Jesy Nelson says she cried listening to new album as she promises to spill secrets

Jesy Nelson has told her fans she cried while listening to her debut album for the first time.

The former Little Mix member took to her Instagram story to tell followers that her very candid new album will include things she's never spoken about before.

The 31-year-old has faced some set backs when it comes to putting out her first solo record but it seems like it could now be getting back on track.

Jesy wrote on her Instagram story: "Just sat here listening to my album in the car and I've literally cried my eyes out like a baby. I've honestly never felt more proud.

"I cannot wait to share it with you guys. There's things I've written on there that I've never ever spoken about, I've poured my heart and soul into this and I just hope you love it as much as I do and the people that have worked just as hard on it with me."

Jesy recently announced that she would be splitting from record label Polydor.

She had signed a major solo deal with the record label, who also look after Sam Fender and Billie Eilish, in May last year but only released one single, before they parted ways.

The star released divisive track Boyz - which peaked at No 4 in the charts - on a wave of publicly, but her other music and album have been delayed.

However, it is thought that Jesy is in talks with other companies to join their record labels.

A source told The Mirror that Jesy and the UK-based record label were on good terms but were going in different directions with their ideas for Jesy's music.

The source told us: "Jesy decided it was the right time for her to make a clean break. She and the label have been going in different directions in recent months."

Meanwhile, a spokesperson for Polydor told us: "Polydor have amicably parted ways with Jesy. We have enjoyed working with her and everyone at the label wishes her nothing but the best for the future."

However, since the announcement that she was splitting from Polydor, Jesy shared another Instagram story where she told her fans how much she loved them.

She wrote: "Just wanted to come on here to tell my fans I love you all so much and I could not have been on this journey without you all. You guys keep me striving to work even harder and I honestly cannot wait to share this next chapter with you."

Back in December 2020 Jesy announced that she would be leaving Little Mix after finding fame in the girl band when she competed in The X Factor.

She decided to leave when she found being in the band for nine years had taken a toll on her mental health.

Jesy said at the time: "The truth is, recently being in the band has really taken a toll on my mental health.

"I find the constant pressure of being in a girl group and living up to expectations very hard."
