If you thought JADE ’s debut solo single “Angel Of My Dreams” was already a hit, just wait until you hear the haunting new “S.A.D. version” – a slowed-down, angelic, and dramatic reimagining of the track that’s sure to give you chills as soon as you hit the play button.
Released on August 9, the “ Angel of My Dreams (S.A.D. – Slow. Angelic. Dramatic)” version takes the original pop banger and transforms it into a powerful, piano-backed ballad that showcases JADE’s vocal prowess in a whole new light. And as if that wasn’t enough, JADE (aka Little Mix’s Jade Thirlwall) also dropped a live performance video (directed by Theo Adams & Sophie Muller) where she plays the part of a disdained bride, wrapped in a white corset and veil, delivering the song under a spotlight.
The new rendition, produced by Starsmith and co-written with Steph Jones, Pablo Bowman, and Mike Sabath, brings a whole new emotional depth to the song. Fans are already raving in the comments section of the video, with one admirer proclaiming, “Jade isn’t just a singer, she is a very clever woman who knows how to make a real and true masterpiece.” Another fan gushed, “This is not a song, this is a show… a frickin musical.” And one of our favourite comments sums it up perfectly: “Where is JADE’s Oscar and BAFTA?! Because that was ART! Just when you thought the song couldn’t get any better… Slow. Angelic. Dramatic!”
Since its initial release in July, “Angel Of My Dreams” has been nothing short of a runaway success. With over 15 million streams to date, the track debuted at No. 7 on the UK Official Singles Chart, marking the third-highest new entry for a British artist this year. The original music video, where JADE rocks 11 different looks, held the No. 1 spot on YouTube’s trending chart for an impressive 10 days.
And if you need a refresher on why everyone’s talking about JADE’s solo career, just take a look at what Rolling Stone UK had to say: “This is a song that starts with the most distinctive of left-turns…and it’s a reflection of the bold vision that Thirlwall wanted to put across on her first ever solo outing.” The “S.A.D. version” of “Angel Of My Dreams” isn’t just a remix; it’s a reinvention. JADE’s ability to completely transform the track while keeping its core emotion intact is a testament to her artistry and creativity. Whether you loved the original or are just discovering it now, this new version is a must-listen.
So, what’s next for JADE? With this latest release, she’s solidified her spot as a solo artist to watch. But knowing her, she’s probably got even more surprises up her sleeve – and we can’t wait to see what she does next.
