Leigh-Anne Pinnock is embarking on a new journey after inking a deal with Virgin Music Group earlier this year following her departure from Warner Records, where her debut solo album was allegedly held back due to budget constraints. In a heartfelt social media post, the former Little Mix member revealed her determination to take charge of the album’s release after Warner Records cited financial limitations.
Updating her fans on Instagram on December 30th, Leigh-Anne announced her upcoming album, “My Ego Told Me To,” under her new partnership with Virgin Music Group. Expressing her excitement for this fresh start, she emphasized her readiness to steer the project independently, stating, “It will be a new chapter, and I just can’t wait. I’m leading this.”
Initially signed with Warner Records in 2022 for her solo venture, Leigh-Anne made the transition to Virgin Music Group in 2025. With several singles already out, her eagerly anticipated album is set to drop in February 2026.
In her post’s caption, Leigh-Anne exuded optimism for the future, anticipating more achievements, and empowerment. She encouraged her followers by stating, “You are capable. You are powerful. Don’t shrink for anyone. You are enough. You always were. Here’s to 2026, to my debut solo album My Ego Told Me To, headline tour, more love, more life, and more success.”
Supportive messages flooded in from fans, praising Leigh-Anne’s courage and expressing excitement for her upcoming album’s release. The positive feedback highlighted the anticipation for her musical endeavors in the year ahead.
This development comes shortly after Leigh-Anne’s former Little Mix bandmate Jade Thirlwall found success with her debut album “That’s Showbiz Baby,” released by RCA Records in September. Another ex-Little Mix member, Perrie Edwards, also made waves with her debut album “Perrie,” released under Columbia Records in September 2025, reaching number three on the UK albums chart.
