Sophie Ellis-Bextor’s Triumphant Return: New Album and Global Tour Success in 2025
A New Chapter in Pop Music
Sophie Ellis-Bextor, the English singer and songwriter who first rose to prominence in the late 1990s with indie rock band Theaudience before launching a successful solo career, has established herself as a versatile artist in mainstream pop and dance music, with influences spanning disco, nu-disco, and 1980s electronic music.
Recent Resurgence and New Album
After experiencing a remarkable resurgence in popularity when her hit ‘Murder on the Dancefloor’ was featured in the 2023 film Saltburn, leading to the song achieving a new peak of number two on the UK Singles Chart, Ellis-Bextor has been busy with new projects. Her highly anticipated eighth studio album, ‘Perimenopop’, is scheduled for release on 12 September 2025 through Decca Records. The album has already produced several singles, including ‘Freedom of the Night’, ‘Relentless Love’, and ‘Vertigo’.
2025 Live Performances and Achievements
The artist has been extensively touring, recently completing a North American tour with shows in Chicago, Los Angeles, and Seattle. A highlight of her summer performances included a special appearance at Glastonbury 2025, where she performed alongside Peggy Gou, delivering an iconic rendition of ‘Murder On The Dancefloor’ at the Park Stage.
Adding to her achievements, Ellis-Bextor was announced as the United Kingdom’s spokesperson for the Eurovision Song Contest 2025, replacing Ncuti Gatwa. Tickets for her new tour are currently available, including VIP concert tickets and hospitality packages, as she prepares to bring her signature sparkle to some of the UK’s biggest stages.
Musical Evolution
In an industry where many artists often rely on past successes, Sophie Ellis-Bextor stands out as a refreshing example of artistic evolution. The former electro artist has successfully transformed into a baroque pop singer, demonstrating remarkable development as a performer. This continued evolution promises to make her upcoming album release one of the most anticipated musical events of 2025.
