JADE Releases Debut Album ‘That’s Showbiz Baby!’ to Warm Critical Reception

Early reviews frame the record as a confident, dancefloor‑driven statement from a newly established solo act.

Overview

  • JADE’s first solo album, That’s Showbiz Baby!, arrived on September 12 via RCA/Sony after a yearlong solo rollout.
  • Critics at Rolling Stone, NME and The Independent praise its bold, maximalist pop and JADE’s versatile vocals, highlighting a Supremes nod on “Before You Break My Heart.”
  • The release was launched on home turf with an impromptu Angel of the North performance that drew large crowds and a police presence, followed by midnight signings in Newcastle.
  • During the Angel of the North event, JADE addressed her Yemeni heritage and urged pride in the North East’s multicultural community.
  • The record features collaborators including RAYE, Tove Lo, Cirkut, Lostboy and MNEK, and a short UKIreland tour is scheduled for October 8–19 from Dublin to London.
