Little Mix set to continue releasing new music as a trio in the Spring

Little Mix will continue releasing new music a three-piece, singer Leigh-Anne Pinnock has confirmed.

Founding member Jesy Nelson announced her departure from the pop group last month in order to focus on her mental health, citing “the constant pressure of being in a girl group and living up to expectations”.

Speaking to The Sun‘s Bizarre column, the band said that new music from the remaining trio – Pinnock, Jade Thirlwall and Perrie Edwards – would be on its way “very soon,” with Pinnock adding: “We’re working on something really exciting that will be out this spring, and can’t wait for you all to hear it.”

Little Mix’s ‘Sweet Melody’ is currently top of the official UK singles chart, their first song released since Nelson’s departure.

The group shared their excitement on Twitter, thanking “everyone who’s supported the song this week”.

“This number one is so special because the fans really fought for it. They’ve been downloading and streaming all week and we love that,” Perrie Edwards said.

“As a song, ‘Sweet Melody’ has built and built over the last few months, so it’s great for it finally to be at No1.”

Thirlwall added: “It’s also special because it’s our first number one as a trio. Starting off 2021 with a No1 is amazing,” as well as saying the group couldn’t wait to “be on stage, seeing the fans” when their tour resumes in April.

Little Mix's sixth studio album 'Confetti' became the best selling album in the first week by a British Act in 2020.

Jade said this was their last single as a four so i'm guessing they may swiftly move on from more singles from the standard version of Confetti as they do not want to remove Jesy's vocals - unless they put out a deluxe edition with a few new tracks as a trio and a new cover!

Little Mix changed their profile picture on all socials and on Spotify, to the one above of just the three remaining girls, Perrie, Jade and Leigh-Anne.

Omg yes thank you!! So excited for them and wish they were more popular here in the US as well

But I hope their new music explores sounds similar to Confetti and Gloves Up!
