Sophie Ellis-Bextor - "Freedom of the Night" + The Invisible Line (TBD)

I was thinking that Sophie would be a good choice for the BBC 1 NYE show. A mix of Kitchen Disco covers and her own hits would make a good party show, plus she has the BBC connection with her show on Radio 2. Fingers crossed it will happen one year. Would be good timing to sell the album and tour tickets if it was this year, and a good way of rounding off the year after the surprising turn of events from January. Maybe wishing thinking though
This needs to happen - someone get BBC on the phone, pronto!
 
Sophie loves concept music videos - it's pretty obvious at this point. I'm incredibly happy that she had a bigger budget for this music video.

I love the callback to Murder - it's done very tastefully. The casting is great, her outfits are great. Sophie's plays the controlling / unhinged character so well! I can't believe she hasn't done any major acting so far - she really should! I also feel like this character has subtle hints of the characters she played in Hypnotized and Catch You (both of which were STUNNING music videos as well).

The part with the electric guitar - my god, she is FIERCE! Loved her dancing with the ribbon. She is a stunning creature and she owns it like its nobody else's business. And that dress - wow!

Also, the judge from Murder making a comeback in this music video was genius - kudos to Sophie Muller and her team for pulling off this successful music video. I genuinely wish Sophie has a big budget for music videos in this era.

EDIT - No more holiday music videos, unless it includes a concept like Today The Sun's On Us / Catch You / Love Is A Camera.

EDIT 2 - Such a shame that all the music videos from the Trilogy did not have this budget.
I love the videos from the trilogy especially love is a camera and wild forever. Big budget doesn't always mean better. I admire what her and Sophie made on a budget. This video however ticks allll the boxes! The coolest mum that ever did exist.
 
Very excited for this era. I feel 'Freedom Of The Night' is merely the tip of the iceberg which will ultimately reveal a marvelous album of bangers as well as the occasional ballad. I sincerely hope we do get more singles (and videos) before the end of the year or, at the very least, an album trailer of snippets and a NYE Graham Norton performance.
 
This odd little "album" has appeared on my Spotify this morning:



Justice for 'The Walls Keep Saying Your Name'. It was a missed opportunity not performing it during the Halloween Kitchen Disco.

Where are 'Dial My Number', 'Love Is A Camera', 'Hush Little Voices' and 'We've Been Watching You' though?
