Little Mix Interview: On Their Most Personal New Song & Why Being Weird is Wonderful
Get Weird, U.K. girl group Little Mix’s third studio set, was released on Friday (Nov. 6), nearly two years after the quartet issued its sophomore album, Salute, overseas in November 2013. In a phone interview with Fuse, members Leigh-Anne Pinnock and Perrie Edwards say that the longer-than-expected drought between new projects was nerve-racking, but ultimately produced a better full-length.
“It was pretty scary for us to have such a big break,” says Edwards, who toured with the rest of the group in 2014 as headliners and as support for Demi Lovato. “It’s as if we expected to come back and not have the fan base anymore. Fortunately, we have the most dedicated, loyal, amazing fans in the world … We had a bit of time to write the album, find out what we wanted to do, what direction we wanted to go in. It’s been nice to have that and come back stronger than ever.”
“We didn’t want to rush anything,” adds Pinnock. “We felt like, if it wasn’t perfect, we weren’t going to release it. We missed a lot of deadlines, but I think it was worth it.”
