Sophie Ellis-Bextor has announced her much-anticipated 8th studio album Perimenopop, which will be released on September 12 via Decca. Alongside the album announcement, she has shared new single and MNEK collaboration ‘Taste’.
New album Perimenopop is a positive record that is a playful celebration of where Sophie is at in her life, knowing exactly who she is and embracing the joy and empowerment that brings. Featuring previously released tracks ‘Freedom of the Night’, ‘Relentless Love’ and ‘Vertigo’, it is the record Sophie was meant to make 7 studio albums into her 25-year career, seeing her confidently return to her iconic dance-pop sound. Sophie collaborated with MNEK and Jon Shave (Charli XCX, Sugababes) on new single ‘Taste’,which is an immediate and fun pop song that builds to an alluring and joyous chorus.
Sophie says, “‘With ‘Taste’, I collaborated with MNEK and Jon Shave to write a playful, flirtatious pop song about chemistry. What can really make you want to be around someone is when their taste, what they like in life, is something you become addicted to. You want to experience all delights with them and share it with them as everything they introduce you to feels just right. All your senses feel alive and awake – like the full flavour of life is realised. Chef’s kiss.”
