I have been a HUGE fan of Sophie Ellis Bextor for a long time. I couldn't believe my eyes when like all my other pop idols, she too is working on a new album. Below is the latest from Sophie’s website:
Sophie Ellis Bextor has a sparkling new album in the works and we are now very proud to reveal the name of the first single!
‘Bittersweet’ will be the first release taken from Sophie’s new album – this April 2010! Written by the super-talented Freemasons, Biff and Hannah Robinson, the Freemasons have also worked their magic on producing the single.
It’s a good introduction to the fourth album because, as with the majority of the record, it’s a song you can dance to. The new tracks feature collaborations with Calvin Harris, Metronomy, Cathy Dennis, Richard X and Ed Harcourt.
Now you know I am gagging! I am a huge fan of Calvin Harris' and Richard X's work, and Cathy Dennis has made a fine career out of writing memorable pop gems. All three have worked with Kylie Minogue in the past, so I can imagine the type of sound the record will have. Freemasons have worked with Ultra Nate on her last record, which was friggin awesome! It will have that Sophie stamp on it which works beautifully because she's her own artist. I am so glad pop stars want to stop being so damn serious and want to dance. We need to come out of the dark and have some fun on the dance floor again.
