Roger Sanchez ft. Sophie Ellis-Bextor - Work It Out (full stream)

The full song:

thanks to Dedei for the song

ABSOLUTELY LOVE IT! It's very Trip The Light Fantastic and Read My Lips. It should have been released... Polydor were foolish to have prevented Roger from using this. Plus, if Can't Fight This Feeling found a place on Make A Scene, I can't see why this wouldn't have a place on the album as well.

Here are the lyrics:

You've got me hooked with just a touch : C'mon and notice it's all too much : I give an inch, come take your mile : It's time for progress, not for denial : Maybe I'm fooling myself over you : Oh, I can't help it : Now there's no point in us playing it cool : No, I thought you felt it :: 'cos I'm giving you the signs : Can't you work it out? : I'm going out my mind : C'mon work it out! :: I'm not afraid to set it straight : I wanna show you and I can't wait : Your hold on me, its plain to see : This spell I'm under won't let me free : I could be fooling myself over you : Oh it can't be healthy : Now there's no point in us playing it cool : No, I gotta know where this is leading me :: 'cos I'm giving you the signs : Can't you work it out? : I'm going out my mind : C'mon work it out! :: I want you here with me, I can't take it anymore : It's just so plain to see but somehow you ignore : I'm giving you the signs to love : Why don't you read them? : I'm giving you a try at us : Why don't you see it? : I'm giving you a time to stand up : So come and do it! : I'm giving you a chance to be loved : Why don't you use it? :: 'cos I'm giving you the signs : Can't you work it out? : I'm going out my mind : C'mon work it out :: Either you're with me, or you're not : Either we got it, or we stop.

Sophie Ellis-Bextor - Work It Out (leak snippet 2)

So, a second snippet of the Roger Sanchez and Sophie demo has just leaked. And MY GOD it sounds fantastic! I don't understand why Polydor stopped Roger from releasing this song. It sounds like it has the potential to chart somewhere high in the top 20. Record Labels can be really stupid sometimes...

Anyway, here's the second snippet. Apparently its the middle-8.

And here's the earlier one, in case you missed it.

I love how she's screaming "work it out" just before the middle-8 kicks in. She sounds sexy in this song. I hope it leaks in full. This and Did I sound fantastic - both outtakes from the Make A Scene era.

Roger Sanchez collab may remain unreleased

British pop singer Sophie Ellis-Bextor has recorded a track for your album. How was it working with her? I produced a song that the Nervo Girls wrote to and Sophie sang on it. Unfortunately, it didn’t make it on her album and the label won’t allow me to release it on mine. Sophie is a talented artiste and it was great working with her.

thanks to Fran and NunyaB for the heads-up

As if things weren't bad already! I wonder why Fascination are so annoying when it comes to releases. I hope that they're saving it up for an iTunes bonus or an Asian bonus. Sanchez is HUUUGE here I know he's a pretty big name in most parts of the world. They should really let him use the track or at least give us the track as an iTunes bonus or a region specific bonus tracks.

Hopefully the second single comes out soon. They have a good album in their hands and they'll end up screwing it by delaying releases, cancelling collaborations and what not!

Digital Spy's review (5 stars!!) + Sophie's internet hate + collaboration with Roger Sanchez

I know i hadn't posted about "Sophie's internet hate", even though it's all over the internet already. I was just waiting for readers and casual onlookers to discover the new leak "Did I?"

If you haven't already heard the song, please check the previous post. You're missing out on one hell of an amazing song. Sophierazzi salutes Sophie for that marvellous track. It's the perfect example for a short and sweet track.

Anyway, Nick Levine from Digital Spy gave Sophie's new single 5 stars, and he also gave an early review. I hope Sophie gets a lot of good reviews like this.

Last year's 'Heartbreak (Make Me A Dancer)' was a bona fide dancefloor delight,
so it's little wonder that Sophie Ellis-Bextor - perhaps our most under-appreciated pop princess - has teamed up with the Freemasons again for the first single from her upcoming fourth album. However, 'Bittersweet' is no twin sister to 'Heartbreak' - more a close-ish cousin you wouldn't mind sharing a frappucino with on a sunny Spring afternoon.

In only slightly more sensible terms, it's a big spangly club thumper with a pleasing hint of the '80s to it - the pop equivalent of that surprisingly elegant sequinned boob tube at the back of your mum's wardrobe. "I know I shouldn't go, but something makes me crave the heat," Soph sings on the wistful/uplifting chorus, "Your love is bittersweet, so here I am." You know that feeling when you're falling for someone you know you shouldn't - sort of excited and hesitant all at the same
time? Well, 'Bittersweet' pretty much nails it.

And, the news about Sophie's internet hate. I don't know why it got branded as "hate". I'm sure she doesn't "hate" the internet. She doesn't like to google up herself, which is contradictory to what she had told previously (she loved to google up "I hate Sophie Ellis-Bextor". Then again that could have just been a sarcastic comment. Oh well)

Sophie Ellis-Bextor will never look herself up on the internet because she is worried about reading negative criticism of herself.

Sophie Ellis-Bextor won't Google herself.

The 'Bittersweet' singer admits she is curious about searching for herself on the internet but refuses to give in to her urge because she doesn't want to read anything negative.

She said: "As for forums and people dissecting stuff, I don't know. Those things can be kind of... It's not intended for me to view. So I think it would be unwise of me to look. People might be really positive but all you can remember is all the negative stuff. I try and steer clear on the whole."

"You know what it's like? You know when you're at school and you leave the room and you get the idea people are talking about you and you kind of want to know what they're saying. But it's best you don't."

The 31-year-old pop star - who has two children, Sonny, five, and 14-month-old Kit Valentine, with The Feeling guitarist Richard Jones - thinks the web is bad for musicians because you can see criticisms instantly.

She explained to BANG Showbiz: "The internet has made everyone so self-centred. I don't think it's good for my head. You can check your Facebook and if you put a video on YouTube you can check that. And then you can check where your name is being discussed. It's not good to be so aware of all those things."

Sophie's new single 'Bittersweet' is released May 3.

AND, we couldn't tape the MTV show, but Sophie revealed on MTV Dance that she worked with Roger Sanchez on his new album. Keep your eyes peeled Sophiedroids. This year is going to be a fabulous year for Sophie *excited*
