So the girls are officially working on their 4th album. So I thought I'd start the topic.

 

Here's an article from CapitalFM.

 

Yes. The girls are working on something BIG. *GASPS*

 

Little Mix say they have NO plans to go solo anytime soon and have confirmed they’ve already started work on their new album, which should be out “soon”, apparently! WHOOP!

 

The girls have been SLAYING it with all the hits off their third album ‘Get Weird’ which dropped at the end of last year, and have had some of their biggest hits to date from the record with tracks like ‘Black Magic’ and ‘Secret Love Song’.

 

And now the band have confirmed that album four is well on the way - and that an INCREDIBLE collaboration will be on the new release too!

 

“We’ve started working on the next album now, which is really exciting, so that should be out soon,” Jade Thirlwall confirmed to OK!.

 

“Hopefully there’ll be a few surprises on there, I actually cried when I heard a certain person wanted to collaborate with us,” Perrie Edwards added. “I can’t say anything yet in case it doesn’t happen, I don’t want to jinx it.”

 

And for any of you #Mixers worried that all the girls’ success might make them want to call it a day and go solo, it doesn’t sound like that’ll be happening anytime soon!

 

“We get along really well and like one another’s company,” Jade revealed to Straits Times out in Singapore. “It’d be weird if we weren’t together all the time.

 

“We have high ambitions and we’re not going to stop until we reach every goal and know we tried everything to be the biggest we could be,” she added. “We’re just going to keep going forever, hopefully.”

I am READY! I really don't know what I want from this album, but I completely trust the girls and have faith in the label that they will not drop the ball too much!

 

Excited about that collaboration. But I really, REALLY want a Max Martin smash!

If LM4 won't give us Salute teas, they can keep it.

I don't want them to go too Rnb, that sound clearly didn't connect with the public as much as their pop sound did.

I want a new sound. I liked it when they said they like to constantly delivers albums with an unexpected sounds. Just hope they don't risk it too much.

I'm really intrigued as to who this collaboration is to prompt that kind of reaction from Perrie, must be someone pretty big

Praying for queen Nicki tbh. I am convinced it will slay everyone!!

 

So hyped for album 4, don't really care if they go back towards developing a Salute sound, or advance the pop they've gone for with Get Weird or somewhere in the middle. it'll be undoubtedly flawless regardless!! :cheer:

Who are Perrie's influences? That'd be a pretty good place to start guesses. Wildcard but maybe Taylor Swift after their appearance on her 1989 tour?

I think I'd collapse if that happened! :wub:

I'm so here for t swift and LM to collab, omg

I've came to the conclusion for the lead single we need a DNA follow up which is an EDM/R&B

 

Something with a beat similar to Turn Down For What... or

Ohhhh,

 

The girls are in the studio today. :D

I still wonder if it's going to be a re-release though rather than album 4. I really wouldn't be surprised. If they tied it in with a tour DVD release it would be quite an attractive offer.

I'm beginning to wonder if we will actually get LM4 this year after all. They've got a few weeks with nothing (that we know of) booked until V Festival so that gives them time to fully focus on writing and recording LM4. It really depends whether they go for 2 pre-album singles or 1. I really hope it's two because the last time they went for an album release straight after a lead single look what happened!

I really don't see LM4 happening this year. It's month 7 already and no lead single coming soon. And I'd rather have at least 2 singles out before the album release. I wouldn't mind some new songs with the DVD

Ohhhh,

Not so sure why but their HQ lied. Perrie snapchatted herself at home working on her b'day decoration, Leigh is with some friends and Jadesy are nowhere to be seen. Perhaps that pic was from a few days ago

It's so funny when the HQ signs off the names of the girls when it's obviously not them!

Pictures from when they recorded/produced grown!

I can't see how we'd get a new album this year.

If we did get LM4 this year it would feel rushed IMO. Given they spent so long and took so much care with Get Weird I can't see how they would rush out an album this year. Bear in mind last year we got the first play of BM in May before it was released in July (a year ago tomorrow in fact) while they haven't even written LM4 let alone recorded it. IMO they're much better off releasing LM4 in the first 3 months of next year

I still think it'd be a good idea to release SOMETHING new this Q4. Gaps and breaks aren't too great in the fickle pop world. I honestly think a re release would be perfect.
