment in my life. Tune in to hear more about how turning 30 became a turning point for me, and perhaps find some inspiration for your own transformation journey.

The musician shared insights on how working on her forthcoming solo project allowed her to rediscover herself.

She conveyed that the album serves as a summary of everything she’s longed to express throughout the years. Her intention for the album was to make it sound as if she’s discovering herself anew, and audibly, she believes you can sense that in its sound.

I felt it important to share the journey behind this album with the audience, as it truly reflects the process – discovering my unique musical identity.

At the very moment I turned thirty, it felt like a burden had been removed from me, causing me to worry less about others’ opinions.

It’s fortunate since, being alone now, I expect increased attention and a closer examination, as if under a magnifying glass.

It seems that others may anticipate me to retain the appearance of the 20-year-old woman I once was, however, it’s clear that my body has evolved over time.

I’m absolutely eager for my album to be released, as it means I can perform live shows this year and attend several upcoming festivals. It’s been a while since I’ve been on stage, and I’m longing for the day my album is out there so I can dive back into songwriting.

Last month saw the star release another new dramatic track, called FUFN (F**k You For Now).

Composed by Jade, featuring music artist RAYE and Dave Hamelin, and co-produced by Lostboy, she delivers the lines: ‘Don’t you tell me to be still or quiet.’

The tune was hinted within the latest Fendi advertising venture for their Mamma Baguette handbag, where Jade takes center stage.

She explained the significance of the melody as follows: ‘The song FUFN represents a heated argument we’re all familiar with, understanding that it’s not the final chapter, but experiencing the raw intensity of anger in the heat of the moment.’

‘It’s the channelling of female rage into a bada** big pop banger.’

The first solo release by the artist, titled “Angel Of My Dreams,” has enjoyed massive popularity across various platforms, amassing more than 100 million listens so far.

Last year, a British artist’s song debuted at the seventh spot on the UK Official Singles Chart, which was the third highest new entry by a British artist during that period.

Since then she has followed it up with tracks Midnight Cowboy, Fantasy, IT Girl and FUFN.

She’s all prepared for her inaugural solo concert tour this fall, gracing medium-sized stages such as the Eventim Apollo in Hammersmith, West London, which can accommodate 3,600 audience members.
