Leigh-Anne Pinnock’s debut solo single is “just around the corner” after she jetted to Turkey to shoot the big-budget video.
The 31-year-old singer and her team, who include video choreographer King O’Holi – who worked with the star on Little Mix’s ‘Sweet Melody’ video – headed to Istanbul last weekend to shoot footage for the track, which has been described as an “up tempo pop hit”.
A source told The Sun newspaper’s Bizarre column: “Leigh-Anne’s debut is just around the corner. Her talent is undeniable and so is her work ethic.
“She’s locked in rehearsals now to perfect her moves and to make sure the video is everything and more for her fans.
“The combination of the high energy dance routines and the dramatic scenery and buildings in Istanbul will make for a truly stunning video.”
Leigh-Anne is also said to have enlisted the help of dancer Joy Duckrell, who the star knows from working alongside her with Little Mix in 2020.
Last week, a music insider suggested that Leigh-Anne could go on to replicate the solo success of pop star Dua Lipa.
A source told the publication: “The music she has been working on is really impressive. Leigh-Anne has every chance to follow in the footsteps of Dua and become a superstar in her own right now.
“She is the full package.”
Jade Thirlwall and Perrie Edwards, Leigh-Anne’s Little Mix bandmates, are also set to release new music later this year.
However, the girls are keen to avoid any kind of chart war with each other.
In 2022, Leigh-Anne revealed she was busily working on new material.
The singer promised in a newsletter that she would give fans “as much music as [she] can” when she felt ready.
Leigh-Anne – who was working with producer Hit-Boy – said at the time: “I’ve been working really hard on music that’s coming together slowly but surely. I’m so happy with what we’ve made so far but I know there’s much more to do.
“I’ve been so lucky to work with some incredible songwriters, producers and creatives so far and I can’t wait for you to hear what we’ve made.”
