Leigh-Anne Pinnock, the former Little Mix star, has teased exciting new music and revealed that her solo career has changed since leaving her record label.
Leigh-Anne Pinnock has asked fans to “stay with me” as she teased new solo music and hinted she has now left her record label to become an independent artist.
The 33-year-old former Little Mix star took to social media to post pics of herself in the studio as she prepares to release new tracks. The ex-girlband member was signed to Warner Music Group as a solo artist shortly after the band split in 2022.
However, it appears Leigh-Anne is now working with Virgin Music Group, who claim to be the world’s leading partner to independent artists, after reports that she “failed to impress” Warner with her solo music.
In an Instagram clip teasing her new music, Leigh-Anne wrote: “Control looks good on me” as Virgin posted in the comments with a string of heart emojis. Leigh-Anne replied back: “Let’s go.”

The mother-of-two, who has twin girls with her football teammate Andre Gray, also posted a selfie to her Instagram accounts with the caption “Cheers to a Leigh-Anne summer” in a message to her 9.9 million followers that “something beautiful is on the way.” She said in another smiling selfie that it was “what freedom looks like.”
The singer expressed more behind-the-scenes images of her new album in her most recent grid post, and that she was “Thinking about how eager I can be to release this now – we’re so fricken]sic] close.”
Giving fans an update in a voice note to fans on the Discord platform, the Daily Mail reported her as saying: “Seriously guys I’ve been wanting to tell so much what was happening, but yeah obviously the process of changing over has been… yeah that’s what has obviously taken time. But yeah obviously we are here – need you guys to stay with me, it is coming. But I just wanted you guys to know it is going to be a Leigh-Anne summer and y’all better get ready.”
In March last year the Mirror revealed Warner Records had refused to fork out for a video shoot to accompany her track Stealin Love – after her previous solo singles Don’t Say Love and My Love got only a lukewarm response.
After failing to obtain the funds she needed, the singer was forced to put some of her own money into her solo career. One person said, “Leigh-Anne’s solo career generated a lot of excitement, but it seemed to wane after the first two tracks.”
They continued, “Warner heavily supported Don’t Say Love for her debut, but we were disappointed by how it performed.” Similar to My Love, it was true. Leigh-Anne is undoubtedly a gifted individual, and solo success can take time to develop.
She has recently struggled to obtain the financial support she needed, to the point where she has even made a campaign contribution herself. And now that her most recent song, Stealin Love, has no video, she has.
The Sun reported Leigh-Anne’s debut album is “as good as complete now” and reported a source as saying: “Now it’s all about planning for the year ahead. She is hugely proud of the music she’s put out already, but she has taken a new direction when it comes to this record. Her debut single, Don’t Say Love, is unlikely to make it on to the tracklist.”
