Love Heist is not a new song at all

Well, according to fascination
"‘Love Heist’ is actually a demo from Sophie’s 3rd album. This is definitely NOT her next single"

Well, there you go. Officially confirmed, not on her 4th album. It was a good track though. I really wish some of these songs are uploaded on iTunes or Napster. This idea has been suggested several times on Sophie's official website, on PopJustice.

Sophie's fans are all willing to pay for the unreleased songs. I wonder why the label hasn't considered this idea at all... If they do consider this, i would love to hear these:
Love Heist - cos the song is amazing!
Dontcha Wanna Get Crazy - i've been crazy about this ever since the title was revealed
Fake Love To Me - doesn't it sound amazing!?
Revenge - i love this song. I would love to hear Sophie's voice on it

FASCINATION please release these on iTunes...

Thanks Wextor for confirming this with Fascination

in the mood for more Sophie unreleased tracks?

Well here you go then,

Pop Wow is kinda silly. Its a gay anthem, i can so imagine Geri Halliwell doing this. Mr. Friday is very good, it would have been huge if it was a single. Bloody hell! Trip The Light Fantastic should have been a 2CD album. There are so many good songs which are locked up in Sophie's unreleased songs vault! :)

Kudos to Sophie, Paul and Shelly for these two songs!

Here are the lyrics (thanks to Paul "Littlefish" for Pop Wow)

MR. FRIDAY
Hey, what's your name?
Been watching you
I noticed too
That you, you look the same
I'd like to see you
You look again

So lets just take it easy
Progressing through the dance
Our words can set the tempo
My heart is beating fast

I need to hold it steady
Because you raised the bar
I feel intoxicated
Show me who you are

Friday brought you to me
Friday finest day of the week
Oh it's a good day when love comes around
Hey Mr. Friday baby, don't leave town

Boy, when you speak
I feel my heart
Skip a beat
Oh a what a night
It's quite a ride
So hold on tight

I introduce the notion
I want to make you mine
I like your loving potion
Drink it down like wine

So now I'm feeling heady
My thoughts are crystal clear
The world is full of wonder
When you are near

Friday brought you to me
Friday finest day of the week
Oh it's a good day when love comes around
Hey Mr. Friday baby, don't leave town

Oh on the one day blues had to go
Because Friday came and stole the show
Hey Mr. Friday, what do you say?
We watch Friday baby, turn into Saturday

Through the night to the sunrise
Every moment I'm with you, I'm so alive
When we wake to a new day
I will be just be waiting till its Friday

Friday brought you to me
Friday finest day of the week
Oh it's a good day when love comes around
Hey Mr. Friday baby, don't leave town

Oh on the one day blues had to go
Because Friday came and stole the show
Hey Mr. Friday, what do you say?
We watch Friday baby, turn into Saturday


POP WOW
Can you read what I think of you?
I feel like you could turn my pages
Don't judge this book by her cover, boy
I want to draw this out for ages

It's coming to midnight, darling
So what are we gonna do?
Don't you feel like you're missing something?
Baby let go

Pop. Wow! Here I am
Oh you turn me on
How about I dress it up
With my high heels on?

Pop. Wow! You and me
Aren't we just the bomb
Plug me in and charge me up
Let's make electric

I feel sparks when I'm next to you
Though I'm trying not to react
Lightning strikes more than once tonight
With every bit of visual content

I'm not in a hurry darling
To make you my very own
What ever will be will happen
I'm out of control

Pop. Wow! Here I am
Oh you turn me on
How about I dress it up
With my high heels on?

Pop. Wow! You and me
Aren't we just the bomb
Plug me in and charge me up
Let's make electric

If I have my way
We'll ride up the dawn
So what do you say?
I can see in your eyes
That tonight is fine
Leave up behind
because I can hear you say
You say "Pop. Wow!"

Pop. Wow! Here I am
Oh you turn me on
How about I dress it up
With my high heels on?

