It´s interesting how things happen, the first thing you know is that you are watching a video with a nice song on the tv and the next is that fourteen years passed in the blink of an eye; thankfully I had a nice soundtrack during this time of my life and although Castlevania music played a big part on it House music, Trance and Brit-pop were involved also; this brings me to this new post in wich you can hear my favorite female singer: Sophie Michelle Ellis-Bextor; I still remember like if it were yesterday her video Murder on the dance floor; I have to tell that I was impressed, the lyrics were sticky as crazy glue, her voice like anything I heard before (her British accent it's so sexy), but the most important part, she was unique, before her on MTV and music channels you only have the same old shit, blonde tan girls with dozens of dancers around twisting on pole dancer choreographies singing about been a slut and how their boyfriends dump them because their stupid, there's no need to say that she was the opposite: first of all she is very tall 5'9 (1.75 cm) plus high heels and it's impossible to miss her, skin white as alabaster, shiny black straight hair, chiselled cheekbones, and incredibly she didn't dance a shit, well she improved as time passed but anyways her presence was fresh air to me and others, that's why today I bring her studio albums and some rarities to share, just click on the name to get the link.

Make a scene 2011
What happen when you combine a sexy voice and some electronic music? the answer is Make a scene the fourth solo album of Sophie, Bittersweet and Under your touch are great tracks to start a party anywhere plus you have many guests like Armin van Buuren, Junior Caldera, and the Freemasons.

Wanderlust 2014
Isn't she gorgeous? when she have 50 will be like the sun and nobody will be able to look at her directly, but until that happens I hope she keeps the good music on her system like this great album that has become the 2nd more successful of her career, good things happen when you make things the way you like and not how everybody expects, and Sophie just prove it.

FAMILIA 2016
The latest album from lovely madame Bextor, this record holds some of the best songs up today from our favorite singer and one with a twist, the overall style is completely different from previous albums and is not bad at all, Is there something this woman cannot do? She even made a mariachi cover of the song "death of love" and is great! (my favorite till now) Keep the beat baby!

A late (really late) addition to the blog, because you know, I am still around XD. This is a very especial treat, with orchestral versions of the favorites songs from our stunning and dearest britt singer: Sophie Ellis Bexor. Made back in 2019 (now is 2020, sorry for the delay) as a celebration of over twenty years of musical life-career and with quite astounding results, the maturity on each track only provides a closer look to every detail that was missed before on the "official" versions, just listen to it and rejoice on what might be the best compilation ever from an underrated artist that is able to win our hearts and do everything she wants with grace, charm, style, beauty and above all: LOVE.
By the way, this post aged really well.
