I fully realize that this is old news by now (although in my defense, I did Tweet about it back when I first heard) but one of my favorite UK popstars,
Sophie Ellis-Bextor is gearing up to release a brand new single this Spring.
HALLELUJAH!
Confirmed by Sophie herself on Twitter (
@SophieEB), the new single is called "
Bittersweet" and it was produced by the ever-brilliant
Freemasons (same hitmakers that produced "
Heartbreak (Make Me a Dancer)"). The track was written by the Freemasons as well as
Biff and Hannah Robinson.
According to Sophie herself, "
the new single's about when you can't resist something that you know is bad for you. A guilty pleasure." The single is due to be released in April but will hit UK radio stations in February. The album also seems to be coming along nicely, per a Tweet on January 6th: "Done last bit of singing for album 4 today. Now i just need to get a great album title... Ideas?"
I for one loved Trip The Light Fantastic as an album title (and album) so I'm sure that the new material will be FANTASTIC as well. 2010 is going to mark the return of Ms. EB. Bloody brilliant! Check out Sophie's brand new website and forum revamp.
