Little Mix member Leigh-Anne Pinnock is shaping up to have a very successful solo career. She's been focused on showing her Carribean heritage and identity, and her own creative freedom, in a way she previously couldn't while in her group. Leigh-Anne discusses this in her documentary, Race, Pop & Power. Again, Leigh-Anne got to express her struggles as a pop star, but in a fictional way, when she voiced Ariel in an Audible adaptation of The Little Mermaid. This summer, Leigh-Anne released her first two singles, Don't Say Love and My Love (ft. Ayra Starr). Both have been received warmly so far, and have made fans eager for her debut album. Leigh-Anne has said it'll contain some R&B, afrobeats, and reggae, and that's she's working with producers like Darkchild and Danja.

little mix is still so underrated, their vocals, coreo, stage presence, music, everything was SO GOOD
“Underrated” they’ve had countless hits and all of their albums got critical acclaim lol what are you talking about ?
@@roviize9425 wow relax they are still underrated to me and many people bc of how talented they are, they deserve even more imo
there are a lot of people who to this day don't know who LM are and they didn't have a HUGE break in the US
i'm seeing that they are taking it very easy with her building a persona, an hype for her debut album and not simply investing everything in the debut single and hoping for the best. her team is doing their job for sure. wishing success for her!
Leigh Anne has everything it takes to be a global star. She just needs to grow a new fan base because as she’s said herself most LM fans won’t support her solo career. She needs to get her name outside of the uk and just keep pushing . I think she was the second best vocalist of little and she is extremely versatile. I’m excited to see where she can go.
she’s actually killing it in terms of projects alongside her music. she’s deffo getting her name out there. I mean being on the cover of Rolling Stone (went viral on PopCrave), A video on Vogue YT . Just so much. It’s a shame that not all the mixers have supported her along the journey tho - that’s where DSL message comes in just showing that Leigh doesn’t want the mixers fake love (using her for hit tweets etc but not actually supporting her music.)
Leigh Anne was always going to have the hardest and we know why. She’s super talented.
I'm really loving her music so far. Don't Say Love is one of my favorite pop songs of this year. I hope her team doesn't mismanage her releases because she has the potential to be her own artist. She seems very passionate about it as well.
Same! She deserves to get to succeed on her own terms too!
One good thing about Warner is they have some patience with their artists. Like Dua Lipa didn't become a huge star overnight, her first 2 singles quite flopped and it was her 3rd or 4th single (Be The One) that was actually a breakthrough for her. Leigh-Anne said around release of Don't Say Love there are 3 singles prepared.
@@richmaxmchalliwchester1984 Ooh I had MTV back then and remember Dua Lipa was on 2015 MTV Push so I discovered her pretty early in her career. Actually her first single was Be The One but it got rereleased again when she gained more popularity (Blow Your Mind was her first hit if I'm not mistaken) and I was proud of her. Be The One still holds dear to my heart because that's how I found Dua Lipa!
I hope the same goes for Leigh-Anne even if it takes a few years for her to gain mainstream recognition.
I just really wish her team acc did their job n promoted her… thats the only thing thats missing for her to be succesful… shes got the voice, the choreo, the talent, the look… like all she needs is a team that does right by her bc we all know how ageist the industry is not to mention the sexism & the racism..
Hopefully she gets an EMA performance or BRITs or something… not sure if they started directly promoting her outside the UK yet
In the era of social media, it also seems that they feel old school promotion is no longer a thing.
If only they knew that's hurting artists, fans want tv shows, interviews, and old school promo, not just the ig or Apple music exclusive.
I know a lot of people my age and older who want a hard copy, but they feel left out of the consumer audience cos their not teens, etc.
@@robertprice4826 yeah I really hate that over here a lot of the modern “promotion” is just story posts and maybe a clip of them saying “my album is out go buy it” and that’s it
@@robertprice4826I agree with this so much! Of course people need to embrace modern promotion but some old school elements don’t hurt either.
It was always going to be harder for Leigh Anne she’s always been shunned but I actually like the approach her team is taking . They building a name for her as a solo artist.
