Sunday Girl

Sunday Girl

Sunday Girl is the pop project of British singer Jade Williams, who is born in Sidcup, England and calls Broxbourne home. She also performs under the name Whinnie Williams. The Sunday Girl name comes from a nickname she receives while working at a pet shop in Broxbourne at weekends, where staff call her “the Sunday Girl”. She likes the anonymity of the name and uses it as a stage name.

Releases and collaborations

Sunday Girl’s debut single, Four Floors, is released on Polydor Records and is co-written and produced by Diplo. Her second single, Self Control, is a cover of the Laura Branigan song. She later writes and produces Stop Hey with Jim Eliot of Kish Mauve. She also co-writes and performs Let’s Not Play Games for Martin Solveig’s album Smash. Another cover, Love U More by Sunscreem, is issued as a promotional release with a video. Williams also records a version of Pixies’ Where Is My Mind? for Thomson’s 2011 holiday TV campaign, and the success of that recording leads to her signing with Island Records.

Performances and later work

Williams supports Ellie Goulding on tour, plays her first headline show at XOYO in London, and later joins LMFAO on several UK dates. High & Low appears on the soundtrack of StreetDance 2. In 2013, Williams announces the end of the Sunday Girl project and releases her first single as Whinnie Williams, You Don’t Love Me, with a music video.
