Sophie Ellis-Bextor has announced her much-anticipated 8th studio album ‘Perimenopop’, which will be released on 12th September. Alongside the album announcement, she has shared new single and MNEK collaboration ‘Taste’ and announced a brand-new show at London KOKO on 8th September. Listen here.
New album ‘Perimenopop’ is a positive record that is a playful celebration of where Sophie is at in her life, knowing exactly who she is and embracing the joy and empowerment that brings. Featuring previously released tracks ‘Freedom of the Night’, ‘Relentless Love’ and ‘Vertigo’, it is the record Sophie was meant to make 7 studio albums into her 25-year career, seeing her confidently return to her iconic dance-pop sound. Sophie collaborated with MNEK and Jon Shave (Charli XCX, Sugababes) on new single ‘Taste’,which is an immediate and fun pop song that builds to an alluring and joyous chorus.
Alongside the album announcement, Sophie has also shared a brand-new show with an album launch gig at London KOKO ahead of release on 8th September. Tickets are available for pre-sale with pre-orders of the album on 14th May and go on general sale on 16th May here.
The glittering anthem ‘Freedom of the Night’ signalled a new era for Sophie with a confident return to her iconic and esteemed disco-pop sound, embracing her musical roots across pop, disco, and dance. The Radio 2 A-listed single saw Sophie back together with longstanding collaborator Sophie Muller on the video, which celebrated the renowned ‘Murder on the Dancefloor’ video. Sophie ended 2024 with a performance of the track as part of her BBC New Year’s Eve Disco show.