It's so infuriating that people are not taking notice of Leigh. She's doing so well with her solo music. Her vocals her sound choreography and visuals is off the chain. Support our girl please. She's beautiful and talented. Im routing for her and I hope she achieves all her goals.
Her collaboration With ayra star called my love is a bop have blessed day everyone! ❤🎉
I'm massive fan of Little Mix and i'll keep support all my girls even in their solo careers. Leigh-Anne's debut is amazing. Both songs she released are bangers and i already can't wait for next single and the album. Mix of Pop, Garage, R&B, Reggae, Afrobeats and hopefully even little bit of Hip Hop suits her perfectly. I really couldn't be more proud of her and i'm proud to call myself a Legion (Leigh's fandom name). I'm so excited for Jade and Perrie's debuts as well.
It's sad Little Mix is on break but the good thing about it is we'll be getting 3x more music now.
I’m just so happy that her talent is finally getting noticed! Like sis has been working her butt off! I’m so proud of her 😭😭😭🤞🏾💕
Little mix are my favorite girl group from the younger generation and i wish all of the them the best. I like that she was inspired by Mariah Carey for the cover of her first solo single.
I wish I had gotten into them more when they were active!!
@@naomi.cannibal i think all of them are very talented and it was sad all the drama in the end with Jesy Nelson.
Actually she said the cover was completely not on purpose hahaha no one realized the similarities of it
@@dadg98ddg that’s a crazyyy coincidence I noticed it immediately. But if you’re gonna accidentally pay homage Mariah is a good choice lol
I love how hungry and passionate she is about getting herself out there as a soloist, and showing people who she really is. It’s definitely very inspiring. I also like that she’s not putting too much pressure on herself to be a chart topper and have all these big records, but I do think it will happen one day. She’s very talented, likeable, she’s working with great producers and she’ll collab with other people too and get her name out there more.
My Love is one of my favourite songs of the year, such an instant bop. Love the anthemic feel and as a Nigerian, I was so happy that she decided to go to Lagos and collaborate with Ayra 🫶🏾looking forward to her next projects!!
She was always my favourite member of Little Mix. They were all beautiful and talented girls but she stood out to me from the beginning.
As a group their music was really hit and miss for me. Some of their songs I really loved, but then some of them were not my thing at all.
So I'm looking forward to seeing what Jade, and Perrie do, as they both have amazing voices (Little Mix were *amazing* at singing harmonies), but I was so excited to hearing Leigh-Anne's solo work. Loving what she's released already and I'm really hoping for big things for her. IMO she has everything: she's multi-talented, fantastic vocals, stage presence, dancing, she's beautiful, and I love her styling.
She posted Vevo performances for Dont Say Love and My Love yesterday, they are AMAZING!!!
Yes!! I am so here for this video! As an American who just got into Little Mix two years ago, I wish they got the respect they deserved over here! They have so many bops it’s ridiculous! Leigh-Anne has always been my fav I really hope Leigh-Anne dominates as a solo star over here. Why didn’t they release Leigh-Anne’s song from Boxing Day?! I loved it
i've been listening to MY LOVE non-stop!!!
Girl same😂
@@jaytrek5938 it's soo good!!
knowing leigh anne's past, it shows how personal her music has been so far. she's been waiting for this moment💚 i only hope her promotion is not uk centered 😢 (mixers will understand)
leigh-anne has always been a fully realised artist from her talent, to her charisma, to her creative vision and i'm so glad she's finally getting the opportunity to showcase everything she has to offer and get the love and appreciation she's always deserved~
Leigh Anne has always the best of little mix to me, she gives me everything I want to hear from powerful ballads, soft buttery smooth vocals, flavorful r&b vocals to dancing like a pro. She was not respected in the group mostly because she was the black member let’s be honest, it’s like the Normani situation. She has already show she can stand on her own vocally and give hard choreography. She’s always been a powerhouse vocalist who never got her flowers for it but suddenly people are seeing it because their bias for other members aren’t there it’s just her. She’s the whole package vocally and performance wise. She has a chance to be big but it’s gonna be slow because mixers won’t support her as much as the others but that’s ok she’ll get there ❤️
Little Mix has always been underappreciated... their talent is insane! I've been a fan of theirs since their early days.
