Leigh-Anne has shared exciting new details about her upcoming album and tour.
On 16 October, the talented singer-songwriter — who memorably rose to superstardom as a member of the record-breaking girl group Little Mix — finally announced the release date for her highly anticipated debut solo album.
Titled My Ego Told Me To, the record is set to drop on 20 February 2026 and will feature immersive new tracks written by Leigh-Anne alongside some of the industry’s most prominent songwriters, including Clarence ‘Coffee’ Jr, Owen Cutts, Khris Riddick, and Fred Ball.
In addition to announcing her debut album, the Been a Minute singer unveiled the first set of dates for her U.K. and E.U. tour of the same name, which kicks off on 6 April 2026.
In a statement, Leigh-Anne expressed her excitement for My Ego Told Me To, describing the record as “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,” the artist explained.
“It’s also a statement: standing by my art and doing it my way. 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.”
News of the album comes two years after Leigh-Anne released her debut singles, Don’t Say Love and My Love, through which she adopted a new and immersive soundscape.
A year after their release, the beloved artist shared her first solo EP, No Hard Feelings.
Made up of six tracks, the genre-bending pop record — which incorporated her Bajan and Jamaican roots — gave fans a front-row seat to Leigh-Anne’s personal exploration of love, as well as her growth as a songwriter and artist.
Following its release, No Hard Feelings reached the top 40 on both the U.K. Album Sales Chart and the Scottish Albums Chart.
My Ego Told Me To is now available for pre-order.
