JESY Nelson has been accused by a top record producer of using an impersonator to sing her part in a huge Little Mix hit. It has been claimed that the singer opted to use a 'soundalike' for her parts in the band's big dance collaboration with Nathan Dawe , No Time For Tears. One of the record's writers and producers, Tre Jean Marie, has made the sensational claim that Jesy opted out of part of the recording process which took place just before she decided to quit the girl group for good.
The track was eventually released mere days before Jesy walked out on the group with Tre revealing that Jesy was already "over it" when it came to adding her vocals to the song. Sharing a post marking the song gaining a Gold certification for shipments of 400,000 units, Tre said in an Instagram story: "Fun fact: All of Jesy's BVs [background vocals] (and even some of the leads) on No Time For Tears are somebody else impersonating her because she was quite literally over it." Tre co-produced the track with superstar DJ Nathan Dawe, who was credited as the lead artist, as well as being the song's official vocal producer.
A mystery vocalist named Niamh Murphy is credited on the song for "background vocals" with Jesy and her bandmantes - Jade Thirlwall, Perrie Edwards and Leigh-Anne Pinnock - all being credited with main vocals. Tre did not identify Niamh as being the vocalist who imitated Jesy's voice on the top 20 hit. Appearing to add fuel to the fire, Nathan later shared a cryptic message on .