Leigh-Anne definitely has had an AMAZING solo debut, she deserves all the success in the world ❤
The only CZcamsr who isn’t trying to be shady when talking about little mix and including Jesy in the photos… I really wish Leigh Anne success and she becomes a hit in the USA
Dont say love was cute but My love is just EVERYTHING!! I loveee this new artistic direction shes taking in this direction, i think it suits her and is vastly different from little mix music (big mixer myself).
Also sza and leigh anne collab!?! I’ll fell on my knees ❤❤
You can tell that she’s hungry and has something to prove. Her debut shows the importance of having a solid team behind you to push you in the places and rooms you need to be.
She almost reminds me of Taylor with how you can feel/see the hunger she has to be sucks a solo artist and how she’s going and prostrating herself at all the right places (eg Rolling Stone, bloggers, music journalist CZcams HQ, etc.) to make sure she’s given airtime. I was even shocked to see her at the BET Awards. The one thing I wish is that the moves didn’t come off so calculated and noticeable.
I love how she's really putting her best foot forward and positioning herself by bringing quality with the visuals and work ethic.
She easily could have started out as just R&B this era, but she wants her flavours to pop out and be a fusion of sounds, so she doesn't get typically boxed.
Charting wise it can be risky as it's not an attack approach for number one uk singles chart, but what will happen is her global reach will widen and that part places her with a newer set of eyes for her artistry brand, then as that gathers more pace, the team can maybe focus on strategies on next singles prior to an album.
The choreography dances in my love are gaining a lot of attention because Leigh-Anne ATE it up in that video.
It may be an expensive roll out but she must keep up these standards, as I'm buzzing for her next phase 👏🏾🙌🏾⭐❤️
I 've always wondered if artists ever think about world domination lol, like creating music for almost everyone
I'm so excited for her debut. Leigh Anne has such a good pen. People don't know she can write songs
I got into little mix bc of Leigh-Anne, so I'm loving this and I'm so excited for her debut album
As a day one Little Mix fan, it's so insane and exciting that we get to see Leigh-Anne come into her own as a soloist.
I love how Leigh's solo career is shaping. Her team seems to be good and I think the way they are placing her and promoting her work and brand is very smart. Also she seems to be in a place artistically where she can experiment and try things while feeling safe to do so.
can’t wait to see her perform for the Halloween show!! flo as well my favsss
It’s wild how unknown they are in the US when they are so successful
The lead single was so damn catchy, I'm so desperate for some 90s/00s pop haha! I think they'll promote her like Cheryl Cole from Girl's Aloud was so I hope there are more tunes like that to come 🎶
"My love" is fire. The song issa vibe, the choreo is 🔥.
I actually at first thought she was th leader she stood out.
Leigh-Anne was always my favorite at first listen, Little Mix as a whole is underrated here in America unfortunately so I never had a chance to see them. But, I’m hoping to go see Leigh-Anne whenever I get a chance. I always felt like Leigh was overlooked and under appreciated in Little Mix as a whole so I’m so happy to see her full potential. My favorite one out of her two singles so far is My Love
I don't know anything about musical composition and songwriting, but the verse of her first single that says "Empty words, empty lies, entertainment" is so refreshing to me. It's three phrases, no verbs. I'm not english speaker native, so I don't really know if people really talk this way and if the verse is so appealing to me, I guess it's becasue I don't listen a lot like it in english. She's credited to have colaborated to write several songs since their debut album, which has given her experiencie and domain. I really like Little Mix's music, so I look forward to Perrick's upcoming project(s).
