In 2021, Little Mix announced they would be going on hiatus to focus on solo projects. The latest Mixer to enter the studio is Perrie Edwards. She’s been creating her solo debut in the studio working with songwriter Kamille, and producers Fred Again and Steve Mac. In an interview with OfficialCharts.com, Kamille gave fans an insight as to what they can expect from the singer.
Asked about Perrie’s solo sound she said “I couldn’t even pinpoint it, but just know it’s going to blow everyone’s minds.” “There’s so many things that they’re interested in, I couldn’t pinpoint it to one thing. The best thing right now is that we’re having fun discovering.” She also alluded to Perrie taking on a different sound to what she was used to when in Little Mix, “Hearing their voices on stuff you wouldn’t typically hear it on is just sending me.” she said, “It’s so, so exciting for me. Can you imagine, as someone who’s used to just one thing with them?”
Kamille has been regularly involved with Little Mix over the years and has built up a strong bond with the girls. She went on to say that Perrie was “worried and insecure” about having her vocals on a solo record without the sounds of her fellow bandmates, but Kamille assured fans that Edwards is “incredible. She doesn’t even know how good she is, and that’s one of the most beautiful things about Perrie; she’s so humble.”
Perrie Edwards shot to fame on the reality tv show, The X Factor. She was put into the girl group Little Mix alongside Jesy Nelson, Leigh-Anne Pinnock and Jade Thirlwall. The group became one of the most successful acts in the history of the show achieving five number-one singles on the UK Singles Chart along with six studio albums, five of which have been certified Platinum. In 2021 they spent 100 combined weeks inside the top ten of the UK Singles Chart and became the first girl group to achieve such a feat.
Since going solo, the girls have maintained support for each other and promised fans that this isn’t the end for Little Mix, only a break. They plan on supporting each other’s solo endeavours until we get a Little Mix comeback. Perrie said “We’ve all said we will let each other know when we’re going to release so we don’t end up clashing in the charts. We’re rooting for each other, not competing against each other.”
