UK all-girl pop band Little Mix landed in the States this week to promote the release of their debut album, DNA, which has been a big hit overseas with hit singles “Wings” and “Cannonball.” Band members Perrie Edwards, Jesy Nelson, Leigh-Anne Pinnock and Jade Thirlwall—who won in the 2011 season of X Factor UK—greeted fans at New Jersey’s Garden State Plaza for their first-ever U.S. album signing and they couldn’t have been happier with the turnout. “I had an absolute blast today! The signing was amazing, thank you to everyone who came down! We love our little mixers!,” Perrie Edwards tweeted, with Jade Thirlwall adding, “Thank you so much to all the New Jersey mixers amazing first album signing here in America! Love you lots like jelly tots.” Given the recent success of fellow X Factor alums Cher Lloyd and One Direction, we expect great things to come for Little Mix.

Unique Independent Artists from Around the World
I am an advent Spotify user, and one thing Spotify helped me with was discovering new talents and artists from around the world.
We live in a Hollywood-saturated industry, and it’s often so hard to find good non-American artists.
This is a shame because diverse artists will open our minds and ears to new instrumentals, kinds of music, and melodies. These are my favorite artists from around the world who offer truly unique talents.