I love the way she's introduced herself musically, working on the visuals etc. things that they didn't really get to do in the group. On top of that, she's a great songwriter, Jade and her wrote most of their songs & to me that's a good thing because I know she's going to deliver on her album ! It's so cool to see her blossom outside of the group, I definitely think that Little Mix held them back from exploiting their full potential so I'm really excited. She's determined and working super hard to get where she wants to be and for that I am sooooo proud of her, especially as a mom of toddlers, it must take a lot to balance everything. She's here to stay for sure !!!🍀
Wishing her so much success, out of all of the LM girls I feel like she's the one with the most potential to become a name not just known within the UK. It will take time but I think she can do it, she's had no misses thus far and you can tell she's not desperate for a tiktok hit. Also her first collab wasn't with a veteran artist who did most of the heavylifting, clearly she wants her solo rise to be genuine.
I didn't know she had any solo singles so thanks! Must check them out
I really love her music so far. Cannot wait for the album.
I’m loving her solo career. My fav song is my love with ayra star she is doing well
Oh Leigh-Anne, i'm so proud of you. Look how far you've come
I can tell you work hard on these videos, I appreciate it! It makes for a enjoyable watch!
Thank you!! Obviously I really really love talking about music 🫶🏾
I am a Mixer and I love Leigh Anne
❤❤❤love leigh..in 2024 she is gonna be big mark my words🕯🙏she has it in her..
Great overview of the powerhouse that is Leigh-Anne ❤
Thank you for this video! I love leigh, i want everyone to talk about her talent and music. She's amazing. ❤️
She is killing it with this single roll out. I thought it would feel weird seeing her without the girls but she's really changed up her persona. I think the fact she waited a while to debut has helped make the separation from band to solo more natural. Leigh was always my favourite from LM. Both of her singles so far have been bops. I listen to My Love multiple times a day and I'm so excited for an album.
She’s been my favorite in little mix since I discovered them in their glory days days, and after hearing about her story through the years I’m so happy to see her flourishing
She can go far if she keep working hard.
I think she will!
Road to 100K!!! 🎉🎉 Let the countdown begin!
thank youuu! I'm do excited!
I’m so eager for her debut!! I’ve been a mixer for so long and it’s excites me to see her take this on full force. She’s knows exactly the type of artist she wants to be.
Her career's having the investiment Little Mix didn't, despite being one of the greatest girl group of all time. Her management is 🔥
I always loved her the most in Little Mix so I'm especially excited for her solo journey!
I love all of the influences she is adding into her sound, the afro and jamaican beats are so so good and her latest music video for My Love, pure perfection. I love her own music, is amazing.
I need her to BLOW UP!!!
Tysm for making this vid Naomi 💚💚💚
Love her!
Taste
She is amazing, she deserves the world 🥰
And she has her book coming 🎉
She is so talented
I love your interpretations about My Love clip vidéo a lot of things made sense
This was amazing. Could u please do a video on Jesy Nelson? She was the first one out of the girls to go solo but has since had a very different experience going solo
I really wanna see Leigh-Anne succeed❤❤❤❤
Leigh really deserves her flowers I always found it disgusting that nicki defended her black fishing band mate and bullied Leigh … it was the first time I knew that black women are obviously not a priority to nicki
2 videos in a short amount of time, i love it!
I think she deleted the other one about songs for other artists and didn't get to see it.
I posted that by complete accident! But I’ll make some changes before it’s uploaded in a couple weeks so it’s not boring to those of you who happened to catch it
@@naomi.cannibalthat makes a lot of sense because the timing was different than usual
@@jesusaceves3893see I watched it the second it was posted so I didn't even recognize it was gone 😂
Yeah CZcams sets uploads to midnight the next day and I was uploading multiple and forgot to private that one 🤷🏾♀️ so some of y’all got a little treat lol
I’m so happy you did video about Leigh-Anne🖤💚
I am so glad our girls is being noticed. Hun we see you here in scotland. Grow and show us your true self.
We believe in you ❤
Seen her in Boxing Day movie didn’t know she was a actual singer she’s soooo good
The 2nd release is a banger
Don't say love is a GREAT song. She will become a legend unlike that blackfishing ex little mix member
YESS! i was hoping you would do a video on her!!
