Leigh-Anne Pinnock Signs a Solo Deal With Warner Records
Singer Leigh-Anne Pinnock, a member of the girl group Little Mix, just signed a solo record deal with Warner Records. In December of 2021, the girl group announced that they would be on hiatus after their Confetti tour in 2022. They have been together for ten years and reassured fans that they would not be splitting up; however, it is clear they want to work on some new projects, including solo projects.
The news was confirmed when Warner Records released a tweet welcoming Leigh-Anne Pinnock to the family. According to a UK news outlet, The Sun, “A number of labels were keen to bag Leigh-Anne but Warner seemed the best fit…Leigh-Anne unequivocally loves Little Mix and always will, but the truth is she’s been ready to branch out on her own for some time.”
Delighted to welcome Leigh-Anne Pinnock to the Warner Records family! ❤
