In this episode, Chris and Chantel Nicole go track by track through JADE’s highly anticipated solo debut, "That’s Showbiz Baby!" - her first full-length release since her time in Little Mix. With sharp songwriting, big vocals, and bold, theatrical production, this album is already making waves as a potential pop album of the year.We discuss the lyrics, vocals, concept, and creative direction, including standout tracks like “Angel of My Dreams”, “It Girl”, and “FUFN”, with contributions from RAYE, Cirkut, Lostboy, and more. JADE drops the “Thirlwall” and steps into her own chaotic pop universe - filled with synth-pop, electroclash, and full diva energy.Is this the strongest solo debut from a girl group alum in years? Or just a really fun, messy moment? Let’s talk.
