Formed on The X Factor in 2010, Little Mix enjoyed enormous success throughout their 11-year recording career before announcing their split in December 2021.
But the bandmates have suffered mixed fortunes since confirming their decision to leave the band to pasture.
Former member Jesy, who left the band in 2020 to prioritize her mental health, originally signed a solo deal with Polydor Records.
The two parted ways with the label in 2022 following a lukewarm response to their debut single, Boyz.
The singer later released his second solo single, Bad Thing, independently, but the song failed to enter the UK Top 100 Singles Chart.
Jesy has since scrapped her plans to release third single Cried Out in favor of a “quick banger” which she says is “me in a nutshell”, according to sources.
Speaking to The Mirror, a source said: ‘Jesy has been listening to her critics. She’s desperate to give fans something epic and she’s doing her best to find her authentic sound, but the sudden change has destabilized her side.
“Last year, it was believed that most of her debut album was finished – even the artwork was in place – but since then Jesy has made a big U-turn and everything is being reworked, even the aesthetics, as she doesn’t matches their new album. -tempo direction.’
In 2022, Leigh-Anne signed her own solo deal with Warner Records and released the debut single Don’t Say Love in June 2023.
