Jade Thirlwall to shoot big-budget new music video in Los Angeles

Jade Thirlwall will fly to Los Angeles to shoot a big-budget music video for her second solo single.

The former Little Mix star is set to team up with accomplished director David LaChapelle – who has overseen the videos for Christina Aguilera’s ‘Dirrty’ and the Britney Spears tune ‘Everytime’ – in what will be his first music clip for more than a decade.

A source told The Sun newspaper’s Bizarre column: “Jade is working flat out but still can’t believe her luck that David has agreed to head up her next video.

“She will fly to LA this week and then the video will be filmed over four consecutive days. They both have big plans for what they want to achieve.

“Like with her debut ‘Angel Of My Dreams’, Jade has full-on choreography planned.”

Jade released her first solo single earlier this year and described how she wrote her “best music” when she stopped worrying about trying to come up with a hit that would be ideal for the radio or something that would work on TikTok.

The 31-year-old singer told Rebecca Judd on Apple Music 1: “I think I’ve actually surprised myself creatively. I think the minute I stopped caring as much about like, ‘Oh gosh, what’s going to work on radio, what’s a TikTok hit and all this stuff’, I started writing my best music.

“So I think I needed this time to evolve and know who I am as my own artist.”

Jade explained that she had adopted an “experimental vibe” for her first solo album as female artists now have a lot more “creative freedom”.

She said: “There’s a lot of songs on the record that have that same experimental vibe. I’d say the record as a whole, to be honest, I definitely have a few of the kind of, I guess more straight down the line poppy songs on there, but peppered in with the chaos, that is my brain …

“I think there’s a really exciting time in music now where it’s evolved to a point where, especially for women in music, there’s a lot more creative freedom.”
