She's released a snippet of a song (whether it's the first single or just a random track, we don't know yet) to her Instagram stories. Sounds quite Billie Eilish-y judging by that 1.5 second, LQ clip, just with more punch?

Should Jesy have her own thread in the pop music forum? Or even her own forum if people are that keen? I'm sorry if it seems too cold or too soon but she isn't in Little Mix anymore and doesn't want to be linked with them either from the sound of her exit post.

All solo material is discussed in the groups forums. I guess we need to add the "+ Solo" part to our forum now aha!

She's working with the LM5 team. Also her voice is delicious so I'm perched. Think if she gets it right it could really work out.

Meh lost respect for her really, I’m interested in the single but seems way too soon she’s barely been out of LM 5 minutes.
I’m way more excited to see what the Trio come up with.
Posted by: Slayer 26th February 2021, 10:47 PM
She posted the below on instagram with the caption 'My happy place ❤️'
So excited! She genuinely does seem a lot happier now doing things on her terms!
All of the people in the photo posted the same photo and one had the caption 'Loading...'

This screams insta bullshit.
I don’t want to be pessimistic but your mental health issues don’t just vanish after 3 months.
She‘ll be shooting music videos, Performing, pressure of being a solo artist.
Seems crazy to me that she hasn’t even taken a proper breather.

Just because you suffer from mental health doesn't mean you can't work - for many artists music is a form of therapy.
You can be in a bad place months ago and then feel better, sometimes I wonder whether people would prefer Jesy to be crying and unhappy not working (i'm not directing this at you).
Leaving has obviously been a long time coming and if this is what she wants, she has every right to do it. She should not stop pursuing her dreams because of mental health.
She's always said the issue was being in a group, ofcourse she'll still be compared but in her mind she'd feel more comfortable solo - who are we to argue against what Jesy wants? Also she probably had to compromise a lot, at least this way she's making the music she wants and doing the amount of promo she wants to do.
Posted by: shadow2009 27th February 2021, 11:40 AM
Sorry but yeah, I agree. She ditched the girls during one of the most important times of their career and left them to promote Sweet Melody, host the EMAs, complete The Search and promote Confetti as a 3 piece plus they can’t release another single from the album because of her and it seems like No Time For Tears was rushed as well.
She hurt their brand and didn’t even thank anyone for getting Sweet Melody to #1 or acknowledge the fans getting Always Be Together to #1 on iTunes.
I like her and am sure she’ll release bops but she definitely screwed over the other three girls with this stunt.
Posted by: jsweetxe 27th February 2021, 12:19 PM
we don't really need think pieces on her mental health, nor the constant speculation on events that we have no clue about : ~ )
Posted by: caseclosed 27th February 2021, 12:45 PM
If you read her post when she left the girls she made it very clear that it was being in a group that took a toll on her mental health and that she was ready to pursue a new chapter in her life, even if she wasn't sure what it would look like. I think she already has a therapist so it's up to her how long of a break she takes. She clearly looks a lot happier and light spirited.

mhm, it's getting annoying that people are being so selective with what they read in her post.
She said she didn't like the pressures of being in a group. She also took several months off if you wanna get technical. We have no right to comment on her mental health and her recovery process. I can't believe you all just expect her to sit around. The fact we now have two individual acts from the "Little Mix" brand releasing music is so exciting because they're all so immensely talented, I wish nothing but success for Jesy

Well put and I completely agree. Never have been a fan of her but this move by her just shows her true colours in my opinion. So wrong the way she left the group and has shown no respect at all. And let’s be honest the PR statement was complete nonsense as well. I would respect her more if she had just told the truth. The solo career will be short lived and watch her go crawling back in a few years time.

Can’t help but feel the exact same. I look forward to hearing what she has to bring to the table but I just can’t help but feel a little let down. I completely understand her reasons for leaving but she really did leave at such an important time in their career. I just feel like none of the other girls would have done it.
And to now Pursue a solo career so soon to her leaving must be so hard for the other girls to see. But still interested to see what she does, just think it’s a little unfair on the girls to do it so soon.

I think it’s only natural for people to have these reactions. I’m quite concerned about the team of people she had around her who would know what reaction diving into a solo career so quickly would look like. I mean, everyone in here is a fan of Little Mix, just think what the reaction is going to be like from people who aren’t! I fear if Jesy’s mental health wasn’t in a good place in the band then it’s not going to get any better having to deal with this and without the support of the other girls.
Posted by: Tafty 28th February 2021, 10:01 AM
She left the group in a very highly publicised way. So talk about people being "disappointed" and "let down" by her releasing so soon is always going to be a topic and talking point. It was for Geri, it was for Robbie, it was for Zayn and will now be (even moreso due to social media) for Jesy. So all of that I completely understand coz even to me it feels a little bit "oh. ok. "
However, I'm not appreciating people talking about her mental health and how she should or shouldn't be dealing with it and whether or not THEY think she is ready to get back to work, when we literally know... nothing about anything when it comes to this situation and her mental health. She looks happy and healthy, which is what's the most important.
Feel disappointed and annoyed/upset all you want at how soon you think it all is, but please refrain from bringing her mental health into the discussion when we know so, SO little.

