Beloved Geordie singer Jade Thirlwall has been dubbed as a ‘genius’ by fans after the release of her very first solo album, That’s Showbiz Baby, in the early hours of this morning
Little Mix’s former vocalist Jade Thirlwall has released her debut album after “years in the marking” and fans have shared their glowing reviews online, calling the South Shields singer a “genius”.
Jade, 32, is the last member of the quartet to have released her own solo music following the band’s hiatus announcement in 2021.
She first found fame when she auditioned for X Factor in 2011. Although she didn’t succeed as a solo artist, she was put into a four person girl group, Little Mix, alongside Perrie Edwards, Leigh-Anne Pinnock and Jesy Nelson.
The group eventually won the show, becoming the first band to do so. Little Mix went on to have multiple hit albums, including one in which only Jade, Perrie and Leigh-Anne were featured, after Jesy split from the group in 2020. The remaining trio announced a hiatus in 2021.

While someone else added: “I wasn’t ready for how good this album would be. Jade’s voice is stunning, the songs are addictive, and it’s honestly impossible to pick a favorite track.”
