Review: Jade Thirlwall’s Solo Debut “Angel of My Dreams”
Written by: Keyali Mikaela
Jade Thirlwall has officially launched her solo career, and her debut single “Angel of My Dreams” is nothing short of a pop triumph. From the moment it dropped, it’s clear that Jade is ready to make a bold statement and carve out her own space in the music industry.
A Wild Ride
“Angel of My Dreams” is a high-energy, chaotic pop anthem that grabs your attention from the get-go. Produced by Mike Sabath, the mastermind behind RAYE’s breakout hit “Escapism,” the track is a rollercoaster of infectious hooks, unexpected transitions, and powerhouse vocals. It’s the kind of song that demands multiple listens just to catch all the nuances.
Lyrical Realness
The lyrics are where Jade really shines. “You only care about money / Sellin’ my soul to a psycho / They say I’m so lucky / Better act like you’re lucky, honey” – these lines hit hard. They seem to throw some serious shade at Syco Music, Simon Cowell’s label, hinting at the darker side of the music biz. It’s a love-hate letter to the industry, and Jade’s not holding back.
Visual Masterpiece
The music video, directed by Aube Perrie, is a feast for the eyes. It’s packed with stunning visuals that tell the story of a superstar’s turbulent relationship with the industry. The gluttonous villain ‘M’ ditching Jade for a new version of herself perfectly captures the song’s theme. It’s dramatic, it’s intense, and it’s impossible to look away.
Production on Point
Mike Sabath’s production is top-notch. The song’s frenetic pace and eclectic mix of sounds make it a standout. Every beat, every transition is meticulously crafted, creating a track that’s both innovative and incredibly catchy. It’s the kind of song you’ll want on repeat.
A Bold Debut
Jade Thirlwall’s “Angel of My Dreams” is a powerful start to her solo career. It’s bold, it’s raw, and it’s unapologetically Jade. The combination of personal lyrics, killer production, and stunning visuals makes this single one of the most exciting releases of 2024.
Final Thoughts
“Angel of My Dreams” isn’t just a debut single; it’s a declaration. Jade Thirlwall is here to stay, and she’s not playing it safe. With this track, she’s proven that she’s a force to be reckoned with. If this is just the beginning, we can’t wait to see what’s next.
