Perrie Edwards reveals new solo album features RAYE and Ed Sheeran
Perrie Edwards has revealed that her debut album is now complete, and features collaborations with RAYE and Ed Sheeran.The singer first found fame after winning The X Factor in 2011 as part of the girl group Little Mix. After 11 years together, the members decided to go their separate ways to pursue their own respective careers as solo artists.Now, Edwards has confirmed that her debut project is now officially completed and recently hosted private listening parties for both fans and industry professionals in London.As reported by Official Charts, who was in attendance for the listening party last week (March 7), the album sees the singer channel inspiration from the likes of Kelly Clarkson and Katy Perry, and create an album that feels like one made for a road trip with friends.Although the title of the album and names of the songs remain under wraps – barring the lead single ‘Forget About Us’ – it has been shared that the album was mainly recorded between her home studio and Weymouth, and features collaborations from two huge names.The first of which is pop legend Ed Sheeran, who not only co-wrote the aforementioned lead single but also joined up with Edwards for the second song on the album too.The second is hit singer-songwriter RAYE – who recently took the BRITs by storm earlier this month by taking home a record-breaking six awards on the night.

Edward Christopher Sheeran, MBE (born 17 February 1991) is an English singer-songwriter. In early 2011, Sheeran independently released the extended play, No. 5 Collaborations Project. After signing with Asylum Records, his debut album, + (pronounced "plus"), was released in September 2011. It topped the UK and Australian charts, reached number five in the US, and has since been certified eight-times platinum in the UK.

The album contains the single "The A Team", which earned him the Ivor Novello Award for Best Song Musically and Lyrically. In 2012, Sheeran won the Brit Awards for Best British Male Solo Artist and British Breakthrough Act. "The A Team" was nominated for Song of the Year at the 2013 Grammy Awards, where he performed the song with Elton John.
