Little Mix are nominated for Nickelodeon Kid Choice Awards 2017 in category ‘Favourite Global Music Star’!
In gallery you can see new mini photoshoot of girls taken for WWD:
The women of Little Mix — Perrie Edwards, Jesy Nelson, Jade Thirlwall and Leigh-Anne Pinnock — are stacked four across on a couch at NBC’s headquarters in Midtown Manhattan, attempting to argue that they’re just your average twentysomethings.
“We do what we want to do, we act how we want, we wear what we want,” Pinnock says, over the playful chatter of her bandmates. “We’re normal girls.”
Throwing a wrench in this claim is the fact they’ve just wrapped performing on the “Today” show stage for a dedicated pool of fans — many of whom have been eagerly tracking the band since its 2011 victory on the U.K. edition of “The X Factor,” the only group act to do so in the show’s history.
Five years later, three albums and worldwide success, the quartet are setting their sights on the final frontier: breaking the U.S. market. From Thursday, they will join Ariana Grande on the road for her “Dangerous Woman” tour to promote their fourth studio album, “Glory Days.”
“We’re so grateful for every bit of success that we’ve got — our album went to number one for two weeks, and the single ‘Shout Out to My Ex’ went to number one for three weeks [in the U.K.], and it’s just been the most incredible year for us,” says Edwards, serving as a ringleader of sorts for the group’s interviews. “So I think that’s why now we feel more driven and more determined to come to America and have the same kind of success over here. On the Ariana Grande tour, it’s three whole months in America, so we’ll be able to work our little asses off and hope that it’ll do well.”
Breaking into the U.S. with a boost from Grande is a full-circle moment for Edwards, who introduced her bandmates to Grande’s YouTube videos back in days of “X Factor.” “Obsessed,” Edwards says of the pint-sized powerhouse. “I remember the first-ever studio session — this is an interesting fact — we had together as a group; we were sat in there, just like whatever, writing and recording, and I was like, ‘Guys, you have to check out this girl called Ariana Grande — she’s on Nickelodeon and stuff, and she puts covers on YouTube — please listen to her voice, it’s insane.’ And now she’s, like, one of the biggest stars in the world.”
Despite their age — Edwards is the youngest at 23, and Nelson and Pinnock are the oldest at 25 — five years in the spotlight has given them more than enough experiences for solid material.
“I think what’s different about this album is we knew exactly what we wanted to do with it; we put our hearts in it and it’s such an honest album,” Nelson says. “We literally wrote about every experience that we’ve gone through in the last five years, whether it be bad or good. We think [our music has] matured so much more.”
In that vein, it’s the music, they believe, that makes this the right time for American audiences to take a liking to them. “I think we’ve just got the right song. ‘Shout Out to My Ex’ is undeniable, I think,” Thirlwall says. “And every time we have come previously, obviously we love all our music, but it just hasn’t connected enough to explode. Whereas we feel like this could be it. It’s just a matter of timing.”

Yesterday (01.02) girls were in Radio Disney and KIIS FM studio, Los Angeles. I’ve added two new albums to gallery with photos:
Israeli developer Ilyon is partnering with Idollz to develop the official mobile game of British girl group Little Mix.
The firm, which is best-known for its Bubble Shooter games and maintains an intense release schedule, is branching out into the celebrity game category for the first time.
How exactly does the partnership work? Is it a co-development?
While Idollz holds the connection with Little Mix and the license to publish a mobile game for the band, Ilyon Dynamics has the knowledge of developing successful mobile games.
Based on this, both companies came together to develop and publish the game.
We (Ilyon) have a dedicated team of artists, mobile developers and game designers that work on this game and cooperate with Idollz on the different aspects of production.
A few glimpses at the upcoming Little Mix game

“So many amazing things have happened this year that I am beyond grateful for and this is just one of those pinch me moments … I am so excited to announce that I am now part of the @maybelline family! I am honoured to work with a brand that understands and encourages everything that I stand for! I cannot wait for you to see what we’ve been working on!”
Jade is launched her first-ever fashion collection with Skinnydip! A lil mix of her signature style and the brand’s equally playful vibe, this ridiculously fun collab is everything! This new collab, she’s practically handing us her go-to vibe on a plate – think oversized ’fits, logo-loaded styles and cute vest tops.
With each piece in the collab, you can dress it up or down depending on the occasion/mood.
Leigh-Anne is launching her own bikini line, In‘A’Seashell with one of her closest gal pals, Gabrielle Urquhart, which serves up swimwear that promotes self-love and heavy helpings of body confidence.
“It all started as a conversation in Miami with one of my closest friends, Gabby, and she told me she wanted to do a bikini line and her boyfriend had bought her a sewing machine. I said, ‘seriously? Because that is exactly what I want to do!’”
