Perrie Edwards' solo music is going to 'blow everyone's minds'
She's been working on new music
Last updated 10th Aug 2022
With Little Mix on a hiatus, and bandmate Leigh-Anne Pinnock already teasing new music, we've now been given an update on what Perrie Edwards has in store for fans from her solo music. According to longtime Little Mix songwriter Kamille, Perrie's new music will 'blow everyone's minds'.
Perrie has been working with Kamille, who has co-written over 30 songs for Little Mix, including hits such as 'Salute', 'Black Magic' and 'Shout Out To My Ex', as well as with Steve Mac, who is best known as a co-writer and producer on many of Ed Sheeran's songs, namely 'Shape of You'. They are also joined by songwriter and producer Fred again..., and with this team behind the scenes, it looks like we could be set for some fantastic hits from Perrie.
Speaking to officialcharts.com, Kamille spoke about what we can expect from Perrie's music, saying: "They’re just so early in their discovery of what they want to do.
"There’s so many things that they’re interested in. The best thing right now is that we’re having fun discovering. Hearing their voices on stuff you wouldn’t typically hear it on is just sending me.
"It’s so, so exciting for me. Can you imagine, as someone who’s used to just one thing with them? I couldn’t even pinpoint it, but just know it’s going to blow everyone’s minds."
She also spoke about what it was like to work with the mum-of-one, saying: "Perrie will get in the booth and she’ll be so worried and insecure. Even when I was with her the other week with Steve Mac, she got into the booth and was like ‘I don’t know if I can do it.’
"I looked at her and I was like ‘are you actually serious? Your voice is one of the best voices I’ve ever heard, hands down.’ She’s incredible. She doesn’t even know how good she is, and that’s one of the most beautiful things about Perrie; she’s so humble."
She added: "It’s been so exciting to be making music with her. I can’t wait for you guys to hear it all done. As you know, there’s so much more to come from her".
We were given a glimpse behind the scenes when Perrie shared a photo from the studio back in July. The singer excited fans by sharing a clip to her Instagram Story originally posted by Little Mix songwriter Kamille, saying: 'This sounds. so. good'.
