Sophie Ellis-Bextor reveals new studio album Perimenopop, her eighth in total. The album is described as a playful celebration of where Sophie is at in her life, knowing exactly who she is and embracing the joy and empowerment that brings. The star has delivered several tasters of the album in pre-release tracks Relentless Love, Vertigo, and Freedom of the Night.
Discussing her latest album, Sophie shares: “‘Perimenopop’ is an album that’s intention is to bring you joy; it’s fun, it’s bold and it’s playful. I had this incredible feeling while I was writing it, that I didn’t have to try to be anyone else. I could just head towards what excited me and what excited those I was working with. That feeling is in part down to you and your support. Honestly, it’s the best gift you can give me when I’m creating new music.”
Sophie accompanies the album news with another fresh track, Taste. The song is written by Jon Shave, Sophie Ellis-Bextor and Uzoechi Emenike. On the new number, she shares: “‘With ‘Taste’, I collaborated with MNEK and Jon Shave to write a playful, flirtatious pop song about chemistry. What can really make you want to be around someone is when their taste, what they like in life, is something you become addicted to. You want to experience all delights with them and share it with them as everything they introduce you to feels just right. All your senses feel alive and awake – like the full flavour of life is realised. Chef’s kiss.”
