Jesy Nelson broke down in tears while emotionally reflecting on the tougher corners of her journey in music.

The former Little Mix star has teamed up with her boyfriend Zion Foster to release new single ‘Mine,’ following a hiatus from the spotlight.

Since leaving the group before its disbandment in 2021, Nelson’s solo run has been quite the rollercoaster.

Indeed, what initially began with promise in the form of her top 5 single ‘Boyz’ with Nicki Minaj quickly lost its momentum when a public backlash erupted over “blackfishing” allegations.

Nelson would end up splitting with her major label within a mere matter of months and embark on an indie journey – only to release just one song prior to this point.

Recalibrating, the 33-year-old is on the promotional trail for her comeback offering and seized the moment to get candid during a fan Q&A.

Jade Thirlwall keeps the ‘Angel of My Dreams’ party pulsating with the release of a remix helmed by The Blessed Madonna. 

The Little Mix star flew into the top 10 of the Official UK Singles Chart with her debut offering and earned a wave of critical acclaim for her high-octane cut.

Rather than rest on her laurels, the rising solo star has been serving up fresh incarnations of the infectious cut.

Speaking on the release, Thirlwall said:

“I didn’t want to do a safe first single, that was really important to me. I’m setting the tone of who I am as an artist on my own. I want people to hear it and be like ‘what the fuck is that song?’. My worst nightmare is for someone to hear my song and go ‘that’s nice’.”

Kehlani may be busy prepping for the September kickoff of the ‘Crash World Tour,’ but that hasn’t stopped the R&B diva from making time to lay her golden vocals on the viral hit that bears her name.

Teaming with breakout UK star Jordan Adetunji for a remix of his drill-inspired smash ‘Kehlani,’ the 2x GRAMMY nominee has lent her talents to help the tune reach even higher heights on the Hot 100 (having so far peaked at #52).

“Working with Kehlani has been a great experience because I’ve been able to see her process, and how she sings, how she places things, and how she says her words. Even her just translating what I said on my song to her verse was just amazing, it was seamless,” said Adetunji about the song that features a prominent sample of Summer Walker’s ‘Potential.’

It feels great to all be in relationships, so it only felt right to drop a lover-girl anthem for the summer.”
