Yep, she seems like a decent skin, plus she has a very distinctive voice. I think that last album of hers did pretty well for her, in a C-list sales kinda way.

First play of the new single was earlier today on BBC radio 2. It's a cute disco track called "Come With Us".

You can hear it here around 01:38:30 mark:

Release Date: 02/09/2016

Familia will be Sophie Ellis-Bextor’s sixth studio album and follows her #4 charting and silver certified album Wanderlust, which marked a critically acclaimed change in musical direction for Sophie. Released in January 2014, Wanderlust went on to spend 6 months in the UK chart and gave Sophie her first top 10 record since 2007’s Trip The Light Fantastic.

Following suit with her last record, Familia was also co-written, produced and arranged by acclaimed singer-songwriter and good friend Ed Harcourt and was recorded in London with a close-knit group of musician friends.

Inspiration for the record, which can be clearly seen in the album’s accompanying artwork and images, comes from South America. Sophie says; “My new album Familia is the bolshier, more extrovert little sister to Wanderlust. It sees the Wanderlust girl move away from Eastern Europe to the warmer, sunnier climate of South America where she’s swapped vodka for tequila.”

The lead track into the record Come With Us brings with it a touch of Sophie’s original disco sound. Upbeat from start to finish, it is an instant disco-pop track that is as modern as it is retro with a completely addictive chorus. Sophie says it is “what happens when Ed Harcourt and I write Four on the floor. It is a live disco song about the lure of a cult.”

Familia features 11-tracks, which continue to showcase Sophie’s newfound lyrical and musical maturity, from the beautiful and emotive Unrequited to the synth-laded ballad Death Of Love and the alt-pop buoyant opener Wild Forever.

1. Wild Forever
2. Death Of Love
3. Crystallise
4. Hush Little Voices
5. Here Comes The Rapture
6. Come With Us
7. Cassandra
8. My Puppet Heart
9. Unrequited
10. The Saddest Happiness
11. Don’t Shy Away

I like the font. It's meant to be retro South Amercan influence. The image is a bit flat though.

I haven't stan for an album for a long time. I love that forgotten feeling I have now.

After the first single I thought it's gonna be boring. God I was wrong.

Here's some of my faves, if someone's too lazy to download

I'll definitely give the album a listen, as I generally quite like her.

Shame it free fell from a decent entry position of 12 to 89 in week 2!

It's a bit of a grower. It sounded like a dull mess on first few listens, but there are some lovely tunes on there. I still can't get all that excited about it though.
