Jade Thirlwall has officially arrived as a solo artist, and That’s Showbiz Baby! proves she is more than ready to carry the spotlight on her own. Released via RCA Records, the debut album is a confident, ambitious, and unapologetically bold project that showcases Jade’s charisma outside of Little Mix. After years of anticipation, fans finally get to hear the star step fully into her individuality, and the result is a record stacked with bangers, and a clear vision for her new era.
For more than a decade, Jade helped define pop music as part of one of the UK’s most successful girl groups. Now, with That’s Showbiz Baby!, she sets herself apart with a sound that blends electronic, dance, and nostalgic influences while keeping her sharp pop instincts intact. The album leans into Jade’s love for theatrical, club-ready music while also offering moments of vulnerability and self-reflection. Tracks like “Plastic Box,” “Angel of My Dreams,” and “FUFN” are instant hit.
As a whole, the LP is a strong debut—arguably one of the year’s bestpop releases. The energy is highest in the first half, with a string of undeniable bops, though the final stretch leans softer, occasionally losing the high-octane spark that drives the beginning. Still, Jade has delivered a project that not only proves her star power but also signals the start of a long, promising solo career.
