Inside Leigh-Anne Pinnock’s big budget debut music video in Istanbul – 11 months after Little Mix hiatus



IT has been eleven months since Little Mix went on hiatus — with no music from Perrie Edwards, Jade Thirlwall or Leigh-Anne Pinnock since then.

But the wheels are finally in motion for Leigh-Anne Pinnock, 31, who has flown out to Istanbul with her team to rehearse and shoot a big budget video for her debut solo single.

The Sun can reveal the song is an up tempo pop hit and the accompanying video has a number of high octane dance scenes.

The video has been choreographed by King O’Holi, who previously worked with Leigh-Anne on Little Mix’s hit video for Sweet Melody, which propelled the track to No1.

King jetted out to Turkey over the weekend.

In the biggest hint yet that Leigh-Anne won’t stray far from the Little Mix blueprint, she was joined by London-based dancer Joy Duckrell who has been friends with Leigh-Anne since working with the group in 2020.

The Shout Out To My Ex singer is currently locked in rehearsals, with multiple top execs from her new management company TaP joining her to keep a close eye on the progress of the shoot.

Leigh-Anne was snapped up by the company long before Little Mix announced their hiatus, after making it clear she wanted a solo career.

The company previously helped make Dua Lipa an international superstar and have guided the careers of Ellie Goulding and Lana Del Rey, who have both bagged No1 albums this year.

A source said: “Leigh-Anne’s debut is just around the corner. Her talent is undeniable and so is her work ethic.

“She’s locked in rehearsals now to perfect her moves and to make sure the video is everything and more for her fans.

“The combination of the high energy dance routines and the dramatic scenery and buildings in Istanbul will make for a truly stunning video.”

The single will be released through Warner Music, just over a year after The Sun revealed how Leigh-Anne had signed a massive solo deal with the music giant.
