Jade kicks off the year with the release of her highly anticipated song “IT girl.”
“IT girl,” a bass-heavy, bold, tongue-in-cheek electro-pop track, is written by the pop star with Cirkut and Lostboy.
“There’s still so much that people don’t know about me, so I was eager to surprise people and poke the bear a bit. I have to write about what my experiences are. I’m not going to sugarcoat it. This is my reality,” she said.
In 2024, Jade won the Trailblazer Award at The Rolling Stone UK Awards. “Angel Of My Dreams” was named the number one of 2024 by DIY Magazine. It also landed on the Top 10 songs by The Guardian, DORK, Clash and NME.
“Angel Of My Dreams” has accumulated over 80 million streams to date, entering the UK Official Singles Chart at number seven, the third highest new entry for a British artist this year. The accompanying video was number one on YouTube trending list for 10 days and has had 10 million views. The song remained in the Official UK Singles Chart Top 20 for two months.
Since then, Jade has dropped two more tracks, “Midnight Cowboy,” a sultry, understated bass heavy bop about owning your sexuality and “Fantasy,” the sleek disco-tinged song complete with a video directed by the iconic David LaChapelle.
