With her debut solo album Perrie, Perrie Edwards steps confidently into her own lane, proving she is more than ready to carve out an identity beyond her Little Mix legacy. Released after a period of self-reflection and recalibration, the record carries the sound of an artist who pressed pause when she needed to, stripped away the outside noise, and returned with music that feels fully authentic. The result is a cohesive and deeply personal body of work, brimming with sharp hooks, powerful ballads, and the kind of soaring vocals that have always been Edwards’ signature.
Perrie draws from a wide range of influences—there are nods to her rock’n’roll upbringing, flashes of ‘80s gloss, touches of country, and bold, unapologetic pop. But what ties it all together is Edwards’ storytelling and emotional depth. From the euphoric highs of “Pushing Up Daisies” and “Cute Aggression,” to the raw vulnerability of “Miss You” and the soaring balladry of “Rocket Scientist,” the album balances grit and glamour with remarkable ease.
The journey to Perrie wasn’t straightforward. At the end of 2024, Edwards admitted to feeling the pressure of rushing her solo career. She stepped back, reworked much of the original tracklist, and spent nine months writing and recording in her home studio, “The La La Room,” with a small circle of trusted collaborators.
Now that Perrie is here, one question remains: which songs shine the brightest?
