I predict that it’s only a matter of time before Sophie Ellis-Bextor is dropped from her label! And it seems that record bosses are scrambling to try and recoup their losses by telling Sophie to change her next single.The pop singer originally planned to release ‘Off & On’ from her upcoming album: ‘Straight To The Heart’
It’s now been decided that her collaboration with Dutch DJ/producer Armin van Buuren will be released instead.
“It's called ‘Not Giving Up’ and I'm really excited about doing it. I'm filming a video with him very soon," she confirmed at the BAFTA TV Awards.
She’s putting on brave face insisting that she was happy with the performance of her most recent single ‘Bittersweet’ which only peaked at No.25 on the UK singles chart last month (and failing to chart anywhere in Europe)
“You know what, I'm totally at peace with it. I still love the song. This might sound like something you only say after something hasn't done fantastically, but I can honestly say with my hand on my heart that I've had a long career and I don't get bogged down with that kind of thing,” she said.
Sophie has failed to have a UK Top.10 hit since February 2007 and she hasn’t had a European hit since 2003
If her album fails to set the charts alight it’ll certainly be the final nail for her to dropped.
