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. Working with a bevy of big-name producer/songwriters including Steve Mac (the Wanted, the Saturdays, JLS) and TMS (Professor Green, Emeli Sand?) as well as Jon Levine (Nelly Furtado, Selena Gomez), Diplo, and others, Little Mix make good on their promise of updating the '90s girl group sound of En Vogue and TLC, as well as fitting nicely with such pop contemporaries as Beyonc? and Rihanna. Along with the title track, DNA also includes the single "Wings."

Billboard (p.47) - "They shine most when letting some sass bleed in, like on the giddy kiss-off 'How Ya Doin'?'"
