Jax Jones updates on Jade Thirlwall's solo music: "She wants it to be perfect"

In an exclusive interview with Official Charts, Jax Jones has given us a much-needed update on his work with Little Mix hun Jade Thrilwall for her forthcoming solo music.

As you may remember, last year we caught up with Jax about the swirling rumours that he'd been working with Jade in the studio on potential tracks to help launch her solo career. At the time, he teased that when Jade was ready, she would "unleash" her new material into the world.

Well, it's now the year of our lord 2023 and despite fellow Little Mix sister Leigh-Anne coming straight out of the gate with the garage-inflected banger Don't Say Love and we've yet to have any new music from Jade or Perrie, whose been teasing sessions with DJ Fred again... 

So, we thought it was our duty while chatting to Jax (for a full interview hitting Official Charts later this week) to ask for a much-needed update on where things stand with Jade's solo music.

"Jade is jokes, man," Jax tells us. "Me and her have very similar tastes. I just send her music and she’s like, ‘I love all of it. I’m gonna release all of these. So…what do we do?!”

The answer to that of course, Jax, is to release them all immediately. At once. 

Jax continued: "I know that she needs and wants to make [her solo music] perfect. She wants it all to evolve at the right speed. It would be really selfish of me to say, Jade, let’s just get this out.”

We actually don't think that sounds selfish at all, Jax, but that's just us. 

So as the Thirlwallassisance continues apace, Jade has also been spotted in the studio with Lostboy (producer of Kylie Minogue's recent smash Padam Padam) and Swedish hitmaker Tove Lo.