I missed this post as I was too busy trying to word my above post (not the best with words), but essentially "THIS"!
Posted by: Liam.k. 28th February 2021, 10:10 AM
Tbf her mental health has been very highly publicised too so it’s not surprising it’s a talking point. I totally appreciate the point that we don’t know what her current mental health state is but, like I said, the backlash from jumping into a solo career so quickly is growing and it’s only going to get worse when she actually releases something; I think it’s clear that this would be a lot to deal with for anyone.
As I said though, I blame the team around her. They would have know this was coming and yet they’ve not advised Jesy to keep things low-key. They’re alright, they’re not the ones that are going to have to put up with all the bullshit.
Edit: oh I’ve seen you’ve responded to my post :’)
Posted by: Mr. C. Joel 28th February 2021, 10:13 AM
Her mental health everyone understands. It’s the way she’s handled it which isn’t relevant to her mental health at all!
I’m not going to say anymore on it but it’s basically two fingers up to the other girls who have always supported her, we don’t know what’s going on behind the scenes but publicly it feels really harsh to fans and the band.
Posted by: MrAndrewMan 28th February 2021, 10:22 AM
At the end of the day, whether it feels 'harsh' to you or not, she has to focus on what makes her happy. I do find it slightly hypocritical when people say they 'care about her mental health' but then want her to stay in a position which she has said isn't good for her mental health.
Posted by: Envoirment 28th February 2021, 02:21 PM
I agree this isn't going to look very good on her and the press/social media could get very nasty about this potentially.
Fingers crossed everything goes well and that she has a good support bubble. I'm excited to hear what she comes up with, the snippet sounds interesting.
Posted by: Chemistry 28th February 2021, 04:07 PM
The comments in this topic are truly shocking, and people are surprised she has left the band!
Jesy is allowed to do whatever she wants in her live, this is literally NONE of our business. She has had her reasons to leave, she has struggled in the past as we all know, and we can only respect this. Being a solo act is completely different compared to being in a pop group / pop machine. Look at Zayn; he also left 1D and went solo, but decided to do it his way with way less promo and performances. Maybe Jesy will do the same? The reactions some fans are giving now and truly distasteful and I hope Jesy never reads these. Do we remember her documentary? How she felt after reading all the nasty stuff about her, people are doing the exact same thing now without knowing ANY of the context. We literally don't know anything.

No ones being nasty just saying she’s being insensitive to the other girls and fans feelings by already promoting new music and teasing new music on socials!!
Less than 3 months and she’s working with producers from LM5 portraying how she’s in her happy place, it’s making a statement and called marketing!
If I were the girls I’d be fuming 9 years strong in the band where they offered nothing but support to her for then to leave ditch them on The Search etc and like 2 months after she’s in the studio working with LM5’s team.
Come on that’s so harsh to be marketing her solo work already at least have a breather and take some time out for the girls as a Trio to release something.
It’s all just marketing and it’s clear her new record deal already has her puppeteering, knowing to strike while the irons hot to get her releasing new material.

I think we need to get away from this notion that Jesy "ditched" the girls or "screwed them over". We all know this must have been an extremely tough decision made over a long period of time. Yes, it may have been unfortunate timing but she did it for personal mental health and happiness. We also do not know how neither Jesy nor the girls feel about this and it's not fair to assume either.
On the topic of her solo music: I'm really confused why people think it's a "marketing stunt" - as others have said many people treat music as therapy and if it makes Jesy happy, why not?

Jesy wasn’t an employee of the girls or the mixers. She didn’t owe anyone anything.
Posted by: J00prstar 28th February 2021, 06:37 PM
100% team Jesy on this.
'Leaving' the girls would be like if she locked them out of the tourbus. She's just taking her career a different direction and if the others want to keep working together OR solo, they can.
Every year for ten years she's probably been making a different decision.

They do but many artists including major artists keep it all private...
Jesy is actively teasing new music, including snippets alongside producers which screams management / label...
Its all so odd how she unfollowed management and most links to Little Mix instantly and somehow is recording new music already, surely given Covid too she must of signed a deal or had a deal lined up even before she left?
Posted by: Rossco 28th February 2021, 09:27 PM
Wouldn’t surprise me is she wanted a stint as a solo artist and it just didn’t fit with the Little Mix schedule so she left instead.

I feel like she's gonna aim for an LM5 type pop with heavy R&B influences throughout kinda vibe.

regarding the names on the board- all of those people are established artists, but i imagine it is more of a moodboard scenario as they all make that sort of midtempo/moody r&b music that Jesy likes, Sinead Harnett is the original singer of "Be the One" that Jesy covered a while ago, so I imagine it's either potential collabs/writers/inspiration.

Yeah I agree, Jesy was always very included and she was also the face of the group for the most part, especially when it came to public speaking and affirming their place.
She just didn't want to do certain things and the girl's respected that, they've always had very different tastes as far as music/sound goes.

Imagine if she joined them on stage and they all hugged. Never going to happen. But my WHOLE WORLD would be restored... that and The Sats announcing the 2022 reunion tour.

I'm not sure Jesy is big enough to get a brits performance, a lot of artists struggle to perform with bigger success and nominations !

she was apart of the biggest group in the UK and every time they did a Brit's performance she smashed it, it's not like she's a completely new artist, they know what her potential is and what type of performance factor she can bring to the stage. (the brits also looooved using their name for promo purposes)

my sad little dream is for Jesy to announce the best group category and for little mix to win so they can all technically share the stage at that moment </3

I really want Sweet Melody to become a BRITs nominated single. It's a shame if it misses it because of a late year release.
Also, a SM performance has the potential to be the best they ever did. We're usually given performances of the tracks that have been the most successful but not necessarily are the ones we want them to perform - i.e. SOTME x Touch.
This is a combo of most successful single and the best track they released in ages.

i know it's off-topic lol but artists tend to perform the song that is nominated. Black Magic/Shout Out to My Ex/Woman Like Me all had best single noms when performed, however if they are performing this year but aren't nominated then hopefully it means a bit of freedom in their choice? (medley medley medley medley)

Posted by: Mr. C. Joel 20th March 2021, 06:50 AM
I can’t believe she’s sharing more studio time than she pretty much ever did with LM.
It’s really confusing is she actually suddenly really happy being away from The group or is this because she has something to prove that it was the right choice.
It all feels a bit ‘look at me’ girls I’m so much happier without you.
If she’s happy then that’s great, Sometimes you do have to put yourself first I think it’s just sad to see as a fan especially towards the end of her time in LM she was hardly present at all.

