Biography

Sophie Ellis-Bextor is back with album number four, after baby number two, looking and sounding better than ever; but as she once warned us – it’s a Mixed Up World, and juggling young children, with a recording career, international tours, running club nights with husband Richard and her ongoing commitment as the face of cosmetics brand Rimmel, is not without it’s ...

4.0 out of 5 stars Take this album home with you now!! 5 Sep 2001
Format:Audio CD
Here is the long awaited debut album from Sophie Ellis-Bextor, the girl that rather famously and gloriously kept posh from the number 1 throne with Spiller last year. Now she's on her own and it isn't half bad. Ellis-Bextor has managed to do something that so few popstars can nowadays; keep it pop, yet sophisticated and stylish. With the magnificent "Take me home" and equally good tracks "Lover", "Murder on the dancefloor" and "I believe" Ellis-Bextor she can definitely sing and write (all tracks are co-written by her).

A couple of tracks are a bit weaker ("Sparkle", "Final move") but on the whole it's extremely strong. With an album this good under her belt at the tender age of 22 I can only wonder what gem of an album she'll come up with next.

5.0 out of 5 stars ECLECTIC COLLECTION FROM A GREAT NEW VOICE 12 Sep 2001
Format:Audio CD
"Take Me Home" may have given the impression that another disco diva has arrived on the Cher bandwagon..especially as "Take Me Home" is a cover of a Cher hit. Luckily Sophie has produced a sophisticated pop album that takes a backwards glance at the eighties and is all the better for it. There are potentially many singles on offer here..."Lover" the next touted single is a reggae style number that recalls Bananarama/Fun Boy Three. "Move This Mountain" a collaboration with Alex James of "Blur" is the probable highlight although "I Believe" and the lovely "Is It Any Wonder" run it close. There isn't a weak song anywhere though the wonderfully camp "Murder on the Dancefloor" seems to be getting attention if only for the wonderfully polite way Sophie sings "Goddamn". Her style is the epitome of cool and the owner of this album can buy right into that.

4.0 out of 5 stars careful, there are three versions 24 Nov 2012
By Red Rose TOP 1000 REVIEWER
Format:Audio CD|Amazon Verified Purchase
Yes, three versions, slightly different playlists.

'Read my lips - Extra tracks', is the version you really want. 15 tracks, including Murder On The Dance Floor, Get Over You and a live version of Groovejet. £1 new or 1p used. Wonderful value.

'Read my lips - Import'. 13 tracks only, including the above.

'Read my lips'. A bare 8 tracks on this, excluding Groovejet, and more expensive.

5.0 out of 5 stars Not what you expect, but damn good! 28 Jan 2002
By A Customer
Format:Audio CD
After the single releases of "Take Me Home" and "Murder on the Dancefloor", I was expecting a discotastic album, but what you actually get is something quite different.
The sound is fairly eclectic, a pretty dancy sound in places, but in others very 80's sounding.It works though. Lyrics are good, the beautiful, "Is it any Wonder?" is fab - mellow and soulful and SEB's voice is amazing!

5.0 out of 5 stars A reasonable first time effort 10 Sep 2001
Format:Audio CD
You will probably reading this review in order to determine - "is it worth the purchase?" My first instincts would be to say "yes." If like me you were unsure if such an artist could deliver on an album, then you will be pleasantly surprised. The album benefits from a variation of track and vocal styles with the "Take Me Home" track easing your way into an endless abyss of pop and easy listening musical delight. Other good tracks include "Is it any wonder" and "Sparkle." Overall this CD would be a nice addition to your collection and worthy of a purchase.

5.0 out of 5 stars Wham, Bam, Thank you Miss Ellis-Bextor 30 Sep 2001
By A Customer
Format:Audio CD
When i first heard the single 'Take Me Home' aired on Radio 2 back in June, it caught my ear. I waited for the album (since June!) and now its here, i think my wait was worth it!
if you're looking for pop, SEB has 'Final Move'. If you're looking for 70's disco, SEB has 'Murder on the Dancefloor'. For 80's electro-pop lovers, its 'Sparkle' and for a chilled beats sound, you've got 'Is It Any Wonder'. It really has got anything you would ever need. A round-up of all tastes from a purly talented up-and-coming Diva with an ear for style and taste. From her days with 'theaudience' it is clear to see how she has changed to suit what she likes, rather than what she can make as most of the songs she has co-written. The music on the album also compliments her vocal range, allowing for expressive singing in a sexy, bluesy-type way.
Many have protested on Miss Ellis-Bextors 'Nasal' sound. I agree that she does have a nasal twang in her voice, but it adds to the sound, texture and timbre of the music. If its Nasal-twangs you're after, listen to Stacy Kent, a jazz singer... Sophie Ellis-Bextor can not be compared to any other female singer i know as her voice is unique, soulful and beautiful.
Overall, SEB has created a master of an album combining all the classic aspects of todays music scene.
And she quite attractive, too...

5.0 out of 5 stars Sophie Ellis Bextor- What A Talent! 12 Oct 2003
By Deano's
Format:Audio CD
I got this album bought for me and after having heard a few of Sophie's tracks on the radio before thought I'd give it a listen and when I did I just couldn't stop! The album as a fantastic individual sound that keeps goin from start to finish and if you hear one track on its own you know its from that album, its a kind of dance electro pop style music and the songs are really catchy. Sophie sounds great on all of them and her voice suits the tracks perfectly. Great catchy numbers include "Murder On The Dancefloor", the addictive "Take Me Home" and my favourite "Get Over You" with its quirky lyrics and upbeat flavour. Others include the pure pop song "The Universe Is You", a great dance vocal track "Is It Any Wonder" than sounds like it came off an ibiza anthem soundtrack. The live version of Groovejets "If This Aint Love" is really good with loads of energy and Sophie sounds really good live, proving just how talented she is. This individual album is a must for any cd collection. 10/10
