UK pop sensation Little Mix have announced that their sixth studio album will be out on 6th November – just two months away. Fans were not prepared for the announcement, but were excited to hear more new music from the girlband, and some had even predicted the album title correctly, as the group revealed that it is ‘Confetti’.
After hinting this morning with an incredible ‘easter egg’ filled video on social media, Little Mix finally were able to tell everything to their fans. They wrote: “We are sooo happy to share this news with you guys…So much love, emotion and energy has gone into the making of this record and now the news is out we can finally get excited about it with you!!”
The album is available to pre-order now, and will include the band’s most recent singles ‘Holiday’ and ‘Break Up Song’. No other tracks have been confirmed, apart from a title track, which is likely to be the next release. After their initial post, Little Mix shared a video clip with music in the background, which their followers are hoping is a teaser for the single ‘Confetti’. The track appears very different from the two songs released so far; it is much slower paced and softer, offering a sensual sound with R&B influence.
This announcement follows yesterday’s performance in the BBC Radio 1 Live Lounge, in which the group played an acoustic version of ‘Holiday’, and an ethereal cover of Harry Styles’ ‘Falling’. The fan reaction was incredible, and they all took to Twitter to show their support.
Little Mix formed in 2011 when the four members all auditioned for The X Factor as soloists and were asked to return as a group. They went on to win and sign to Simon Cowell’s label Syco, releasing five albums before signing with RCA Records. The band have won two Brit Awards and done a lot of work to combat cyber-bullying, support women’s and LGBTQ+ rights, along with supporting many charities and organisations.
