the Sophie Ellis-Bextor thread

Sophie Ellis-Bextor has been in the changing rooms of pop more than most. One of the genre's great shape shifters, she morphed from sharp suited indie princess in theaudience to Ibiza invigorator with Groovejet before becoming a fully fledged dancefloor divinity on her first solo album "Read My Lips" and, in a nod to her roots in Britpop, the sophisticated songwriterly siren with "Shoot From The Hip."

"Trip The Light Fantastic" picks up where her debut album left off because she was in a similar mindset of not knowing what would happen. "Trip The Light Fantastic" is an invitation to dance. It's this year's best excuse for letting your hair down and kicking off the high heels or slipping into them, should you wish. Lead single "Catch You," penned by Cathy Dennis, combines guitars, zingy keyboards and a hook that burrows into your brain and stays there in a three minute spin that washes out nu wave angular guitars with nagging pop melody.

she will release a new album this September, featuring the songs "Heartbreak Make Me A Dancer" and "Off And On."

I have a question... is she going to release a best? anytime soon?

she was going to this year, but she began recording some new material, and decided to just release her fourth original album instead.

which was a smarter decision, btw
she didn't have enough material for a best

Didn't know about the new album, I'll be looking forward to it. She's so underrated, it's not fair. Me & My Imagination is possibly her best song - though she has many great songs, pretty much everything she's released is gold. I should really buy "Shoot from the Hip", it's the only album I don't have. :/

You really like British singers don't you Drew? :P

I agree. she only has ten or so singles, not including her guesting on "Groovejet" and "Circles."

and, austin, yes, I do, haha. I really have to thank PSYCHEDELICOdust, though, for introducing me to Sophie. <3

Love her. I'm glad there's going to be new material.

a FAR better decision, imo.

they're both amazing songs, btw.

A shame, but at least there's going to be a new album.

Can't wait for a new single of hers! <3
It's a pity that Today the sun's on us didn't do well on the charts, imo it's one of her best song!

bah, she should have chosen "If I Can't Dance" as the single.

I love "Today The Sun's On Us," but I think "If You Go" should've been released in its place.

I love her.Murder on the Dancefloor is the best song from her(And her best video)!

I loved pretty much all the songs on the album, I don't know what I would have picked as the single.

cans ombody tell em which song is the one where she comes out of a dres store in the PV...you know...aahh i can´t explain XD

I think it would be a GREAT release as well. It's the best song of the album for me (well, excluding TDSON hehe)
