MNEK told the PA News Agency about working with Little Mix, “In this instance the girls have really been in the driver’s seat and so everything on this album as far as – there is an A&R at RCA – but it’s now going through them. Because by album six they want to have a stronger say at how these songs end up. It’s been very that, it’s been them steering the wheel this time.” – Yahoo News
The Grammy nominated South Londoner who has also recently released the dance track, ‘More Than Words,’ with Sleepwalkr talked about the affect lockdown has had on the album saying,
“Literally the day I was supposed to go into the studio with the girls to do the last bits of recording I had to cancel a session because of lockdown things. But otherwise, doing the finishing touches of the album has been cool and has been great. I love working with the girls and I am all for them being the best that they can be and applying themselves whenever they come to the studio.” -Evening Express
Not only has MNEK worked on the recent chart topping dance hit with Joel Corry, ‘Head in my Heart,’ but also the successful track, ‘More Than Words,’ with Sleepwalkr’s which gained more than 500,000 Spotify streams in the first week. The music video shot by Michael Baldwin, features a deaf dance troupe’s expressive routine.
When asked about the video he said that he, “I really hope that people watch the video and know what we were trying to do with it. Hopefully it elevates the song to where it needs to be. It was actually really interesting to see dancing from that perspective and to see how they would take in information on how to improve their performances. The director would say something and then it would be translated to sign language so they could know it. That was an interesting process to watch.”- Evening Express
He praises the girl band’s recent tv talent show to Yahoo News saying, “I am glad that this show is happening. I like that the public get to see what we, as collaborators of theirs, get to see their personalities and just their bluntness, their humour, their goofiness. All of their best qualities as people are being shown on this show.”
Their is no doubt that ‘Little Mix’s’ next album will be a huge hit following their recent successful single releases as, ‘Holiday,’ ‘Break Up Song’ and their current release, ‘Not a Pop Song.’ There is no doubt their new album is set to be another chart topping hit.
