Pop star Jade felt ‘weight lifted off her shoulders' as she reached major milestone
Pop star Jade has spoken of how hitting a major life milestone helped her to begin opening up about her true feelings. The former Little Mix singer turned solo artist is currently preparing to release her debut album, following the success of singles such as 'Angel of My Dreams' and 'FUFN (F*** You For Now)'. 'Literally the minute I turned 30 it was like a weight lifted off my shoulders and I stopped caring so much about what people think,' she told Puss Puss magazine in a recent interview. 'Which is lucky, because I feel like now I'm on my own, I'll obviously get more scrutiny. There's more of a magnifying glass.' She continued: 'I think people still expect me to look like the 20-year-old girl that I was, but obviously, my body has changed.' Now 32, Jade said she was keen for the album to be released, as it would mean she could start writing new material. 'I wanted this album to literally sound like I'm finding myself again, and I think you can hear that sonically,' she said. 'I wanted the fans to be let in on that experience because that's the truth, that was the process of this album – figuring out what my sound is.' Jade is scheduled to make a number of live appearances this year, including Mighty Hoopla festival in London next month. The Mighty Hoopla announcement arrived shortly after the release of her latest single 'IT Girl', a dance-pop number that she described in an interview with The Independent as ''Angel of My Dreams's c***y little sister'. 'There's still so much that people don't know about me, so I was eager to surprise people, poke the bear a bit,' she said. 'I did feel anxious about pissing people off or any sort of backlash, but I have to write about what my experiences are – I'm not going to sugarcoat it. It is, you know, my reality.' Meanwhile, 'FUFN' was written by Jade with fellow pop breakthrough RAYE and Dave Hamelin, and was first teased during a new Fendi campaign. 'FUFN' is the escalation of an argument we've all had, knowing it's not the end but feeling all the anger in the moment,' she explained. 'It's the channelling of female rage into a badass big pop banger.' Last month, Jade received the Brit Award for Best Pop Act, following a dramatic performance of a medley of her solo singles to date.

Heidi Montag to perform at Mighty Hoopla 2025
Heidi Montag will perform at this year's Mighty Hoopla festival in London, The Independent can reveal. The pop singer and reality TV star, 38, has been the subject of renewed interest this year, as she and her husband Spencer Pratt received public support after losing their home in the Palisades Fire. Fans swiftly began streaming Montag's music, including her debut album Superficial and the track 'I'll Do It', which became one of the top-trending songs on TikTok as the singer was urged to record new music. Pratt shared an emotional video last month after the 2010 album hit No 1 on iTunes, 15 years after its release. 'We spent all of our money on this album, Superficial. 15 years ago, three days ago, so January 10, 2010, it came out,' he said. 'We weren't trying to be reality stars; we were like, 'We are gonna make Heidi a pop star.' We were a team. Every night when you thought we were watching The Hills, we were in the recording studio working with the best.' Pratt continued: 'Every dollar we made from The Hills we put into this album, Superficial. And for it to freakin' finally get No 1 in America, 15 years after. Do you know how many times we've cried and how much regret we've had about spending all of our money and investing it and believing in Heidi's music even though we knew it was so good, and for it to finally come out and be a f***ing hit.' Montag, who will perform on Sunday 1 June at Mighty Hoopla, shot to fame while appearing in the reality TV show The Hills in 2006, starring in six seasons until the series ended in 2010. She and Pratt went on to star in shows including Celebrity Big Brother and Celebrity Family Feud. Other artists on the lineup for Mighty Hoopla 2025 include headliners JADE, Ciara, Kesha and Loreen, pop singers Jojo, Jamelia, Daniel Bedingfield, Kate Nash with the Royal Philharmonic Concert Orchestra, and Pixie Lott, drummer and singer G Flip, Vengaboys and Lemar. The festival will also bring back Queertopia, a specially crafted stage that will showcase 'the best up and coming names within the queer space'. Among the artists performing at Queertopia will be headliner Moonchild Sally, Turkish artist INJI, singer-songwriter Hannah Diamond and drag stars Barbs and Yshee Black.