It's probably the fact that when there's three other people whose feelings you have to respect it's harder to just share things impulsively on social media at the risk of stepping on someone's toes.

this & also Jesy was probably the person who "leaked" the most things when the girls didn't want her to (they were evidently a bit miffed about Strip being revealed when she blurted it out on their livestream)
they enjoy being a bit secretive abt their work and Jesy doesn't, also Jesy just spent the last 9 years being relatively unhappy going into the studio to work on music she didn't like for the most part so it feels so weird to see people being like "UHHHH?" when she's sharing happy studio vids... like.... go outside

I genuinely think she's doing it because she's really passionate.
I'm sure it's not a 'look at me' towards the girls, I think she's just passionate about the music she's making. Also, you need to remember the girls are posting images/videos of them as a three - so why can't Jesy post about her upcoming projects too? I don't think it's a Jesy v LM situation.
Jesy is just passionate and she's doing her own thing.
I do get where you're coming from it is bittersweet seeing her so happy now during the recording process compared to being in LM but I think it all comes down to her having the freedom to make the music she wants to make. She probably had to make a lot of comprises (as all the girls probably did) in regards to music styles etc and now she's finally got the opportunity to just experiment.
I'm excited to see what all the girls bring out and i'll be supporting them all
I do wish she had completed the Confetti era and had a proper 'goodbye' but it is what it is I guess. I'm just happy her last single with the band got to Number 1.

This narrative you’ve made up is just not true. The girls weren’t mad at Jesy for saying the title Strip in that livestream the same way we’ve never seen evidence that they were mad when Perrie put almost all of Forget You Not on her instagram stories. They were just surprised that she said it and we’re probably thinking that someone from management was gonna tell her off for doing so.

Jade/Leigh/Perrie pretty much prefer to keep things a bit secretive, especially the former two, Perrie recently has let MTV & co trick her into thinking she's the "queen of leaking" which is another convo, whereas Jesy enjoys teasing fans, she always has, especially in her insta comments.
I didn't say the girls were mad at her, because they evidently weren't, I was talking about the topic of "why is she sharing now when before she didn't", and before she didn't share as much cause she probably didn't want to ruin the surprises and excitement that the girls as a group had built up, whereas now it's only her.
the only people who are making problems are the people on the side of "wow jesy is so fake she was lying!!!" mine was a simple observation based on previous events as a group.

You literally said that the girls were miffed at her when she said the title of Strip. There’s no evidence of that. And all the girls share little bits here and then. Jade has often teased little bits in instagram and twitter comments. Leigh Anne has used lyrics as captains before the songs were released. As stated before, Perrie practically leaked a whole song and hummed Confetti in one interview and sang a line in another. Jesy doesn’t do it anymore often than the rest and pretending she did and that the girls were annoyed with her is a narrative you’ve made up. Just say she’s also enjoyed teasing things without comparing it to the other three. Especially when there’s really no comparison because they all do it.
Posted by: J00prstar 22nd March 2021, 01:08 PM
Here y'all.
Aside from the girl group vs solo thing, ever think it might just be that she's out of a more stifling contract that the girls were tied in to in order to be Little Mix?
Could have been that it wasn't that there was conflict between the girls per se, but that Jesy didn't want to be under the same contractual obligations and limits on her behaviour etc. while the other girls were happy to stay under it.
She will also make a higher % of profit as a solo artist because she isn't splitting 4 ways.

you have to remember... not only did she have to compromise her image in Little Mix (the four girls have to kinda dress similarly etc.), it's very potent she's not keen on the pop stuff (I mean she literally hates their poppiest song 'Black Magic' lol). I'm very intrigued by JN1. I'm imagining a 'Hotline Bling' type sound or full on out there dance lol.

She has every right to still work with people she felt comfortable working with, plus Jesy's always been an amazing dancer so it was obvious she'd have a choreo heavy video.
I get people dislike her, but I think she seems better off on her own and the girls are flourishing as a trio. I'm happy they are all happy doing their own things.
Plus there is always going to be some sort of connection in the music industry.
I do also hope that her new song does not come out on the same week as their 10 year anniversary.

Sorry?! Where did I say she couldn’t work with them?
Just saying it’s hilarious how she’s gearing up for a first single which taps into the LM fanbase and is producing a song based on what did well for LM.
Where’s the Soul, R&B it’s pretty obvious it’s going to be a pop bop exactly what she’s always moaned about!
Jesy was always my favourite by the way but IMO she’s not handled herself well at all since leaving for reasons unrelated to LM.

LM5 is more urban and the sound Jesy preferred, so it's not a surprise she's working with those people, she shouldn't be cut off from working with people she's comfortable with and worked with in the past just because she's not in LM anymore.
I don't think you can complain about the genre of music when we haven't even heard more than 10 seconds of a song yet, I just feel like people are attacking her for anything at this moment.
Also a tiny clip that Jesy teased a month or two ago definitely sounded more R&B.
Not trying to argue at all, it just seems you're unhappy she's left and you're attacking her music before it has even came out.
Aslong as she's happy with the music she's putting out, that is the main thing. I just feel like the constant attacks on Jesy are too much - i'm not directing this solely at you, more so those on Twitter.

Someone on Popjustice posted this, apparently Jesy wants to avoid any clash with the 10 year anniversary:
I have friends that are dancing in Jesys new music video. Their comments “the song is alright but the visual concept and choreography is so sick.”
They also said they think the release days is mid September. They’re shooting it real soon - she’s avoiding clashing with the anniversary plans (please don’t quote me on this, it’s all warm tea) so we can rest a little bit

She’s not releasing on their anniversary though, so far people are saying September. However I do think they will release around the same time since the girls have something coming in September too.

