Jesy Nelson Talks Solo Music and Little Mix in the New Issue of The Guardian

Jesy Nelson is on the cover of The Guardian. The singer is on the cover of the magazine’s new August 21 issue.

In the issue, Nelson talks leaving Little Mix, her musical heroes, the meaning behind her tattoos, the early days of Little Mix, their transfer to RCA, her new solo music, and so much more. Highlights can be found below.

On her early days with Little Mix: “When we first got put together, before all the TV stuff. We were all living at Perrie’s mum’s pub in Essex and, I think for all of us, it was the most magical time. It was so new and we didn’t know what was going to happen. We’d just dream about what we thought it was going to be like. We’d all go to Camden and buy matching outfits. There was no bad. It was all good.”

On the band’s transfer to RCA: “It was just a bit shit because we loved our whole team. When Little Mix started out, and for a long time, we were very authentic. We’d go in and write together, but as we got older and changed label, we lost heart in it a bit. We were given songs and I hated them. I was like, ‘I don’t want to be on them – I don’t like the song.’ I don’t ever want to be an artist that puts out something I don’t believe in.”

On leaving Little Mix: “I did the music video and had a panic attack, and it was pretty mental that day. God, I haven’t really spoken about it and I’m getting upset. Sorry. After the video I just got back in a really dark place and ended up back in hospital. That was when my mum said, ‘No more.’ I had already decided. Then the girls spoke to Mum and said, ‘We think Jesy should come out of this now. She has to look after herself.’”
