Sophie Ellis-Bextor Career

Career

Ellis-Bextor started singing lead vocals in the indie band Theaudience in 1996. The band released four singles, including the UK Top 40 hits "I Know Enough (I Don't Get Enough), "A Pessimist Is Never Disappointed"), and one self-titled album (theaudience (1999)). Robin Bextor's father produced videos for the band's singles. Despite being in Theaudience, readers of Melody Maker voted Ellis-Bextor number one in a poll of'most sexy people in rock'.

After demos for a planned second album were turned down by their label Mercury Records, who then dropped the band, the band broke down in 1999. Ellis-Bextor performed a duet with Manic Street Preachers, "Black Holes for the Young," as a B-side for their 1998 album "The Everlasting," and the Departure Lounge's Out of Here released in 1999.

Ellis-Bextor joined Italian DJ Spiller in 2000, adding vocals to his album "Groovejet" (If This Ain't Love). It debuted at number one in the United Kingdom, beating former Spice Girl Victoria Beckham on her first solo track. Many awards have been given to "Groovejet": No. 1, Pop Top 20; No. No. 1, ILR; No. No. 1, Radio 1; No. In Melody Maker, the top dance track of the year and single of the year. In the Metro Newspaper, it secured its ninth position in the Greatest No. 58 competition. One of all time. It was a finalist in The Year of the Year in 2000. It received the Best Single and Best Ibiza Tune awards at the Ericsson Muzik Awards last year.

Ellis-Bextor's debut album, Read My Lips, was released in 2001. It debuted at number two on the UK charts and spawned four top-twenty hits singles. Cher's "Take Me Home" reworked to number two, as did "Murder on the Dancefloor," Ellis-Bextor's biggest single and was on top charts for twenty-three weeks. "Murder on the Dancefloor" became Europe's most popular song of 2002. Read My Lips was re-released in 2002 with two new songs (and a live version of "Groovejet") and Ellis-Bextor won the Recording Artist Award at that year's Showbusiness Awards. "Get Over You / Move This Mountain," her third album, was released in June 2002 and debuted at number three. In December, the fourth single, "Music Gets the Best of Me," soared to number fourteen. Ellis-Bextor was nominated for the "British Female Solo Artist" BRIT Award at the start of 2002, and it has been voted for a second time in a row.

Shoot from the Hip was her second album and "Mixed Up World" and "I Won't Change You" were released in October 2003 and released two more top-ten singles, "Mixed Up World" and "I Won't Change You." The album debuted at number 19 on the UK charts and was rated silver by the BPI for shipments of 60,000 units. Ellis-Bextor described the album as "more accessible" and "a little more left-of-centre at times" than Read My Lips. "It has more of a live feel [...] It's still a pop album, with elements of disco, indie, and rock." Since becoming pregnant, she decided to take a break from music promotion.

Ellis-Bextor appeared on Busface's "Circles (Just My Good Time)" under the alias Mademoiselle E.B. in 2005, the alias Mademoiselle E.B.

Trip the Light Fantastic, Ellis-Bextor's third album, debuted in May 2007 and reached number one in the United Kingdom. "Catch You" (number 8 in the United Kingdom), "Me and My Imagination" (number 23), and "Today the Sun is on Us" (number 64). "If I Can't Dance" was released as a single but it was later retracted.

In June 2007, Ellis-Bextor supported George Michael on his UK tour leg. Ellis-Bextor was supposed to be the "extra guest" on Take That's Beautiful World Tour, which started in October 2007. She had intended to start in August 2007, but it was postponed due to Ellis-Bextor's Private World Tour, which began in October 2007. Ellis-Bextor announced that her tour would be postponed for March 2008, with all tickets being valid for the rescheduled concerts. The tour was never scheduled, and Ellis-Bextor did not want to address the issue in interviews. Ellis-Bextor performed at the Keep the Promise Rally in Trafalgar Square in October 2008 to bring an end to Child Poverty.

Ellis-Bextor was featured on Freemason's single "Heartbreak (Make Me a Dancer)" in June 2009, which debuted at number 13 in the United Kingdom. The iTunes Festival, held at the Roundhouse in London, featured girl bands The Saturdays and Girls Can't Catch in July. Sophie Ellis-Bextor: Live in London, the singer's first extended performance, was released as a recording of her appearance.

In August 2010, Ellis-Bextor's collaboration with DJ Armin van Buuren, "Not Giving Up on Love" was released as a single in Europe. She appeared on the Junior Caldera single "Can't Fight This Feeling" in 2010.