Also, the description is fine. I wasn’t expecting anything but visuals and choreo. Normani seems to build up a fan base using that model.
Posted by: spiceboy 3rd August 2021, 02:25 PM
At the end of the day the poor girl was unhappy and if this is what makes her happy then she should do whatever it is she has to! I wish her luck, if she comes out with something good I'm sure she will smash it, will be interesting to see if she can keep it going though as no ex girlband member has really been able to sustain their success.
It's such a shame she didn't feel she could go on for another year though and make it to 10 years to round it all off. I mean she deserves that Best British Band Brit award, and she (rightfully so) is in the wax work etc. With the upcoming Greatest Hits would have been a great way to round it all off and then the remaining three girls continue if they wish to do so.

I feel the same. I wish when she left the group she said that wanting to work on her own solo music was part of the reason. At least then this would all make more sense. I really hope she’s happy now though and her new music does well for her.

Posted by: Slayer 28th October 2021, 07:16 PM
According to Jesy during her interview with Noctis magazine the next single is potentially a song called 'Heartbreak Hotel' - it is apparently a metaphor for where we all go in our heads when we are heartbroken. Whether you've lost someone, broken up with someone or you feel depresse'.
She apparently hopes to perform it at The Brits next year.
She also mentioned another song that is about what it is like growing up in this day and age with instagram and the stigma of what a girl should look like.

Jesy posted a photo of herself in the recording studio
This sounds amazing can’t wait to hear it in full !
Posted by: Slayer 7th November 2021, 08:59 PM
Jesy just did an instagram live, it was basically like Eat In With Little Mix, it was hilarious - her and her friends were trying to make pancakes and trying to flip them.
She said she's written 9 songs for the album so far and is still writing.
She said there will be a tour.
BOYZ merch is coming soon and she helped design them. She also teased an upcoming song off of the album which is really dark.
She said she can't wait to see everyone soon.
The instagram live was only viewable to people she had open DM's with on instagram.
Do you guys think she will double-down or change her image?
I am actually kinda interested to see what single #2 sounds like (& if it will come with another accidentally-viral performance)
Posted by: Billy. 7th January 2022, 04:01 PM
I don’t see her changing, I think this is genuinely the aesthetic she wants to have and she probably does feel her best but it’s just a shame it’s so problematic.

I mean, she could just be working on more tracks for the album while her label plans for other stuff surrounding the second single (video shoots, promotion etc).
Though it wouldn't surprise me if the label has sent her back to the studio because Boyz went a bit south... I guess we'll see.

I’m beyond excited for you guys to hear this next part of my journey, this record is my whole heart and I know you guys have been so patient, but I want you to know that it will be worth the wait and I just love you guys so bloody much ❤️
y'know it's sorta sad to see (well, not sad because she dug her own grave) all of this effort being put into a record that is going to be dead on arrival..
Posted by: dannjohn 7th February 2022, 02:51 PM
i do think shes gonna obtain another big feature.
Posted by: caseclosed 7th February 2022, 02:56 PM
Honestly don't think it's over for her yet. If she gets the right song people will stream it anyway, especially since the other girls are going solo now too so the media will love to feed a rivalry.
Posted by: shindymindy 7th February 2022, 05:53 PM
I think she may have lost quite a few of her demographic after the Boyz fiasco but wouldn't surprise me if she has another moderate(ish) hit with single number 2.

Considering we're approaching six months since Boyz was released, I'd assume they'll attempt to go for a full relaunch. But that's if the record label just doesn't quietly cut their losses which is also a risk.
Posted by: Slayer 20th February 2022, 12:36 PM
Jesy and will.i.am have started following each other on instagram - they were also spotted together at the Jingle Bell Ball, not sure if this means anything.
I'd prefer not to have a will.i.am collab unless it was a song with multiple artists.
surely there must be some new music news... or is she really going to wait until the Little Mix tour starts

Well she's been grieving the loss of her grandmother, which she posted on instagram last week. I still don’t get the need for snide comments about her unprovoked, what's next how dare Jesy post about music on the day Perrie is spotted getting milk? It's getting ridiculous at this point.
She was scheduled to go to LA in the next few days to record, we'll see if she still does.
Posted by: Feel_The_Fever 22nd March 2022, 04:14 PM
I wonder when the 2nd single will get released,, she had alot of interest with the first single due to it been her first release and the whole fallout drama etc but I cant help but feel she has an uphill battle with her next single unless it's a really strong standout song.

I agree, I don't think the big gap is helping things unless her team think they need to wait for things to 'die down' and find that 'big' song in the meantime.
It seems like she's recorded A LOT of music so far. She just needs that right song, rooting for her and all the girls to do well solo.

For some reason I think she is going to have a similar type story to liam Payne of One Direction where the singles will be very mixed and rely on features, collaborations etc.
Posted by: Muzkik85 24th March 2022, 01:47 AM
^ same
I actually think she's wise to have waited so long. Boyz charted well but was a critical disaster much like the entire campaign. Leaving a decent chunk of time for the dust to settle gives time to regroup.
June would be a good release with a third single in September and album in October. By the the tours over and people will have their eyes on all four of them. Her coming back with a strong sound ahead of the other three could help.
But realistically she's not going to be the Harry of the group.
Posted by: Slayer 24th March 2022, 01:20 PM
Jesy posted that she's in LA for a month working on new music. She's sharing a house with Tally Bad and Mvndee.
She posted a video with them and a producer named Jay Century and creative directors Corey Kastner and Justin Miller.
Speechless. She's darker than ever in this and her last photos posted.
And NADINE COYLE HAVING 'LIKED' THIS VIDEO.
H from Steps too!
I think she’s pretty much over now to be honest, all the goodwill in the world for her has evaporated. It’s a shame because she was my personal favourite voice in a pop star etc but it is what it is!

Yeah her team and her need to do something to better her image if they want to salvage her solo career. —————— In regards to Shadow’s comment about her tan, people do tend to get darker when they’ve been in a hot country for 6/7 weeks sunbathing so it’s hardly shocking. Although I agree the Coachella video does not help her. Let’s please not argue about her tan, as I think we’ve all said a lot about it and will just go in circles and just respect we each have different thoughts/opinions which is fair enough, let’s try keep this thread music related.

