Former Little Mix member Leigh-Anne has announced her debut album ‘My Ego Told Me To’ and a UK tour for next year.
The album, which will be her first album release as a solo artist, will be released 20 February and is available to pre-order here.
She also released a new single this morning ‘Dead And Gone’, which follows from her previous singles ‘Been A Minute’ and ‘Burning Up’.
Speaking about the album, Leigh-Anne said: “This album is the truest representation of me as an artist. Versatile, rooted in reggae and my heritage, but stamped with pop. It’s personal and impossible to box in.”
“I wanted it to feel authentic, blending the genres I love with a sound that’s distinctly mine. It’s also a statement: standing by my art and doing it my way,” she continued saying, “These are songs I’ll be proud of in five, ten years, because they reflect exactly where I was.”
“You’ll hear my world in it, my daughters, my marriage, my fight for power, and the moment I embraced my fire side and said: no more. This is my show now.”
Alongside the news of her album, Leigh-Anne also announced the ‘My Ego Told Me To‘ Tour which will include dates around the UK next April.
The UK shows will start on 7 April at Glasgow’s SWG3 Galvanizers before she performs in Manchester and Bristol, with the UK shows concluding at London’s O2Forum Kentish Town on 11 April.
Pre-sale will start on October 23, and fans can gain access by pre-ordering the album here.
General tickets will go on sale October 24, and will be available to buy here.

After the release of ‘Been A Minute’, Leigh-Anne sat with Rolling Stones to talk about going independent and kicking off a new era.
“It’s been the most freeing experience watching my vision come to life,” she told us. “For the ‘Been a Minute’ music video I wanted to create a space where everyone feels like they can be themselves unapologetically.”
She described the single as “the perfect way to introduce this new era.”
“It represents freedom, being fully in control and a sound that I feel needs to be heard and celebrated this summer. I didn’t lie when I said it’s the song of the summer, I dare you to try not to dance once you hear it.”
She also said that fans can expect to see a new side to her as she takes control over her career, “Everything done on my terms, taking more risks, worrying less about what people think and other people’s expectations of me. We’re coming to disrupt. No more miss nice girl…”
