The solo Little Mix star, who takes NYLON out for a drag show at 3 Dollar Bill, is winking at the pop playbook on songs like 'Fantasy' and “Angel of My Dreams.”
The newly solo Little Mix star is having a wink at the pop-diva playbook — and giving the gays everything they want.“I’ll probably get on stage and shake my little titties,” says Jade Thirlwall, her thick brown curls practically filling the cozy corner booth of this Bushwick cocktail bar.
Fans went predictably crazy for it, but the reaction that surprised Thirlwall the most was from other artists. Taylor Swift added it to herin a radio interview. Thirlwall says her DMs and comments were filling up with messages of support from pals and strangers alike, including Stormzy, Raye, Florence Welch, and Brooke Candy. “It’s the biggest response I’ve ever had,” she says.
She wrote “Angel of My Dreams” during another tense moment in her career, when the head of her label left the company mere months after signing her as a solo artist. An unsexy secret of the music industry, Thirlwall explains, is how much an artist’s career can live and die by whether their champion at the label sticks around.
“They’re not expecting full kat-kitty-kat-kat-kat choreo?” Thirlwall asks the car, doing half-hearted vogue hands. She confirms she can wing it. “It’s OK if it’s a little mess,” she says. It’s just another way she’s having a wink at the business of being a pop star. “One, I know who my fanbase are, and two, this is nothing I’m not into myself,” she says, laughing. “I actually wanted to push it further. I’m like, ‘Anal beads! Pegging!’ was like, ‘I think we’ll be OK with butt plugs and lubes.’ We talked about condoms, but when one of them splits, you’re in trouble, so it’s actually safer to do a butt plug.