I wonder if Jesy’s problem is that she’s surrounded by enablers who make excuses for her and refuse to acknowledge the issue and instead try shut down any criticism and change the subject?
There’s nothing music related to discuss with this woman. She will never release an album. It’s been six months and she hasn’t even released a second single. Her music career is over. Blackfishing is all she has.
Posted by: Yobnedor 8th May 2022, 07:48 PM
I have no doubt that a second single will arrive - even if it’s released independently.
Posted by: dannjohn 9th May 2022, 11:03 AM
tbh i stand by my theory that none of the little mix solo careers will see any longstanding solo success.
i am utterly confused at her coachella video as she evidentally knows noone in the video... she's not even captured with anyone during it. feels a bit sad really.
she is so gonna announce it on Saturday night isn't she?

How the hell is she affording all these high profile collabs?
She must be on a 360 deal.
Posted by: Muzkik85 1st June 2022, 09:25 AM
Her team were smart to leave a big gap between Boyz and the "official first song from the album" as I doubt boys will be more than a bonus track.
Now that the group are done for a while she is still in the prime position to be the one that everyone else's debuts get compared to so her label will go hard to be 'it'.
A single in July and October with a November album is likely. They just have to time it right because Jesys always suffered from being compared to the others. She needs to get a new single or two out before any of the others before that becomes the case again.
Posted by: Yobnedor 1st June 2022, 12:06 PM
The three remaining girls won’t take their feet off the gas too spectacularly though. If they’re already making sure they aren’t clashing with releases… things are imminent for at least one of them and pretty quick I would say…
Makes sense why she was back in LA for like 8 weeks recording music recently.
Posted by: tommie 5th June 2022, 03:20 PM
Pretty obvious. Her label is probably nervous after all the backlash and the fact Boyz didn't really become a huge hit despite peaking at #4.
It genuinely wouldn't surprise me at this point if the album never materialises.
Posted by: Ho-Lee Smokes 5th June 2022, 03:28 PM
I think they will test another single to see how it does but it won’t do anything worldwide, I doubt she will actually debut top 40 in the UK tbh
Posted by: Slayer 5th June 2022, 03:41 PM
She's obviously super talented, she just needs the right songs.
I think after Boyz she really needs to come back with something 'big'. It'd be nice to see her do some acoustic performances where she's just showing off her vocals and remind people how talented she is.
I think she needs to do some collabs or jump on some collabs right now...
Posted by: Slayer 5th June 2022, 05:21 PM
Jesy responded to a few fans DMs and said the article is not true and that people just love to make stuff up.

Even if true it's pretty standard, Little Mix scrapped an album, Britney's scrapped an album, so many artists do.
Posted by: Sour Candy 5th June 2022, 08:07 PM
All artists have unreleased tracks and abandoned album concepts.
In Jesy's case though, it would be best to release several singles and make an album around them. Like Mabel and Becky Hill etc have done.

I definitely agree with you, I think she should release a few singles first!

Posted by: Billy. 6th June 2022, 06:29 AM
Until Jesy reflects, apologises and alters her actions/image accordingly then her musical output is going to be eclipsed by everything else. I don’t mean to bring up the black fishing and I know we all have opinions on it that don’t need to be retread but it is so closely linked with her realistic chances of success and media opinion as a whole, as she has alienated, by offending the majority of her fan base and peers.
Posted by: tommie 6th June 2022, 06:40 AM
I mean, obviously when they launched Boyz they must've felt confident about having material to follow it. Clearly the drama surrounding it gave the label cold feet or else we would've had a second (or even a third...) single by now.
Posted by: Mr. C. Joel 6th June 2022, 07:30 AM
The label should have dropped her tbh.
I still can’t believe she hasn’t apologised or addressed her behaviour in fact she just seems to be carrying on as normal which is so worrying.
I can’t see many artists wanting to work with her either...
Posted by: dannjohn 6th June 2022, 08:30 AM
theres obviously trouble in paradise... there must have been some form of an album ready to go last year otherwise no label in their right mind would have been ready to launch (especially with a nicki feature that would have cost thousands).
Posted by: Slayer 6th June 2022, 08:44 AM
Jesy has made a post about the rumours and confirmed the next single is coming soon and that the album is nearly finished.
Posted by: Slayer 6th June 2022, 12:09 PM
Her team spoke to The Mirror:
A spokesperson said: “In recent months, Jesy has been in the studio recording in Los Angeles developing her body of work with a whole series of tracks. And fans can rest assured they can expect to hear new music from Jesy very soon."
A source added: “The new music is captivating…it’s going to raise the bar, and some.”
"Things had been progressing “at normal speed and without any hiccups.”
The source added: “everyone is very excited by the new music. It’s going to be very special indeed.”
Posted by: Mr. C. Joel 6th June 2022, 12:14 PM
No offence Slayer but Jesy and her label can feed any BS (they’ll always be positive)
They are never openly going to admit that they thought her album wasn’t any good and asked her to redo it!
Who knows what the truth is but it’s all dead in the water at this point.
Posted by: tommie 6th June 2022, 12:25 PM
I've followed the pop/music industry to know that when they delay single #2 from a campaign and send the artist back to the studio it's never good news.
She, her team or her label is of course never going to admit that. They clearly got spooked by the backlash and the relative underperformance of Boyz bar the first week.
Maybe she'll truly land a banger for single #2 that will course-correct everything but I don't think it's looking good especially with the three other members throwing their hats into the ring in the coming months.
Posted by: Slayer 6th June 2022, 12:45 PM
I totally get where you guys are coming from and I agree her team/label can say anything. I, as a fan of all four girls am excited and hope for a good roll out for single number two and hope she does a lot to better her image and rectify a few things.
I do think she needs to hurry as like Tommie said i'm pretty sure one of the other girls are probably going to release something imminently.
Posted by: shadow2009 6th June 2022, 03:44 PM
Jesy/her label/whoever is running her career really don't have a clue. Putting aside the blackfishing/drama/Boyz release, it's just insanely stupid that she left the group 18 months ago and has released one single. She had so much time to build up a solo career for herself and establish herself before the other girls released and now even though she had a huge head start she's going to be even more forgotten about when Jade/Leigh/Perrie drop their debuts.
Just get a move on. Release something. Get on a feature. Do something. I don't even support her AT ALL and check this thread out of curiosity but it's so frustrating seeing situations like this happen with anyone. When is it going to click that radio silence and constantly going back to the studio for months KILLS CAREERS?
It's the same with Normani. She left Fifth Harmony over four years ago and has released two singles. You need to erm, release music in this industry.

