Key item features

The 2011 winners of Britain's The X Factor TV show, four-piece girl group Little Mix deliver a slick, high-energy mix of dance-oriented pop music with their debut full-length album, 2012's DNA. Showcased here are the soulful vocals (and various British accents) of Jade Thirlwall and Perrie Edwards from the coastal town of South Shields, Jesy Nelson from the East London neighborhood of Romford, and Leigh-Anne Pinnock from the High Wycombe area of Buckinghamshire. Working with a bevy of big-name producer/songwriters including Steve Mac (the Wanted, the Saturdays, JLS) and TMS (Professor Green, Emeli Sande) as well as Jon Levine (Nelly Furtado, Selena Gomez), Diplo, and others, Little Mix deliver a fun, catchy mix of pop songs that showcases the slight differences in each member's personality and vocal style while never detracting from the overall girl group aesthetic. To these ends, we get a handful of truly catchy, infectious cuts including the pounding, electronic-infused title track, the yearning, Rihanna-esque ballad "Always Be Together," and the flirty female empowerment anthem "How Ya Doin'?," which sounds a lot like Beyonce fronting the '90s acid-jazz R&B ensemble the Brand New Heavies. Ultimately, while DNA certainly makes good on Little Mix's promise of updating the '90s sound of En Vogue and TLC, it's also just a solidly enjoyable, radio-ready pop album. ~ Matt Collar, Rovi

Great Voices

I've known Little Mix since April of last year and I've seen the hard work they put into everything that they do. It's no surprise they've made it big in the UK, they have great voices that leave you in utter shock. What you hear when they sing live is 100x better than the original recordings on the album. Little Mix is definitely one of the few artists out there that actually have talent, which is no surprise because they won The X Factor 2011. DNA has songs that range from preppy pop such as "Wings" and "Stereo Soldier" to dark and mysterious such as "DNA" and "Madhouse". No doubt there is a song for everybody that is sure to keep it stuck in their head. Overall, DNA is an album that can be heard and liked by anyone, and is sure to not be forgotten anytime soon.
