October 15th 2025: Today marks a HUGE moment in pop history, as rule-breaking, trail-blazing British recording artist Leigh-Anne finally unveils the details — and release date — of her highly anticipated debut solo album, ‘My Ego Told Me To’.
Defying expectations and carving her creative own path, the record stands as a fearless, unapologetic celebration of freedom and self-expression.
Written by Leigh-Anne herself alongside the likes of Clarence “Coffee” Jr. (Dua Lipa, Beyoncé), Owen Cutts (Stormzy, Greentea Peng), Khris Riddick (SZA, Kehlani, Odeal), Fred Ball (Rihanna, Jessie Reyez), and rooted in her vibrant Caribbean heritage, the record sonically blends pop, R&B, dancehall, and reggae into a “powerful celebration of identity”.
Unfiltered and uncompromised, ‘My Ego Told Me To’ without question captures an artist letting go of who she once was, in order to become who she truly is — fearless, honest, and finally in control.
In a statement announcing the records impending release, Leigh-Anne says: “This album is the truest representation of me as an artist. Versatile, rooted in reggae and my heritage, but stamped with pop. It’s personal and impossible to box in. I wanted it to feel authentic, blending the genres I love with a sound that’s distinctly mine. It’s also a statement: standing by my art and doing it my way. These are songs I’ll be proud of in five, ten years, because they reflect exactly where I was. You’ll hear my world in it, my daughters, my marriage, my fight for power, and the moment I embraced my fire side and said: no more. This is my show now.”
Scheduled to drop Friday, February 20th 2026, the LP will include the singers most recent singles ‘Been A Minute’ and ‘Burning Up’, as well as her latest single ‘Dead and Gone’ which debuts THIS FRIDAY (October 17th).
