BuzzJack Music Forum _ Little Mix _ Leigh-Anne Signs with Tap Music for Solo Projects
Posted by: jsweetxe Mar 9 2021, 08:04 PM
Pretty interesting! https://www.musicweek.com/management/read/tap-music-signs-leigh-anne-pinnock-for-solo-career/082789
Looks like the girls may very well be doing the Take That/Migos route, either with them disbanding and then coming back together further down the line or staying together as "Little Mix" and releasing new music and then having solo endeavours.
They really do seem committed to Little Mix and I'm guessing at this point RCA/Modest might be a bit more lenient and let them explore more options outside of just being in the group? Seems like the best of both worlds, being able to have the girls explore their own sound and music creatively and then coming back to Little Mix for their own music.
Exciting!
Thoughts?

Interested to see how this all plays out for them and whether it'll work. I'm hoping it does and we get new LM material every couple of years or so, but also having their own things to follow.
I just can't gauge how it's going to work because I'm so used to groups just disbanding, splitting or going on "hiatus" forever. 
But excited none the less. Especially for solo Jade or Leigh

Leigh is probably the one I’m most excited for solo-music wise as I know how much she loves her ballads- give us some ballad bangers sis

Honestly, i'm excited for whatever is to come for these girls! <3
I'd love if they took the Take That route and always stayed together but did their own things too and make albums every few years! We'd be so spoiled having LM albums and solo music from all the girls or whatever other solo projects they decide to do!

Well that's interesting! I'd be happy if they all decided to drop solo work, as long as we do get those LM albums every now and then. I'll support them all.

Blackpink is releasing both group records and solo stuffs and they are still going strong, without their fanbase panicking, so i'm sure Little Mix can do the same.

that's how k-pop groups work though- so it's nothing out of the ordinary for their stans.
western groups, especially commercial pop groups, have always been told that only 1 path is available to them and that's releasing music as a group and then breaking up, but Little Mix is easily one of the most successful "brands" in recent memory, so it's nice that they're reshaping the landscape for what musical groups can accomplish and do, especially girl groups.

TaP as in Dua and Lana's management? That's pretty huge for her.

Yep! I was so shocked too, especially as I thought they'd all remain with Modest for solo projects, hopefully Jade and Perrie venture out of there too, they all have so much potential.

hiiiii, super long time lurker! so so excited for Leigh, she's so deserving of it!
also, i was on tap music's twitter and I saw that they did like a tweet of jade back when The Search was going on. Almost definitely means nothing, i'm sure, but maybe we'll get announcements for Jade and Perrie in the coming weeks, even if it is with a different management company! i'm so glad they're at a point in their careers where they can start doing passion projects.

I hope you're right in regards to Jade and Perrie. Going back to an earlier post.. I guess the BLACKPINK situation can be considered very similar, despite that being the norm for K-Pop groups, it's really interesting to see if a Western group CAN do that too. Very excited about whatever is next.

Omg this is kinda scary for the future of the band with how things normally go when this happens to bands

Leigh will be on a podcast next with Callum, who does a lot of their photography! I believe he is the one who filmed/directed the Wasabi video and the LM5 Tour Film!
