Sophie Ellis-Bextor - Relentless Love (4 Viewers)



Looks like the album title is real…

I wanted an album title that would celebrate my relationship with pop, how I'm feeling at the moment and the age I'm at - I turned 46 last month. I spent a lot of time in my early pop career being told that pop was a young person's game. And my extraordinary adventures through music have taught me completely the opposite. And actually, making this 8th album, I'm more in love with it than ever. So the title is a celebration of that, and is in tribute to all the women than went before me, all the women that come behind me - that you can get to your mid 40s, still be making pop music, still be having lots of fun..

It's a playful title, and there's, maybe, a little bit of a serious note behind the buoyancy.


Album cover here:
 
the cover is so drab. it doesn't match the sound of the music at all. Taste is... okay, but Relentless Love remains the best of what we've heard so far
 
Taste works as a placeholder for me, but it isn't exciting enough to launch an album.

I quite like the title, but that's perhaps because I've had well over a decade of most of my female friends going on about their hormones or lack thereof.
 
Taste is fine but the weakest of the releases so far. I’ll be disappointed if that’s the one they’re banking on to launch the album.
 
It washed over me tbh. But then since Shoot From The Hip she’s more someone I want to like more than I actually do, though performance wise she is phenomenal :disco:
 
With her "Spinning Plates" podcast, she's now mostly fun 4 busy mums with an odd glittery titbit thrown to the gays.
