POP GAL: sophie ellis bextor - bittersweet

sophie ellis bextor - bittersweet
[sophie returns with a pop track that is a tad underwhelming... shame cause she's usually quite good as a pop gal. maybe the remixes will do the trick?]

[it's so weird how many wonderfully 'pop' songs got overlooked in 2007. this mid range ballad definitely falls under that category (even with an equally beautiful video by sophie muller). don't know what happened here but sophie deserves a bigger year than she got. fingers crossed that her upcoming greatest hits collection will generate some buzz stemmed from the two new songs she recorded specially for it.]

[easily one of the best pop songs of the summer, this track slowly crept on me over the past few weeks and is now lodged on my ipod repeat. my feelings for sophie ellis bextor has always been a mixed bag since i feel she is only as good as her last single. in this case, i feel like the tune is kind of a pop classic and the fact that video director sophie muller creates yet another batch of interesting images, (retelling a modern day bonnie & clyde story) is pretty all around cool. btw, i've thrown in the equally lovely richmann radio mix for your pleasure!]

new videos: sophie ellis bextor, the enemy, freeform five

sophie ellis bextor - me and my imagination
[is it just me or does our sophie look more and more like a mix of a young madonna meets courtney cox? strange really. btw, LOVE this pop ditty!]


the enemy - away from here
[you gotta give it up to the brits for coming up with derivative indie bands but then grabbing you just as quickly with their insanely catchy choruses. argh!!!!]


freeform five - no more conversations (mylo remix)
[this song has been floating around for a good 1/2 year but now with the mylo flat beat type remix, these guys might finally get the hit that they've been asking for. hot!]

sophie ellis bextor - catch you (world premiere)

sophie ellis bextor - catch you (digital dog club mix)
[as tipped on popjustice, the more i listen to this song, the more i like it! i've also passed on one of many remixes out at the moment. hopefully better remixers will get in on the best pop song of january!]

there's some leakage in the house: sophie ellis bextor

just a day into 2007 and popjustice have already gone all apeshit over the latest release of disco fashion maven sophie ellis bextor.

her 1st single "catch you" (due for release in feb) is not only produced by cathy dennis but the upcoming video was shot in venice by hot director sophie mueller (gwen stefani, beyonce and well... pretty much everyone on the planet).

though the hype from the uk means nada to me (i only know her from the spiller single), i do agree that the single (which i heard in demo version) is a nice piece of pop. maybe you'll think so too.
