Sophie Ellis-Bextor Wants to ‘Celebrate Her Age’ with Her Upcoming Album

Sophie Ellis-Bextor is back—and she’s embracing every part of herself.

The British pop sensation, best known for early 2000s hits like “Murder on the Dancefloor” and “Take Me Home,” is preparing to release a new album that reflects her current stage in life—with pride, energy, and unapologetic honesty.

Speaking recently about the project, Sophie shared that the record will be a tribute to “celebrating her age,” marking a bold step away from pop’s obsession with youth and instead focusing on maturity, confidence, and authenticity. “I feel stronger in who I am than ever before,” she said. “This album is about capturing that feeling and turning it into music people can dance to, cry to, and connect with.”

Ellis-Bextor, now in her mid-40s and a mother of five, has long balanced family life with her musical career. In recent years, she gained renewed popularity through her live-streamed “Kitchen Disco” performances during the pandemic, which turned her home into a glitter-ball-lit haven of joy for fans across the globe.

Her upcoming release is expected to blend the disco-pop energy she’s known for with more introspective songwriting, offering a fresh yet familiar sound. “There’s something liberating about making music when you no longer feel pressure to fit into a mold,” Sophie explained. “This album is about fun, freedom, and feeling fabulous at any age.”

While the full tracklist and release date are still under wraps, Sophie has hinted that fans can expect some surprise collaborations and a tour announcement soon.
