LEIGH-ANNE RELEASES DEBUT SINGLE AND MUSIC VIDEO

 Louise Clarke from The Hub on iRadio chatted to Leigh-Anne about her debut single ‘Don’t Say Love’ with an accompanying music video via Warner Records out now.

As the first glimpse into Leigh-Anne's rebirth as a solo artist, ‘Don’t Say Love’ sees the singer show us a side to herself she is finally ready to share. Produced by Jon Bellion and Pete Nappi, co-written by Aldae, the track combines her smooth vocals with a high-energy, garage-infused beat, touching upon black music references.

Speaking on the track Leigh-Anne explains "“Don’t Say Love” is about no longer seeking external validation and regaining my confidence and sense of self in a world where I often felt misunderstood and unheard. This video is a visual representation of me finding my voice. I’m excited to continue to do so with my first love, music”

Directed by Emil Nava, the music video follows Leigh-Anne’s captivating journey. Navigating the vibrant streets, we are drawn into her internal struggle where she flickers between reality and fantasy, exploring the complexities of love. As each scene unfolds Leigh-Anne’s quest to find herself becomes more prominent. The music video starts with Leigh-Anne unmasking a braided hair sculpture with a love heart mouthpiece and culminates in a powerful moment, representing the end of an old chapter and the dawn of a new era, marking Leigh-Anne’s rebirth as a solo artist.

Growing up Leigh-Anne had popstar tunnel vision. In 2011, Little Mix were formed. The rest of that journey is, of course, history. 11 years later, Little Mix are one of the best-selling girl groups of all time as well as one of the UK’s biggest-selling acts, with over 75 million records sold worldwide, 6 UK Platinum albums and over 15 billion streams.

Ahoy, mates! Get ready to set sail on a remarkable journey with the incredible crew of Lilies on the Lough. Led by the adventurous Shauna O'Neill from Derry, this group of determined sailors is embarking on an extraordinary mission to raise funds for a fantastic cause, Children in Crossfire. And guess what? They're doing it while charting a course around the stunning shores of Ireland!

Their goal is as beautiful as the sun sparkling on the ocean waves – to build two life-changing wells in Ethiopia, providing clean water to children and communities in need. We all know how important clean water is for good health, and the Lilies have taken up the challenge to tackle this crucial issue head-on.

This Saturday, July 8, the Lilies will set sail from Fahan Marina in Donegal, kicking off an epic adventure that will take them on a voyage around Ireland. They've got their sights set on several exciting stop-offs, including Bangor, Howth, Dunmore East, Kinsale, Dingle, the Aran Islands, Clare Island, and Teelin. Talk about exploring the hidden treasures of the Emerald Isle while making a positive impact!

Of course, the Lilies know that sailing won't always be smooth sailing. But with unwavering determination and a true spirit of adventure, they're ready to conquer any challenge that comes their way.