Make a Scene, the singer's fourth album, was released in June 2011 after a year-long delay, during which she left Universal Music Group to create EBGBs, the singer's fourth album. Ellis-Bextor said she was inspired to leave Universal by Fascination Records' departure, the sub-label to which she was attached following the introduction of "Bittersweet." Make a Scene was described by Ellis-Bextor as "very much [a dance album] [more so than any of my other albums." Ellis-Bextor said she was planning an "album that's completely different," but "Make a Scene" is a good way to get out of the dance sound for now. I think it's finishing on a high. On the UK leg of their Pandemonium Tour in July 2010, she supported Pet Shop Boys. She worked with Calvin Harris, Richard X, Dimitri Tikovoi, Hannah Robinson, Metronomy, and Liam Howe from the Sneaker Pimps. The album was released in continental Europe and Russia, where Universal Music Russia released the album; in the United Kingdom, the single "Starlight" was released ahead of the album's release in May 2011.

Ellis-Bextor co-produced "Fuck With You" (which was released on his album Disco Crash and was a major club hit in Continental Europe in November 2011), with French DJ Bob Sinclar on a song titled "Fuck with You" (released in November 2011). Ellis-Bextor's partnership with French DJ Mathieu Bouthier, "Beautiful," was announced in France in July 2012.

In May 2011, she revealed that she had started working on her fifth album. Ellis-Bextor began working with British singer and producer Ed Harcourt on a "more concept driven album" and could have as few as eight tracks as well as eight tracks. Her appearance at a London charity gala in November 2012 featured a new song, "Young Blood"; a preview of the song was released in March 2013 as a free digital download from her website as a thank you gift to her supporters. She appeared outside at Old Republic Square in Almaty, Kazakhstan, in 2013. Ellis-Bextor announced the completion of the album in May and the release of its tag, Wanderlust, and cover art in October.

In November 2013, Wanderlust's "Young Blood" became the lead single and remained at number three on the UK Indie Chart and at number 34 on the UK Singles Chart, peaking at number three on the UK Indie Chart and at number 34. The album debuted on January 2014 and ranked fourth on the UK Albums Chart and at number one on the UK Independent Albums Chart, and at number one on the UK Independent Albums Chart.

Next stop – rehearsals!

#album6 #whatthehellshoulderedlitter," the singer says. She also posted a YouTube video of the album's development. The album, Familia, was inspired by Ellis-Bextor's visit to North America, particularly Mexico. Familia is a Spanish word that means "family" (a tattoo Ellis-Bextor wears in her arm since her first child's birth), and Ellis-Bextor compared the album's sound to that of her older albums'. She said she wanted something with a Spanish or Italian feel" and that it carried on some Wanderlust stories. Familia was released in September 2016 and landed at number 12 on the UK Albums Chart, the most popular artist on the market. Four singles were born, but no of them made it into a major chart. After taking time off for her baby's birth in late 2015, she resumed touring in 2017, mainly at small venues in the United Kingdom.

A collection of her top hits with an orchestra was reworked with an orchestra by the artist in November 2017. She revealed The Song Diaries, the album's name, in February 2018, and teased that it would consist of re-recorded tracks from her time in academia to Familia's "Wild Forever" plus a new track. David Downtown drew the album's artwork. Love Is You, the Song Diaries' first single, a disco track performed by Carol Williams, was released in August 2018, which is sampled on her early hit Groovs. In March 2019, the Song Diaries were released and ranked 14 in the United Kingdom, despite being ranked 14th.

Is there anything more important in a Christmas dinner than getting the roast potatoes right?! In our house, it’s the thing we all get the most excited about. richardjonesface and I have spent many Sundays cooking a roast and getting them just *french kiss* so here is our recipe to make sure every potato has just the right golden crispy outside and warm fluffy inside that you deserve. Find this recipe and loads more in our cook book Love. Food. Family, available at the link in my bio. Xx Roast Potatoes serves 6 2kg (4lb 8oz) potatoes (Maris Piper or russets), peeled and cut into 5cm (2 inch) chunks 4 tablespoons olive oil/goose fat/vegetable oil (whatever your preference is), plus extra for drizzling 2 tablespoons semolina (optional) 1 garlic bulb, split into cloves 3 rosemary sprigs splash of malt vinegar salt and black pepper Preheat the oven to 200°C (425°F), Gas Mark 7. Place the prepped potatoes into a large pan of cold water as you go so that they don’t discolour. Season the water generously with salt, then set the pan over a medium-high heat and bring to the boil. Reduce to a simmer and cook for 15 minutes until fork tender. Meanwhile, pour your chosen oil or fat into your largest roasting tray and put it in the oven to get nice and hot. When the potatoes are tender, drain in a colander, then leave to steam for a few minutes. Return to the pan and shake a few times to fluff up the potatoes. As an added extra for more crunch, you can sprinkle over the semolina and shake again. Remove the tray from the oven, carefully tip the potatoes into the hot oil and lightly toss. Roast for 35 minutes, then remove from the oven. Using the flat edge of a chef ’s knife, firmly smash the garlic cloves along with the rosemary and mix in a small bowl with some malt vinegar, a little olive oil and some salt and pepper and add these to the tray. Toss, then return the tray to the oven for a further 20–25 minutes until the potatoes are deeply golden and crisp.
