We don’t talk enough
About how Little Mix is a GRADE-A, PREMIUM, TOP TIER pop group. And this was not inevitable for them! Lest we forget, they were once an X Factor group by the name of Rhythmix, forced to put on the most chaotic, aesthetically 2011 (not in a good way) rendition of Ninki Minjaj’s “Superbass.” They could have spent the rest of their careers putting out low quality pop music and making bajillions like some of their X Factor counterparts.* But thankfully, our girls are actually artists…
And in 2020, like many of the girls, Little Mix gave us the perfect music to dance to. And nowhere to fucking dance to it. So it goes. But at least we have “Sweet Melody,” in all its infectious, rhythmic, surprisingly soulful goodness.
I could probably write pages on the evolution of the post-Spice Girls British Girl Group and how Little Mix is the fullest expression of its sex-positive, genre-mashing, United Colors of Benetton trajectory. But instead I will say:
“I LOVE LITTLE MIX! LOOK AT HOW HARD THEY WENT ON THE JONATHAN ROSS SHOW FOR LITERALLY NO REASON! I LOVE THAT THEY ALWAYS LOOK LIKE THEY’RE FROM FOUR DIFFERENT POP GROUPS AND IT STILL WORKS SOMEHOW! LEIGH-ANNE IS FLOURISHING IN 2020 AND SHOWING SOME REAL SOLOIST POTENTIAL! JESY IS AND ALWAYS WILL BE A JAMAICAN QUEEN!
Anyways, I’m a Mixer now ✨
