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

[Island]

This actually sounds like a great follow up to Hypnotized.

 

[Aester]

It seems this is coming 18th October. Excited.

We're getting new Sophie, Kylie, and Jade on the same day? What a time to be alive!

 

[Nadine Is My BFF]

Sounds like a bop, I can’t wait!

 

[Vyrisus]

This snippet sounds huge already. I can’t wait.

Finally something with a pulse and energy. I enjoyed the MOR era but I am more than ready for a return to bangers and bops.

100% agree. I really checked out on Sophie during the last few eras, but happy to embrace her again with a bangers and bops era.

I'm really liking what we’ve heard so far. So did film the music video today? I feel like we're getting a 'at home' video from Sophie looks like her garden in the last video she posted, maybe some dancing in her kitchen etc. I also hope even if it's pretty unlikely, someone else and not Sophie Muller is directing the video but in true Sophie style it's most probably gonna be SM again.

I can't find the writing credits for this on BMI repertoire. I wonder if this was one of the earlier sessions with Sigrid - it sounds like it, no?

Quick recap on our current knowledge about SEB8:
1. She has FINALLY worked with Hot Chip! (younger me is wetting himself)
2. Richard teased on his socials that Sophie worked with Richard X and Cathy Dennis (we're not sure if they worked together though)
3. Hannah Robinson confirmed on a podcast that she has worked with Sophie for SEB8
4. There were writing sessions with Duck Blackwell and Shura, the latter being a surprising/strange collaboration
5. Sigrid was another unexpected collaboration
6. Sophie mentioned that Nile Rodgers and Ed Harcourt have teamed up for a disco number on SEB8.
7. Little Boots posted a picture with Sophie in a studio on her Patreon. I'm assuming this is for SEB8 (again, younger me is over the moon)
8. I read somewhere that Biffco is involved in SEB8, I can't remember the source.
9. We have one song title so far - Freedom Of The Night.
10. Sophie mentioned this album would be more "pop" and likened it to Trip The Light Fantastic. On her podcast, she also mentioned that some of the songs, especially the one with Sigrid, was quite "heady".

This is like... a dream pop record!?

 

[2014]

I'm phenomenally perched for this. What a comeback!!

 

[Veeis]

This is shaping up as classic Sophie song, can't wait.

 

[kaushik]

From her latest Instagram post, it appears she’s playing the “baddie” again.

Artwork reminds of me one of the singles from the first Little Boots album for some reason

SOPHIE EШS-BEXTOR

 

[Celestial Mosaic]

That artwork is utterly hideous, but the song sounds glorious.

 

[Vasilios]

Her artwork remains utterly horrible for two decades now.

 

[New Flame]

I'm guessing/hoping the album will be released in the first quarter of 2025. Crazy to think 'Hana' has only been released last year. It feels so long ago (probably because she kind of ignored it and continued the Kitchen Disco).

 

[yearscomeandgo]

I GOT HERE AS FAST AS I COULD.

Yes, this! This this this!

 

[SlowBurn]

I think the artwork is fine. I've seen way worse for artists with far higher budgets. The song sounds so cute!
