tbhmatt Posted July 23 Share Posted July 23 I love Leigh and Perrie just as much as Jade and I actually think Leigh's music in particular is criminally overlooked (she has some really strong songs on her EP and is doing a good job of creating her own sound) but the reason why Jade is a level ahead in terms of "pop star" is because she has a much deeper understanding of her own sound, her core audience and most importantly how to enhance her music to become a moment. There's absolutely nothing wrong with that, either. Jade, Perrie and Leigh are fundamentally different artists to each other as individuals and they each have the opportunity to carve out their own lanes. They don't all need to be doing the same things to have high quality outputs with different genres etc, but if we're talking straight up pop/pop star then it's pretty clear Jade is in a league of her own. Personally I hope all three of them just continue growing and developing their craft as they are currently and continue to make music as I truly believe there's space for all three of them to do their own things. Comparisons are natural and people will naturally have personal preferences on who they think is releasing "better" music based on their own personal tastes and listening habits, but I think all three are in pretty good places at the moment and just need to keep releasing. 13 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Afterglow Posted July 23 Share Posted July 23 (edited) 13 minutes ago, Popboi. said: Love Pez and Lee but... girl Nah sorry, Nature and OMG are some of the best songs they've released (if we need to compare) and def earworms... You can play and listen to them anywhere without it being jarring and are serious "ayy" vibes, definitions of ear worms. It just might not be your type of music, but those are excellent songs. AOMD, while original in composition and exciting to listen to, aren't those things. But I love it. It's more bombastic and steadfast in sound which is what a lot of people (especially the gays) love about straight up pop girl music. Both are releasing completely different kinds of pop music and really can't be compared tho tbh, they are both releasing quality pop music that's what matters!

Exactly that. Each girl has a different sound and strategy. Comparisons are inevitable but as long as Stans don't fight against each other and as long as the girls are developing more as solo artists, that's fine.

Danai G Posted July 23 Share Posted July 23 I genuinely believe that the second single will be released earlier than we think, especially if AOMD remains stable. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Selegend Posted July 23 Share Posted July 23 "Wasabi" truly basically was a Jade solo single but under Little Mix insane if u think about it, such an artist. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tbhmatt Posted July 23 Share Posted July 23 This has seemingly peaked (for now) on Apple Music as it has slipped back down to #10 Nothing to worry about, could easily re-peak in the coming weeks if radio gets onboard with this. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Revel Posted July 23 Share Posted July 23 THIS IS THE BEST GIRL GROUP SOLO DEBUT SINGLE SINCE CRAZY IN LOVE! There I said it! JADE has the total package and magic of what it takes to be a major popstar! So proud to see her flourishing. 3 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hex Posted July 23 Share Posted July 23 (edited) This is fine - wish the drums/percussion was a bit more interesting. The whole middle section (I guess verse) also sound very dated and 2018. I really like the first and final chorus though. I appreciate her playing with structure. Edited July 23 by Hex 1 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Edibles. Posted July 23 Share Posted July 23 Never ONCE gave a single **** about some Little Mix songs BUT this is the best post girl group debut single since Nicola's Beat of My Drum. I'm very interested to hear Jade's album. The song writers and producers attached give me such high hopes and she seems to have a great concept of reference points. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Danai G Posted July 23 Share Posted July 23 I noticed that many YouTubers are reacting to AOMD (and the views are very decent). I don't know if Jade's label paid some for promo but we love the exposure either way. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Why Posted July 23 Share Posted July 23 I was never a LM stan but appreciated some of their hits and wanted the trio to do well after they broke up. Listened to Leigh-Anne and Perrie's songs and felt kinda underwhelmed, so when I finally got round to hearing Jade's today, from the first chorus right at the start I genuinely thought "oh another one…" But then the bass synth kicked in and wow, LOVED it. This is such a GOOD song and I hope it gains momentum over the next week or two! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