Pop. Wow! You and me
Aren't we just the bomb
Plug me in and charge me up
Let's make electric

"LOVE HEIST" - Sophie Ellis-Bextor's new song

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=P7GSM4aEua8
I think its called Love Heist. Its not on the list of songs that we have right now. It's a brand new song alright. It sounds very country disco to me.. It got me all tingly! You'll love it!
Its very Groovejet meets Murder meets Catch You, with a tinge of theaudience! Yum! Its very very different from what she did on Trip The Light Fantastic (correction, what she released on Trip The Light Fantastic)

EDIT - this is the new single which will be out in Jan next year. Thankfully the single hasn't leaked in full. My inside source confirmed that it is a new song, and it was recorded freshly - 2 or 3 weeks ago. I'm still unsure about who the producer is. But we'll soon find out.

I just collected a few responses from here and there (PJ, UKMix, SEB-online, Youtube)

• The Johnster - I'm not sure I really like it, it sounds as though its trying to be Not Fair meets Miss You Bow Wow. The middle 8 is nice, but the rest is fairly average in my opinion.
• SloMover - Return of Murder Sophie? Sort of that organic disco sound and all.
• Nunya B - I really like it (shocking, I know). Same lyrical themes as Catch You, totally different genre. The chorus is really catchy but not obvious.
• 3Xs - Oh wow I really like this! Glad she is going back to that Murder sound, that was her best song imho.
• Axie - Wow, it sounds great. Like a return to roots without recycling old material. I love it!
• dominic spez - Why is everyone saying this is a return to her Murder sound? It doesn't sound anything like Muder. Sounds fab though.
• SockMonkey - Great track. Love it. Wouldn't be a hit single, but I already want a proper version! It's definitely an album track or a b-side as opposed to single material.
• aMusicListener - Sounds a little 'demo' but is still amazing. It can't be the new single. She said it was coming out by January.
• Ice Cream Skies - I like it very much.
• toby3000 - love it, I can't wait to have it on CD in 2014....
• Vignesh - Love it!! Cnt wait for new Sophie Ellis Bextor!
• IceAngel - Why is her music so perfect for catwalk stuff? They put her songs in a lot of reports from fashion shows etc hehe Cool song
• franpopstar - I absolutely love Sophie's new song!!!! :D It's amazing!!!! :D
• djodjo - It's very catchy

So, Sophie, if you're reading this... We're all very proud of you!

Thanks "djodjo" @ Sophie Online, for updating us

Not really news but..

"Kazakhstan has been very welcolming. Gig great. Off to moscow in 1 hr. Sleep a bit pointless..."
WHOA!? Kazakhstan!! When the hell did she go there!? Moscow means there's going to be another gig. Darn it Sophie. Are you performing any new tracks anywhere?

In other news:
Georgia May Jagger and Coco Rocha are announced as the new faces of beauty brand Rimmel London. The pair will join Kate Moss, Lily Cole and Sophie Ellis-Bextor as icons for the British make-up brand, and will appear in advertising campaigns next year. Now i understand if Coco is taken, but Jagger is "FUGLY"!!! I always thought Moss was disgusting-looking, but now they've picked someone even worse! Oh well, at least Sophie (and Lily) add beauty to their brand!

Sophie's fourth album is still in progress - some updates

A few days ago, Sophie tweeted that her official website would get a make-over soon. I couldn't wait, so i changed the header on the blog - what are your thoughts about it? Cos for the first time, its not neat and organised.. Montage, dare i say.
Anyway, the fourth album is still in progress. As Sophie continues to record, we get little bits of information from her official website and her twitter:

ONE -
Sophie is song-writing in LA. She mentioned this already on her twitter.
"in LA. what should i do while i'm here? any restaurant recommendations? am here to songwrite primarily but can make time to eat of course.."
She has also been flying to Sweeden to add some final touches to her material. Any guesses as to who she is working there? :)

TWO -
There could be a song called "Let's Go Out", cos that is what i gathered from a Twitter conversation:
Julian: hey sophie, how are you? did yo hear 'let's go out' yet? you likes? jules x
Sophie: i haven't had the latest version. would love to hear it. i'm sure i'll love it. hope you're good.
Julian: can you whizz me a direct message with your email on it and i'll send? x
But this could be wrong speculation. For all we know it is one of the songs he produced and wanted to Sophie to listen if she wanted something similar.

