Jade Thirlwall reacts to Hobbycraft Wimbledon's music video for her debut solo song
Hobbycraft Wimbledon have done it again
Hobbycraft Wimbledon has gone viral again after releasing their music video for Jade Thirwall's 'Angel Of My Dreams'. Jade released her debut solo single on 19th July, and you can hear it on Cool FM.
The song, is already a hit with many of her fans, and it didn't take long for Hobbycraft Wimbledon to work their magic on it. Taking to TikTok, the shop has now racked up thousands of views on their new video, and even attracted the attention of Jade herself.
Commenting on the video, Jade wrote: 'I’VE MADE IT!!!! 😭😍 incredible 🔥🔥🔥🔥', with the shop replying: 'Jade. When are you coming to lip sync with us in store. We need to make something ICONIC 🔥'.
Employees at the London branch of the popular craft shop shot to fame last year when they did an impressive music video for Kylie Minogue's 'Padam Padam'. Since then, they have continued to do music videos for several songs, and even welcomed some famous faces to their South London shop.
Earlier this year, Ella Henderson joined them to sing her hit 'Alibi', and in another video, Little Mix singer/songwriter, Kamille can be seen lip-syncing at the store.
Jade is the last of the Little Mix girls to release solo music, and recently joined Sam Thompson on Hits Radio, where she heard her music on the radio for the first time. Getting emotional, Jade told Sam: "I’m welling up! I’m being pathetic but it’s such a big deal for me – you’re a Leo you get it!
"I feel a bit out of my body at the minute, it’s a bit strange, I’ve waited for this moment for a very long time. Being in Little Mix was so special and I loved it so much, so coming out of that was a big deal for me and then writing this music was so special to me. This song, for me, is the perfect launch of my solo music and who I am on my own, so for it to be well received is just great."
