She talked about how she felt leaving Warner Records to go independent in an interview with NME. “I knew I needed to leave my label and go independent. I was kind of butting heads with them, and it just wasn’t good.” She then met producer Clarence Coffee Jr., known for working with top artists such as Dua Lipa. At that moment, Leigh-Anne had a recording session with Clarence that ended up in this new team. Now, Little Mix’s Leigh-Anne releases her solo debut album My Ego Told Me To.
“I had so much to get off my chest,” she admits to NME. “And because I just felt so safe with [Clarence and his team], I literally told them everything that was going on. And Dead And Gone and Revival came out of that. Both tracks have such a different energy compared to anything I’ve done before – and more confidence as well.”