THREE -
Her official website says she is working with Greg Kurstin again, which i think is a very good thing. I have been saying that she should work with Greg again. I think Fascination is trying to purchase another instant hit for her, well, works for me.
"Working with some of the biggest names in the business, Sophie has got together with Greg Kurstin, who added the sparkle to Sophie’s "Catch You", Kylie Minogue’s hit single “Wow” and some of Lily Allen’s top tracks."

FOUR -
She is working with Andreas Kleerup
"Hitmaker Andreas Kleerup has also been working alongside Sophie, who you will know as the man behind Robyn’s smash No. 1 record “With Every Heartbeat."
I'm not a fan of any of Robyn's works. But i gather that she is liked by a lot of people, so i'm hoping she comes up with something amazing with Kleerup.

FIVE -
There MIGHT be a new single in January. Sophie stated on her twitter that she will have a new single in January. But i'm guessing that is just a possibility, considering her release schedule statistics.
"new single in january.. x"

SIX -
Sophie knew how to play the guitar when she was in theaudience, but she tried not to play because of one funny incident when she played a wrong note (or something like that) live. She also knows how to play the piano. Now she is learning to play a new instrument.
"i am going to learn xylophone and play a solo on all my stuff. under a spotlight. wouldn't that be great!"

What's going to happen to Sophie? (with fan responses)

Sophie has a number of public appearances lined up. Its good to know that she is practically everywhere. But is that all we want. Few years ago, Sophie was this little person who made amazing music, but she was not your typical celebrity who is always seen everywhere. Now Sophie is your regular social activist, but her musical career is left dangling somewhere! Will Sophie end becoming a part time musician with her occasional modeling offers and public appearances? Express your views.....

theberen says:
Her management aren't pushy enough & she's throwing her career away. The new album will flop, a GH will be pushed out (& probably another baby as well) & that's it. She sticks to occasional modelling & motherhood.

Rebirth says:
this will be her last regular album and it will flop hard and it's her fault. Maybe she will pull out a "Greatest Hits" in 2 years or 3 years, but that's it...she is not pushy enough, she is waiting for nothing..

Cactuar says:
I think her next single will flop, charting at around #55 or somewhere equivalent, and then the album will be cancelled, and then 4 months later a Greatest Hits nobody knew existed will be released a la Jamelia.

Skelofect says:
I think her 4th album should be called Discussion and it's not in album format, it's in the format of a topic and we just discuss the album. That way it will definitely exist.

RRC says:
She's a strange fixture in British public life, forever popping up in places. I think if she comes back with a great lead single and can sustain interest, she can take as long as she wants, really. Heartbreak didn't exactly storm the charts but it didn't die on its arse, either, which it could well have done given the absence of any real Promo / support.

anfunny2003 says:
The problem is (as everyone keeps saying) that there's so many problems with SEB. Seriously, I think she should just go mad and do a workout DVD and a book and take drugs. Sophie Ellis-Bextor - The Wild Years. Then she can do a raw, gutsy album in 2012.

aMusicListener says:
I think it is Sophie who wants to work further on the album. The label would simply have made her sing a surefire hit by some big producer and get it released soon. I honestly think that Sophie is the one not happy with it and I trust her judgement. I'd rather wait another 6 months for a great record than having a mediocre album released next Monday.

Nunya B says:
I think the problem is SEB has put SEB on the back burner… sigh.

SomethingKindaUgh says:
Being a Sophie Ellis-Bextor fan is about as more stressful than dating

Vasilios says:
I think this album has 15% chances to come out. What about you?

Davidavies says:
She has got to release a single before christmas... I don't care if it's a shitty single that doesn't even make it into the top 100.... (Which it obviously would do, it's Sophie! Let's not forget that "Today The Sun's On Us", which I still love, just scraped into the top 100)... I want a new Sophie single!!

MSernity says:
This is getting slightly ridiculous. I wish she would just release the album, fuck promotion.