I think the issue is that they thought Boyz was the single that would pretty much kick-start the campaign and keep the buzz going for the other singles - of course, then the drama happened and Boyz died a quick death on the charts instead of staying on it for months. Now she pretty has to start over and find that one song that can kick-start her campaign, but it also means as you said that she's losing her head-start on the other girls. Jade's release sounds like it's just around the corner and there's just no way radio is going to support four solo careers from Little Mix. If we're lucky they'll end up supporting two in the long term (if even that, generally band members going solo have a lousy track record of getting support, especially for girl groups).
Posted by: Slayer 6th June 2022, 05:17 PM
Jesy is in the studio today with Sunny from Loose Change, she's worked with them a lot for the album.

To be fair, Little Mix straddled a lot of genres and I'm sure she liked some tracks they did, but might've not liked the overall direction. Loose Change worked on LM5, which was more R&B focused which seems to be where she wants to go with her solo music, so it makes sense.

I think the funny thing is she really could've turned it around once Jingle Bell Ball went viral.
Get the shoulder dance into an ad campaign, or release some merch, or even do a TikTok video to the footage. That would really show you being able to laugh at yourself and leaning into it. Instead she totally ignored it and blocked people who brought it up and accused people that discovered her through that and had a laugh as being bullies. Just stupid.

Jesy responded to a fans comment questioning whether this instrumental is for her next single and she seemed to confirm it with ‘🙊’. So it seems single two is a ballad? Unless the instrumental switches up.
Weird saying that stuff when you’re always in the threads Especially when the people saying this will be the first people to check out her new music.
It’s fine you don’t like her but the trolling is a bit much, let the people who do ‘care’ have a place they can post/discuss without childish comments like ‘nobody cares’ despite constantly checking on her.
Unless you’d like people who dislike your faves to go into those threads and derail them to? Show some basic levels of respect and decency instead of constantly coming here with rude remarks to derail the thread.

I think it’s probably more the fact that every social media post gets posted here, which considering the majority show her at her blackfishing best, rubs people up the wrong way.

I agree with this. Not every Instagram post she makes is about music but it does feature her blackfishing to some extent and just showing a general lack of education/awareness etc which at this point is just embarrassing - it really does feel like she, and her fans, are just trying to rub it in people's faces and then pulling out "well don't speak about it!!" cards when faced with a retaliation from other people who are rightfully calling it out.
Although "nobody cares" isn't exactly the biggest discussion point, it does have weight considering that indeed, nobody cares about Jesy's music/career at this point (bar a few die hard fans which I still don't understand). Posting in a thread does not mean caring fyi, most of us are here to see the mess that follows.

Mmm not true, Leigh's song that leaked wasn't amazing, but it was inoffensive, it would've been a nice album track once it was polished. Jesy's was.. horrendous, putting her already tightrope voice over the top, having the absolute worst inane lyrics and also weirdly sounding like 7 Rings (Which in itself isn't a good song)
If that's the music Jesy intends to make then good luck getting that top 40 u speak of.
Posted by: sammy01 6th September 2022, 02:10 PM
Wait why are people defending that clip of Jesy? No one can surely listen to that and think it is good? Her voice sounds painful, the lyrics are embarassing and it sounds like a parody of a Jesy song someone would make to take the piss out of her.

Im not sure what isn’t true as you’ve literally just said yourself Leigh’s song wasn’t great.
There is zero objectivity regarding Jesy or music, like I get why and I’m not saying this song was good at all. I was just saying that it’s going to be harder for her to gain any sort of praise for her music, not that she should be.

Jesy has deactivated her instagram, hopefully she is ok.
I don’t know how true this is but Jesy’s also been off Instagram for a month now.

Could it have been a left-over schedule from her Polydor contract? She "left" them at the end of July (29th) - it's possible that they had planned to release a second single in September and made arrangements to do so, but the split happened when they couldn't agree on anything. I just doubt she and her management would've been able to either set up something independently during August and start scheduling promotional duties as they're usually set up months in advance, but also other things plainly relating to legalities probably wouldn't have been able to be sorted in such a short time frame.

i imagine she'll look to restart in the New Year.
Her silence over the Boyz debacle is quite telling as i thought she was the one driving that.
Posted by: Slayer 20th October 2022, 03:30 PM
She’s returned to instagram after a long break.
Wonder if this will mean some sort of music announcement will come soon?
can't wait to see what the UK baddie comes up with next
Posted by: tommie 21st October 2022, 03:43 PM
I doubt there will be much news until the new year. As I said - I assume they'd still have to deal with legal stuff and if she's either signing with another label or setting up her own, it'll take some time to do.
Posted by: sammy01 22nd October 2022, 02:41 PM
More like she would be mad to try and release anything now, songs take a few weeks to take off these days and in a few weeks Christmas songs will invade the charts. Not that I think she could get a hit now but the only people releasing over the next 2 months will be album sellers.

But again, it might be inevitable to avoid clashing with one of the other three. Might not get released the same week, but might end up being few weeks apart, and so might still compete in the charts
Posted by: J00prstar 23rd October 2022, 08:10 AM
You all are having a laugh if you think she has any shot of competing at the charts. After burning her bridges and burning through her own money its hard to see where she goes from here.

