Jade is working on her second album and says she hopes to build on the sudden momentum.

In short

  • Kylie Jenner’s runway walk revived Jade’s 2024 single.
  • Global streams rose by 4,300 per cent.
  • Jade hopes to turn the attention into lasting success.

Explained simply

Jade is a British singer who first became known as a member of Little Mix, the group formed on The X Factor in 2011. After the group went on hiatus, she began a solo career, releasing “Angel of My Dreams” in 2024 as her debut solo single.

The song draws on Jade’s experience of the music business, including the pressures of fame and the role of record labels. Her story matters because it shows how a song can take time to find a wider audience, and how attention from a major fashion event and a well-known figure can introduce it to new listeners.
