Sophie Ellis-Bextor - Bittersweet

Here’s the long awaited original radio edit of “Bittersweet“. First single from her upcoming album, tentatively titled “Straight To The Heart” (thanks Shan for the update), it means that “Heartbreak” is a buzz single. Whilst it’s not as clubby as the EPIC Freemasons extended (9 min long!!!) mix, it is as AWESOME if not, on par with it too.

Why so??? The song is comparable with various 80’s disco classics such as “Blue Monday” by New Order, “Strangelove” by Depeche Mode, “Sweet Dreams” by Eurythmics and “You Spin Me Round (Like a Record)” by Dead or Alive.

Written by The Freemasons, Biffco, Hannah Robinson and Sophie Ellis-Bextor herself and produced by both The Freemasons and Biffco, this song has the makings to be a classic. Every syth line cause me to be uber excited. And when that happens, you know this song is totally amazing. Not your generic anthem, it’s a proper lush and elegant disco track. And the lyrics ain’t trashy, so it’s POP-Perfection!!! Makes me have high expectations for the album already (since when was I not???!!!). A MUST HAVE!!!!
