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."
