Little Mix Hiatus
The singer, who goes by Leigh-Anne, is an alum of the "X Factor" and is a member of the British girl group Little Mix.
After several years of releasing music and touring, Little Mix decided to put a pause to their group activities to pursue solo music careers, and focus on their personal lives as well.
Following this break, Leigh-Anne signed with Warner Records, Jade Thirlwall signed with RCA Records, while Perry Edwards signed with Columbia Records.
Leigh-Anne is the first of the three to gear up for her solo career, as Jade is working on her music and has been writing songs for other artists, like KPOP sensation group Twice's "First Time", and Britney Spears and Iggy Azalea's "Pretty Girls."
Meanwhile, Edwards remains chill with her pace in her solo career. She is in no hurry, as she is also a mother to a baby boy.
"My label [Columbia Records] have told me to just go with the flow and enjoy discovering what my sound is going to be," she explained in an interview.
"The fact there's no deadline in my life just makes me the happiest person. I feel so lucky to just be having fun."

'Dont Say Love'
According to reports, Leigh-Anne's debut has been in the works for quite some time now.
Ed Millett, the singer's manager, revealed that everything has been hectic behind the scenes thanks to all the photography sessions and filming.
"The music is absolutely sensational, and she is a dream to work with," he said. "She's incredibly ambitious and what's been exciting about this process is it's not her carrying on doing Little Mix pop tunes as a solo artist; this is the birth of a new global artist."
It seems like all eyes are on Leigh-Anne, the very first Little Mix member to launch her solo career--except maybe if the former member, Jesy Nelson is counted, then she is the second.
Nelson left Little Mix before the hiatus to pursue a solo career. So far, the singer has released two singles.
