For:Fans of sophisticated pop, 80s-inspired electropop and adult contemporary pop listeners

 Trip The Light Fantastic, dated 2007, is probably the pinnacle of this unmissable "quest for heterogeneity" by the lovely Sophie: a work with contrasting hues and sounds, an authentic mix of retro electropop (with a perpetual gaze towards the eighties season), new-wave, disco-dance, melodic rock, funky, and soul.

 Three years after the flashy "Make a Scene", which was only appealing in its cover art, the British singer Sophie Ellis-Bextor returns to the music scene, kicking off 2014 with a new musical project, "Wanderlust", which marks a decisive turning point in her artistic career: setting aside the synthesizers and dance chart-toppers (consistently and unfairly ignored in favor of colleagues with highly questionable talent), the beautiful vocalist challenges herself with an indie-pop album with Nordic and refined sounds, as well as recorded exclusively with "real" instruments.
