Little Mix – Boy: New music
Following the Neptunes-influenced current single, Little Mix have turned their attention to Timbaland on this new album track
A few weeks ago a girlband called Miss Dynamix were booted off The X Factor to the general surprise of no one other than Simon Cowell.

Since then they’ve had a couple of UK number 1 singles, released the amazing DNA and had a top 5 album in America, the latter feat breaking a slightly convoluted-sounding chart record previously held by the Spice Girls.
