Jade Thirlwall has said she cannot believe the resurgence of her debut single Angel Of My Dreams, which went viral after Kylie Jenner walked to the track during the Victoria's Secret Fashion Show. The former Little Mix singer released the song in 2024, and it was nominated for Song of the Year at last year's BRIT Awards.
Streams soar after Kylie Jenner catwalk moment
In recent days, the track has seen a huge rise in popularity thanks to Kylie Jenner, who walked to the song during the Victoria's Secret Fashion Show. The moment, which saw Kylie walk in the iconic Fantasy Bra on October 18, led to a dramatic increase in streams. The song had 18,000 streams in one day across the United States, which shot up to 284,000 after Kylie appeared on the catwalk – a rise of 1,434 per cent.
Angel Of My Dreams later entered Spotify's US Daily Top Songs at Number 197, two years after its release.
Jade's reaction and advice
Speaking to the Mirror at the Mercury Prize Awards, Jade said: "It's just been mental and I can't believe what's been going on." She also shared advice for younger women, adding: "Always believe in your dream and keep practising. You have to believe it more than anybody else."
Mike Sabath, who produced the track, also spoke to the Mirror, saying it was "crazy" to have two bodies of his work nominated at the awards. He was nominated with Raye's This Music May Contain Hope. Mike said: "It's crazy. I mean, England has been so good to the artists I work with and me, so I'm stoked."
Speaking about Angel Of My Dreams, he added: "I've loved that song. England held it down with that song." Mike did not know the song was on the US Spotify charts, saying: "Let's go! I just learned that right now. And that's very nice!"
Mike Sabath on his upcoming work
Mike could not reveal much about his future plans, saying: "I've been very lucky – I'm working with some of the artists I've always wanted to work with. I've learned that when you do that, you have to sign an NDA, so I'm currently NDA'd up. I mean, me and Jade are locked in on the new record, which is going crazy. Raye and I... There's things."
Speaking about being in Newcastle for the Mercury's, Mike said: "I've heard of the Mercurys for years. You know, as you can tell from my accent, I am American. But across the pond, I've been hearing about the Mercurys for many years, since I was younger. It was always like this kind of mystical, magical, very prestigious award. I'm super honoured to be here. I mean, I've got two albums of the year tonight, so it's very, very special."
Jade had given Mike an insight into the North East, with him explaining: "The people are good here. I love the people here, and the accent's a little different. A little different. I'm trying to tune my ear, but I'll do my best. I love these nights 'cause I like to see everybody. I like to hang with the community, and it'll be great to see Jade... I mean, it's going to be so fun to see Jade, and be with Raye, and just kind of also get to meet some people I haven't met before."
