JADE is opening up to PEOPLE about receiving early support from fellow British pop stars like Florence Welch and Lily Allen
The Little Mix alum reveals she owned one of Allen’s vibrators before they collaborated on a remix of “Beg for Me” earlier this year
JADE’s 2024 debut single “Angel of My Dreams” is currently gaining momentum after its inclusion in the 2026 Victoria’s Secret Fashion Show
JADE and her fellow British pop divas have supported each other in more ways than they’re probably aware of.
Before the Little Mix alum’s bombastic 2024 debut single “Angel of My Dreams” recently reached new heights of success after soundtracking Kylie Jenner’s $50 million Fantasy Bra runway walk at the 2026 Victoria’s Secret Fashion Show last month, some of the early supporters of JADE’s solo music included Florence Welch and Lily Allen.
Welch, 40, performed a cover of “Angel of My Dreams” for the BBC Radio 1 Live Lounge in November 2025, while Allen, 41, publicly praised the song before inviting JADE, 33, to collaborate on a remix of her West End Girl track “Beg for Me” in May of this year.
“These are artists that I looked up to,” JADE (whose full name is Jade Thirlwall) tells PEOPLE. “I used to sing in a restaurant, and I would sing Florence + The Machine and Lily Allen. So to see these artists now come to me and be like, ‘I’d love to work with you because I love your music,’ or just be genuine fans is so cool.”
In fact, JADE went out to dinner with Welch shortly after this interview. “It’s nice to have made a lot of genuine friendships off the back of mutual love for each other’s work,” she says, “and I guess it just tells me I’m on the right track.”

The “Plastic Box” singer worked hard to trust her instincts while making her eclectic debut album That’s Showbiz, Baby!, released in September 2025 — and she predicts that her industry peers took notice. “People can sniff that out, right? They can tell when somebody’s authentic or not,” she says. “I think a lot of the respect from other artists has come from being like, ‘Okay, that was brave, and I respect that of you.’”
“Lily’s such an outspoken, fabulously opinionated woman, so to get her nod of approval and then work with her was so cool,” adds JADE, who shares more commonalities with Allen than fans might expect. They’ve both released some of the same surprising and NSFW products as merchandise, including butt plugs. “Someone’s got to do it,” she jokes.
JADE released a butt plug to promote her sexy, disco-influenced single “Fantasy,” while Allen included one in a recent sex toy collection with Lovehoney inspired by the lyrics of her song “Pussy Palace.” It’s not the “Smile” musician’s first foray into the NSFW product space either.
“I don’t know if I told her this, but I actually had her vibrator before any of this happened,” says JADE of Allen. “She brought out one a few years ago. It was so good. I bought all of my friends one for Christmas.”
“So when she messaged me, asking me to be on a song, I was like, ‘Wow, little do you know, hun, you’ve inspired me in so many ways,’” she quips. “And here we are both with butt plugs as merch. I think that’s quite fitting, really.”
