Sophie Ellis-Bextor - Wild Forever

Following the release of sixth album Familia, Sophie Ellis-Bextor has announced she will release new single Wild Forever on 27th January, via EBGB’s/Red Essential, with a new video available to watch now. She has also announced a February and March UK tour.
 
Familia, which charted at #12, follows Sophie Ellis Bextor’s #4 charting and silver certified album Wanderlust, which marked a critically acclaimed change in musical direction for Sophie. Following suit with her last record, Familia was also co-written, produced and arranged by acclaimed singer-songwriter and good friend Ed Harcourt and was recorded in London with a close-knit group of musician friends.
 
Discussing her new album as “the bolshier, more extrovert little sister to Wanderlust”, Familia was introduced by the Radio 2 A-List track Come With Us, which is an instant disco-pop anthem, and second single Crystallise, offering a more romantic glimpse into Familia. New single Wild Forever is a buoyant alt-pop track with cascading synths and melodic keys that builds to a captivating chorus. The bright and retro-inspired video, set in Mexico, was shot by long-term collaborator Sophie Muller and is available to watch now Wild Forever video.
 
After a busy live circuit around Wanderlust with packed out festival performances and sold out headline tours, which garnered a host of rave live reviews, Sophie launched Familia with a one-off intimate London show at Bush Hall. She has now announced a UK tour in February and March 2017, kicking off in Norwich on 16th February and culminating at London’s Koko on 1st March.
