The Hour

Ahead of the release of her fourth album, Make A Scene, Sophie Ellis-Bextor performed new single Starlight live on The Hour. The song, a follow up to recent single Not Giving Up On Love and last year’s Bittersweet, is due to be released on June 13.

Sophie has been a regular fixture on the UK Singles Chart for ten years now, since her collaboration with Italian DJ Spiller on Groovejet (If This Ain’t Love) snatched the number one spot from former Spice Girl Victoria Beckham.

Her debut album, Read My Lips, then went double platinum and reached number two in the UK Albums Chart, followed two years later by Shoot from the Hip which produced two top ten singles.

Her third album, Trip the Light Fantastic, reached number seven in the UK in 2007.

As well as her music career, Sophie has also found time to start a family in recent years. In 2005 she married The Feeling bass player Richard Jones and has two children, Sonny and Kit.

Starlight and album Make A Scene are both released on June 13, 2011.
