Jesy Nelson, Perrie Edwards, Jade Thirlwall and Leigh-Anne Pinnock of Little Mix (Ian West/PA) “You are always stronger when you bring each other up,” she said. “That’s always been our sort of vibe.” She added: “I think, now more than ever, women are really coming forward in the music industry. “Like Dua Lipa, Jess Glynne, Anne-Marie. It is the time when loads of female artists are really becoming massive, which is amazing.”
