Leigh-Anne Pinnock is gearing as much as launch extra solo music within the imminent future, and sat down with Billboard Information to talk about what followers can count on from her upcoming LP, and why she selected to launch “Don’t Say Love” as a primary single.
“‘Don’t Say Love’ got here at first of the method, all the time knew it was a banger,” Pinnock tells Billboard Information host Tetris Kelly. “It sort of grew to become apparent fairly rapidly that it wanted to be the primary single, particularly with the which means of it, the concept of eager to be love wholeheartedly at 100%, I feel it was actually relatable to me, and I simply, ‘Yeah, this must be the primary one.’”
As for what her future album might feels like, Pinnock gave just a few hints. “I’m an R&B lady. Everybody is aware of that I’m an old-school R&B lady,” she says, citing Jagged Edge, Dru Hill, Immature and Ginuwine as a few of her favourite artists within the style. “On the similar time, although, I actually do wish to incorporate the opposite genres that I like, so we’ve got some reggae stuff on there. I feel I’m a pop lady at coronary heart, too, so I simply really feel like that stamp is all the time going to be within the combine.”
Although being a solo artist is a distinct expertise from being in a lady group, the “Don’t Say Love” singer is taking it in stride. “I don’t have my sisters to fall again on, so I do actually miss the sisterhood,” she notes. “[It also] feels so liberating and a way of empowerment to face by myself and know I’m doing this for me. It simply appears like the proper time. It feels so proper to me.”
Leigh-Anne — as one third of Little Combine — earned two prime 10 albums Billboard 200 with 2013’s DNA (No. 4) and 2014’s Salute (No. 6). Single “Black Magic” peaked at No. 67 on the Billboard Scorching 100 in 2015.