BEEN waiting for this!!!1
I love Little Mix!!! ❤❤❤
She will go far
This is how you do a solo career from a group. I’m loving every release so far💜💜 love the Fifth Harmony Girls but they should take notes
I LOVE Little Mix. I got to see them live on the Dangerous Woman Tour and they were great. I want all 3 (shade intended) to have success as solo artists and also to get back together after solo endeavors. I love all 3 but have a soft spot for Leigh & Jade
Your videos are so in-depth! Appreciate you! ❤❤❤
2 vids oh she’s feeding us ☺️👏🏾
All members are amazing but I think Jesy is the only one not meant to be a solo artist, she just doesn't have that It factor
Agree
I agree as well
I do love little mix, and the British girl groups like the Spice Girls, Girls Aloud, and sugababes.
Outside TLC and destiny's child, American girl groups aren't known for the thing that British girl groups seem to have something better that make them last, a sisterhood..
It's still sad that Girls aloud planned to reunite in 2022 to celebrate their 20th anniversary, but the death of Sarah Harding, unfortunately and understandably derailed it.
The interviews are spot on, it's just weird to carry her verses, or always you're performing and having looks and just fun ways of communicating, it's just not the same, cos she's no longer with us, and it would be hard to get through a tour knowing that it's not all 5 celebrating 20 years of Girls Aloud.
Your upload schedule is impressive ❤
i think Yemọja makes more sense than Oshun since she is in the sea and not a river, but i love your interpretation!
You could be right thanks for adding this 🫶🏾
Definitely thought about oshun when I saw the water
We need an undated video because she is currently doing the best of the girls and I’m so happy for her . Tears from perrie has flopped unfortunately and her music direction right now is simply not working for her. It’s too generic. Jade will debut on July 19 so officially they all will have music out.
I know this video is about Leigh Anne but I do recall you mentioning not being familiar with Ayra starr in your VMAs predictions video...how do feel about her after listening to Leigh Anne's song featuring her (Ayra starr)
Unlike jesy she have potential. I hope she will release more songs and don't reject the album
Queen Leigh-Anne, the hsrdworker! 😊😊😊😊
I need her to do something with Raye or at least cover Escapism.
They’ve been in the studio together multiple times during Leigh’s writing camp so maybe we will get something
I enjoyed both songs! It's rare a non Afro beats artist can pull off that genre but she got it right💛
I loved this💗💗💗
Can you do a video on Josh Levi I feel like he's one of the upcoming male r&bstars that have the full package with vocals and choreography
8:47 this is accumulation!!
Damn I've never been this early
Anyone sleeping on her, let them know 🎉
FIRE
What happened to “artists sharing songs”? :(
posted by accident I was so sick when I woke up lol
Oh how sleep deprived I am-
She’s doing a lot of stuff, how does she even sleep??
The sad reality is that Leigh-Anne will probably have a very short lived solo career. It's very similar to the girls from All Saints. All Saints were hugely successful as a group but as solo acts, they had a few top 20 singles in the UK and then disappears. In general, the Little Mix girls don't have that solo power - their strength is in numbers. As solo acts, they lack the charisma or mystique to go far. Some might get upset with this stance but come back in a few years and tell me I was wrong.
Leigh Anne has the most potential for worldwide success, she is the most rounded vocally, has a huge stage presence, she’s creative and determined.
I agree... I don't feel drawn to any of them
They've kept a clean image so far and that's fine, but to make it solo you kinda need to sell out a bit, like becoming more sexy, raunchy videos/lyrics, maybe a celebrity fued or scandal. Personality wise Leighanne is quite boring
@@CB-123 who told you them lies? You sound idiotic 🤣
Just like Fifth Harmony
@@CB-123lol...people attract differently..and Leigh's personality is not boring..clearly you not that much of a fan..and she has got the body,looks...so she will make it...
girl what happened to the last video 😭 not the naomi cannibal lost media
it was accidental pls... yall will get it fr w some edits in like 2 weeks
