Sophie Ellis-Bextor

Sophie most recently released her 7th studio album HANA, which charted at #8 in the UK albums chart, giving Sophie her 5th Top 10 record, and was the third in a trilogy of records made with long-time collaborator and friend Ed Harcourt. Following her much-loved Kitchen Disco parties shared on Instagram over lockdown, Sophie released two albums, Songs from the Kitchen Disco and Sophie Ellis-Bextor’s Kitchen Disco: Live from the London Palladium, which followed her sold out Kitchen Disco live tour, which she continued in 2023 with her Christmas Kitchen Disco tour.

DISCO QUEEN

Most recently, after featuring in the epic final scene of Emerald Fennell’s film Saltburn, Sophie’s beloved 2001 hit Murder on the Dancefloor saw a huge resurgence, charting at #2 in the UK Singles Chart and #58 In the Billboard Top 100, with the song reaching over 11 billion global streams across all streaming and social platforms.
