Jade Thirlwall recorded ‘cool music’ with Jax Jones that he hopes will see light of day

Jade Thirlwall is “sitting on a good song” she worked on with Jax Jones.

The Little Mix star hit the studio with the producer and DJ in 2022, and the ‘Never Be Lonely’ star says the pair made some “cool music” together that he hopes could be released one day.

He told The Sun newspaper’s Bizarre column: “It’s a good song. If she wants to use it, it’s there.

“Miley Cyrus and Pharrell Williams released Doctor, which was recorded years ago, so you never really know what will happen.

“But I know I have written some cool music with Jade, and we are still cool and we vibe.”

Last year, Jade was said to have penned songs with Bastille’s Dan Smith.

The pair are believed to have formed a songwriting partnership after attending a writers retreat together, and they allegedly came up with a number of tracks which have been offered out to other artists.

A source told The Sun at the time: “Jade and Dan have met each other a few times over the years when they’ve been at the same events.

“But they weren’t really mates until they ended up on this retreat together with a load of other songwriters and they teamed up to come up with ideas.

“They hit it off and produced some strong tracks. Some of them have already been offered to other artists, so it’s only a matter of time before they get snapped up.”

Jade is said to be working on her debut solo album after Little Mix went on hiatus while Dan is believed to be busy with Bastille’s next record, and the source suggested some of the songs they have written together could end up being used.

The insider added: “They have both been busy writing for their own projects too, with Jade making her debut solo album and Dan shaping Bastille’s fifth LP, so they could well pop up with those records too.”
