After establishing herself as one-fourth of the massively successful girl group Little Mix, Jade Thirlwall is stepping into the spotlight with her debut solo album, *That’s Showbiz Baby!*, set for release on September 12, 2025, through RCA Records.
The 14-track collection, clocking in at just 16 minutes, marks Thirlwall’s first major project since Little Mix announced their hiatus in 2022 after an impressive run that included six UK platinum albums and five number one singles.
Thirlwall, who signed with RCA Records and Full Stop management in March 2022, has already made waves with her debut solo single “Angel of My Dreams,” which reached number seven on the UK Singles Chart following its July 2024 release.
Since signing with RCA Records in 2022, Thirlwall’s solo career has taken flight with “Angel of My Dreams” reaching number seven on UK charts.
The track later earned a nomination for Song of the Year at the 2025 Brit Awards, where Thirlwall ultimately took home the Best Pop Act honor.
The album draws inspiration from Thirlwall’s childhood musical influences, including the Spice Girls, Madonna, Scooter, Diana Ross, and Cascada, resulting in an eclectic blend of nostalgic pop sounds and contemporary production techniques. Her sound also incorporates elements from the Arabic music she heard from her grandfather, adding unique cultural dimensions to her work.
This creative approach has already garnered Thirlwall recognition in the form of Rolling Stone UK’s Trailblazer Award in 2024.
Her collaborations with artists like Kesha and Confidence Man have helped establish a distinctive sound that maintains her individual artistic voice while exploring diverse pop styles.
Thirlwall has been committed to personal branding throughout her solo career development, carefully crafting an image that balances her pop sensibilities with authentic artistic expression.
*That’s Showbiz Baby!* will be available in multiple formats, including cassette, CD, digital, vinyl LP, and picture disc, with prices ranging from £13.99 for the CD to £37.99 for the picture disc.
Pre-orders have launched with exclusive merchandise options including signed variants.
Beyond her musical endeavors, Thirlwall continues her advocacy work as an ambassador for Stonewall charity, having received the Gay Times Honour for Allyship in both 2021 and 2025.
Her outspoken support for LGBTQ+ rights and equality has become integral to her public persona.
Following the album’s release, Thirlwall will commence on the *That’s Showbiz Baby!* tour beginning in October 2025, giving fans their first opportunity to experience her solo material in concert settings.
To maximize her reach, Thirlwall has strategically leveraged playlist pitching across multiple streaming platforms, ensuring her music reaches both established fans and new listeners.
