Last night X Factor winners Little Mix took part in a Google+ Hangout session, answering questions from fans as well as talking about their favourite songs from new album Salute.
Speaking of the new material, singer Perrie Edwards said “I’d say it’s a bit more mature, R&B, even more vocal harmony, we went in on this album, we wrote more on this album than the last album so we’re very proud of it and I’d say it’s versatile but it still has that Little Mix sound so you’s are going to love it.”
When asked how it felt regarding releasing their second album after knowing each other for just three years, Leigh-Ann mentioned that “It’s the weirdest thing ever but i can’t imagine my life without you [girls], it’s weird”, before Jesy adding in “It doesn’t feel like we didn’t know each other three years ago. We feel like we’ve known each other our whole lives.”
The girls also treat their ‘Mixers’ to some of their favourite dance moves (18:00) and at the end they perform a special acapella version of their new single ‘Move’ (from 20:50).