This album will definitely never happen, and if there is another single at any point it has no chance of reaching the top 40.
Posted by: Slayer 24th October 2022, 05:49 PM
Jesy has posted that she needed a social media break and that she’ll release new music early next year. She will apparently be dropping hints ahead of the single.
Really hoping for a big bop or something that really showcases her vocals.
Posted by: tommie 25th October 2022, 06:41 AM
Not sure why she keeps talking to fans privately about her plans, especially considering all talk about her second single led to it being delayed for a year and dropped by her record label. She'd be better off at this point to just shut up and drop it when she's good and ready.

She regularly talks to her fans, it’s nice. People have shared lots of posts she’s sent to fans who are really struggling with mental health and she sends them really sweet messages to keep strong. I’ve actually spoke to her on DMs quite a few times recently and she’s been lovely.
However, saying that I get what you mean it may be best to keep quiet about music but I can see she is constantly being asked online. I’m hoping some music does actually materialise early next year.
Posted by: Feel_The_Fever 25th October 2022, 02:09 PM
For her solo career to work the next single is nothing but crucial for her, she needs it to be big to stand a chance, if i was a betting man i cant see her rescuing her solo music career but we have seen it done before so who knows, i think she has made too many mistakes starting off her solo career to turn it around now.
Posted by: dannjohn 26th October 2022, 07:40 AM
she needs an R&B ballad i think
Posted by: Slayer 26th October 2022, 02:22 PM
What is everyone thinking? Do you think it’ll be a ballad or an up tempo?
We all know it was originally supposed to a ballad, so we’ll see if that’s still the case or whether she’s picked another song.
Posted by: dannjohn 26th October 2022, 02:31 PM

I think so as after it was announced she left she posted a story about how happy she was after listening to her album. I wouldn’t be shocked if she bought the songs she wanted.
Posted by: Slayer 27th October 2022, 12:54 PM
Jesy just followed back Little Mix's former designer/dress maker Su Haines.
She also designed some Confetti Tour outfits and I can see she has done some casual outfits for Jesy in the past.
Posted by: JustCarolHoney 27th October 2022, 10:38 PM
Hi my huns
Do we think the album we will be out earlt next year or just a single? I have a feeling Jessie is DOA, unless when she releases her album she does like 10 vinyls. She could do different colours, different poses. She could do it so if you buy all 10 it makes her face up. Like one eye on one of the vinyls. Her lips on one... no her lips are too big to fit on one. Maybe one vinyl for each lip? She could easily boost her album sales like that!
Also do we think any of the mixers will support her after all the drama? And if so, what percent? This next single is make or break in my opinion. Do we think she might be a judge on x factor? Have the judges been announced yet?
Just Carol Honey ❤️
Posted by: Slayer 28th October 2022, 06:27 PM
Jesy appears to be teasing something on instagram.
Not sure if it is a boyfriend, music video related or whether it is her and a person she is possibly collaborating with.
We know she said she'd be teasing and she'd be filming the video real soon. The glass makes me think bf?
Jesy is making her own home recording studio and saying she’s going to learn how to record everything herself. It’s nice seeing how passionate she is, writing so much, producing her own songs for this album already.
It’s really interesting to see all of her little mix plaques and awards too!
Posted by: One_For_Sorrow 4th January 2023, 07:12 PM
It’s great to see she’s so passionate and setting up her own studio. I do get the feeling that an album might still be a fair way away though.
Posted by: Slayer 5th January 2023, 10:42 AM
Republic Records posted Jesy on their Instagram. Is it possible for her to still be signed to them in the US but independent in the UK? I thought this was odd!
Republic Records posted Jesy on their Instagram. Is it possible for her to still be signed to them in the US but independent in the UK? I thought this was odd!
Boyz did absolutely nothing in the US. I don't see why Republic would choose to keep her. My guess is that the intern responsible for the Instagram account didn't get the memo that Jesy is not part of their roster anymore.
Jesy has started following Music Video Director Charlie Sarsfield and he has followed her and her manager back. He has also liked a post about working with Jesy.
He has Directed videos for Stormzy, Rita Ora, Mabel, George Ezra and more.
Jesy filmed a music video in December which she and her ex Harry directed. She posted videos of her editing the video afterwards. She also teased last week another song may be coming before 'Cried Out'.
Looks like she may have two music videos ready? I wonder if the Charlie one is her jumping on a collab?
She posted a photo in some sort of studio earlier today and posted a selfie saying today was an 'exciting' day:
I think it's a bit overdramatic to say the boat has sailed for them solowise - I feel like radio will probably give each of them at least one shot with their first single, but they better be good essentially. Jesy will obviously struggle after the Bad Boys disaster though; I think it'll take a lot for radio to support her again but it will all come down to how good her management is.

Agree, I think things have changed from 20-25 years ago. It’s not as essential to rush something out anymore.

Jesy is on some sort of shoot today - possibly album shoot?
She is on a shoot with the people who worked on Adele’s creative campaign for ‘30’. Jesy’s manager posted that she was on a shoot and tagged the person who worked on that campaign.
She also confirms the music video for the song ‘Cried Out’ that she filmed in December is no longer the next single.
She also has said she’s changed a lot of the sound of the album.
Posted by: tommie 12th June 2023, 03:05 AM

She'll run out of money at this rate.

