Sophie Ellis-Bextor is back in a big way after her 2001 banger "Murder on the Dancefloor" was used in a pivotal (nude) scene in Emerald Fennel's Saltburn, and now she's released her first new song since re-entering the pop sphere with "Freedom of the Night."
A music video from "Murder on the Dancefloor" director Sophie Muller is coming next Friday.
In a statement about the track, Ellis-Bextor said:
I have always been someone that needs music to help me recalibrate, and "Freedom of the Night" is all about that feeling. Music as a form of release and a little bit of hedonism. I've always needed that energy in my life, and I know I'm not alone. As the song says, sometimes you need to give in to what you want.
In related news, Billboard reports that Ellis-Bextor (whose debut came out in 2001) is eligible for Best New Artist at next year's Grammys.
