Gunna has stirred excitement among his fans by confirming that a collaborative album with Offset is officially “in the works.”
The Atlanta star shared the news during his Apple Music Live performance in Los Angeles this week, where he sat down with Ebro Darden for a conversation after the show.
When asked directly if a joint project with Offset was happening, Gunna responded, “Definitely.”
He added, “Yes, it’s in the works. But we are spacing it out. You know, he released his album, I released mine. I was on his, he was on mine. And I feel like that was sprinkles and breadcrumbs for us to give you that meal soon.”
The two rappers have already built momentum toward a full-length collaboration, appearing on each other’s most recent solo releases. Offset showed up on The Last Wun’s At My Purest while Gunna dropped a verse on Kiari’s Different Species.
Back in February, Offset hinted that the project was “cooking” when he posted a chef and meal emoji on X after a fan asked, “Where is that collab tape with Gunna. (sic).”
The pair have also teamed up in the past on tracks such as Prada Dem, Style Rare, Beat the Case, and Wild Wild West.
Jade Thirlwall has been learning to lean into a softer approach with her voice as she steps into life as a solo performer.
The former Little Mix member shared that she’s been carving out her own sound since the British girl group decided to go on an indefinite break in 2022.
Speaking with ELLE, Jade opened up about discovering that not every track on her debut solo album, That's Showbiz Baby, needed a full vocal showcase.
“That’s what I’ve discovered with this project, especially after Little Mix, is that I don’t always need to give a big vocal moment,” she said. “It’s actually been really nice to understand that part of my voice.”
She pointed to the group’s 2016 single Power, which has at times faced online comments about being a little too intense vocally.
“I’ll scroll through TikTok and see people talk about Power like, ‘These girlies are out here like, AHHH,’” she told the outlet. “Everyone trying to top each other with the loudest note for three minutes straight.”
Although Jade still loves that kind of performance, she said she’s learned the value of holding back.
“I still adore that energy, but it’s been kind of freeing to realise, babe, it doesn’t always need to end with this massive ad-lib run,” she shared.
She also mentioned that her song Angel of My Dreams was first recorded with a much bigger vocal take before she decided to go back and do it in a more relaxed, softer tone.
Jade officially dropped That's Showbiz Baby on 12 September. The record includes 14 tracks, among them IT Girl, Plastic Box, and the lead single Angel of My Dreams.
