Jade Thirlwall on learning Arabic: “I’m trying to tap into my roots a bit more”

Jade Thirlwall has spoken out about learning Arabic in honour of her Egyptian and Yemeni roots.

The Little Mix member recently released her debut song ‘Angel Of My Dreams‘, which is taken from her forthcoming album. So far, the singer has not revealed its title or date.

Speaking to Rebecca Judd on Apple Music 1, Thirlwall discussed her hobbies post-Little Mix, with her telling Judd: “Well, I am learning Arabic. I’m trying to sort of tap into my roots a bit more.”

She then requested for Judd not to ask her to speak the language, adding: “I’ll just forget every single word under the sun!”

Thirlwall also revealed that she learned that “I’ve actually surprised myself creatively,” going on to say: “I think the minute I stopped caring as much about like, oh gosh, what’s going to work on radio, what’s a TikTok hit and all this stuff, I started writing my best music,” she said.

“So I think I needed this time to evolve and know who I am as my own artist.”
