Perrie Edwards is close to record deal with Columbia Records

Perrie Edwards is close to a signing a record deal with Columbia Records, according to reports.

The Little Mix singer, 29, is in advanced talks with the label, meaning that fans are getting closer to hearing the solo material she has been working on since her girl group went on hiatus.

A source told The Sun on Sunday newspaper’s Bizarre column: ‘Perrie is super-talented and label execs think she could be a global star.

‘They are very keen to ink a deal soon and talks have been ongoing. Perrie is bursting with ideas for solo material.’

Columbia Records is also home to music giants including Harry Styles and Beyoncé. 

It comes as Perrie recently admitted that she is really enjoying being in the recording studio working on her solo music, describing it as ‘so much fun.’

She said: ‘It’s all going really well. ‘I’m just having so much fun experimenting with different sounds. It’s really good.

‘I’m so lucky, I’m working with such amazing people. ‘I’m really grateful. I want to make music that I love.’

Songwriter Kamille, who has worked with Little Mix and been in the studio with Perrie, last summer said that the hitmaker’s new music will ‘blow everyone’s minds.’

She added: ‘Perrie will get in the booth and she’ll be so worried and insecure. Even when I was with her the other week with Steve Mac, she got into the booth and was like ‘I don’t know if I can do it.’

‘I looked at her and I was like ‘Are you actually serious? Your voice is one of the best voices I’ve ever heard, hands down.’ She’s incredible.

Kamille added: ‘She doesn’t even know how good she is, and that’s one of the most beautiful things about Perrie; she’s so humble.

 ‘It’s been so exciting to be making music with her. I can’t wait for you guys to hear it all done.

‘As you know, there’s so much more to come from her.’
