JADE Premieres New Song “Midnight Cowboy” on BBC Radio 1
British singer-songwriter and former Little Mix Jade Thirlwall, aka JADE premiered the second solo single called “Midnight Cowboy”, following “Angel Of My Dreams” on BBC Radio 1's New Music Show with Jack Saunders.
She co-wrote the song with British singer-songwriter RAYE, alongside producer Jonah Christian.
Also, Doctor Who actor and all-round cultural superstar Ncuti Gatwa joined in the song.
The accompanying music video was directed by Fa & Fon.
JADE said of the song, “I promised the fans wouldn't have to wait too long for more music...so I think it's 'bout time for the Midnight Cowboy. Written in 2022 by Raye and I, produced by Jonah Christian and featuring a guest moment from the one and only Ncuti Gatwa - Midnight Cowboy is a sultry, understated bass heavy bop about owning your sexuality and your talents that come with it.”- JADE told Jack Saunders about the song, “It was the first session that me and RAYE ever did together at least. So not a bad first crack at it. We've done a bunch together for this album, but we just got on really well. And to Jonah, my boyfriend Jonah, he also did some like additional lyrics for, like, the rap park. So I was like, I don't want to do this talky singing thing, and I need to speak to her, to a rapper, and get some good bars going here. He helped a little bit with that, which was cool.”
She continued, “I can definitely push a bit more creatively on my own, which is quite liberating. Like 'Angel Of My Dreams' was pretty, and 'Midnight Cowboy' is like, still different to what I've done before. And I think that's really cool. Like the rap being in the just kind of being more understated doesn't always have to be the kitchen sink thrown in, which I love to but for this one, I think it's a bit more understated, which is cool.” - source : Apple Music