Changed direction again!? I guess commercial success is what she is chasing afterall not making music for herself as she claimed.
Posted by: Slayer 30th June 2023, 04:17 PM
Jesy’s announced a break from social media to go travelling the world over the summer.
It is actually so nice to see her putting her mental health first and doing whatever she wants. She’s said recently she’s struggling with social media so isn’t on it much anymore, so fair play she’s going to take a longer break.
It’s sad she had to turn comments off but it makes me happy she’ll actually be enjoying life.
Also I find it interesting she separates ‘work’ and music, I wonder if she’s going to do non-music stuff too.
I’ve spoke to Jesy, she said she plans to release more singles before an album. I get why she’s not releasing an album as it’ll be a waste of her money at this point as it is likely to flop unfortunately. She definitely just needs to keep releasing music and slowly building her fan base.
She said ‘Bad Thing’ is the lead and basically said to me BOYZ isn’t a part of this album and she wants a fresh slate from it. I love Bad Thing and am rooting for Jesy, her voice is amazing and i've enjoyed both songs so far.
I actually applaud her for doing what she wants and genuinely putting her mental health first, it's been a long road for her.
Posted by: Billy. 1st July 2023, 12:00 PM
Realistically speaking, Jesys album is going to flop regardless and in all honesty it’s not going to see the light of day.
Posted by: sammy01 1st July 2023, 12:28 PM
Surely an album is the only thing she could be slightly profitable with? If Louise and Claire Richards can keep releasing solo albums they must make some profit with the multi format get fans to buy 5 copies way the album chart works.
She is no Melanie C who self funded the multi formats for her last album for a #8 peak and hasn't stopped playing festivals since.
2 more singles max and Jesy will be done with music and onto something else.
Posted by: Yobnedor 1st July 2023, 12:32 PM
If Bad Boyz had been the slay she really wanted, thought, and hoped it would be, she 100% would be sticking with that sound. She is just trying to chase a hit and it comes across as false now.
Posted by: Slayer 1st July 2023, 12:37 PM
Chasing a hit? James.
She’s doing what lots of struggling artists do before releasing an album, releasing multiple singles.
If she was chasing a hit she wouldn’t be taking another break for her mental health to go travelling.
But yeah I agree with Billy it’s unlikely to do well whenever it comes out. However, as a fan I hope it comes out one day as I love her voice and loved the songs she’s put out, especially Bad Thing.
Posted by: Yobnedor 1st July 2023, 12:46 PM
Mate, if the two singles had slayed, she would not be going travelling now.

Posted by: Billy. 1st July 2023, 01:55 PM
It all sounds like she doesn’t have a clue what she’s doing. There are artists who don’t bother the top 40 but release music/albums and then go on tour yet she seems to just want to stop and start til something sticks. It’s a shame but it’s where she’s at, I wouldn’t be surprised to see her in the next series of Strictly etc then disappear into oblivion
Posted by: shadow2009 1st July 2023, 02:04 PM
I said this in the Leigh thread and it applies to her too but Jesy is the most obvious example of someone who wants to be a solo artist but wants to do the bare minimum when it comes to putting the work in to make it a success. Just showing up to Capital and Radio 1 for an interview on release day and doing two performances in 1.5 years isn't the work ethic of someone who actually cares about being a musician.
Mel C, Nadine Coyle and Una Healy are perfect examples of girl group members who leave their groups and hustle at every gig, festival and tiny radio station possible. They're happy to do medleys of their group hits. They're just happy to be on stage and doing what they love. Mel C funds all her own releases and Nadine has literally done gigs at bingo halls.
Mollie King was the same as Jesy. She showed up to Radio 1, done a gig at GAY and then waited a year to release another single before abandoning it all and moving to Strictly and presenting. Leigh will probably go the same way.
It's frustrating to see and understandable in a sense because they worked their arses off in Little Mix but it doesn't exactly encourage me to support them or go all out buying from iTunes and signed CDs etc if they're just relying on their fans to spend money on them and they're not even bothering to do anything to justify a solo career in the first place.
Posted by: Slayer 6th August 2023, 12:33 PM
I don't know if this means anything but four songs have been registered on ASCAP with Jesy as a co-writer.
Heartbreak Hotel Cried Out Do You Loyalty
Cried Out is a song she filmed a video for in December last year. Heartbreak Hotel has also been rumoured for a very long time.

Isn't it confirmed that at this point Jesy just left? No big goodbye or anything, her Management just informed them?
I don't think Jesy, or her fans actually, have the right to be playing the victim - LM3 stated that Cut You Off was the result of therapy, and given what we know, there was nothing scathing in that song. It's just how it is. They had to cut her off to move on.
Meanwhile this song is talking of "spreading rumours" and that there's a false narrative or whatever, meanwhile we literally know that this was all caused because LM3 approached Jesy about her excessive tanning. And Leigh (who this song is aimed at) hasn't perpetuated any rumours. She's actually been incredibly more graceful than she should have been IMO.
It's a very childish result from a very childish woman. She doesn't have a leg to stand on and going down this route is not going to do her any favours.

I've seen nowhere where this has been confirmed.
The rest of your post is hypocritical, if they make a harsh song about her she can write one about them. It is beyond hypocritical to claim she's childish but the others are not for 'Cut You Off', it is quite clear you're just saying this because you don't like her (and no-one is forcing you to) but enough of this double standards because it is absolute BS. You'd have to be incredibly naive to not expect a response to what happened and 'Cut You Off'.
I'm not sure what is graceful about DM'ing influencers to bad mouth Jesy and spread hate, but hey we'll just go in circles.
At the end of the day we do not know what happened, only they do. She is within her right to do a song about them, especially if they have made a scathing one about her. They have given their account, let her give hers.
We don't even know if it'll get released, I hope it does, it sounds like a bop like 'Cut You Off'.
She has set up a broadcast channel to speak to fans directly. She has also set up a Threads account.
She said something is in the works and that something is planned for 2024. I don’t think there’ll be an album as in another screenshots she seemed to avoid saying album but saying to expect something. Maybe an EP on streaming?

I can see the other three releasing albums personally, however unfortunately I do not see Jesy.
I feel like she knows her music career is over and that's why she's just travelling and doing what she wants. She seems happy so fair play to her, but I hope she does release music soon as i've enjoyed the music and the snippets she has put out there.
But I can't get over the whiteboard in the back.
Especially when the people saying this will be the first people to check out her new music.
