Sophie Ellis-Bextor Unveils Vibrant New Single “Vertigo”
Sophie Ellis-Bextor has dropped “Vertigo,” a pulsating dance anthem brimming with vivid synthesizers that promise to light up any dancefloor. The track is slated to appear on her forthcoming eighth studio album, a project already generating buzz among fans.
Crafted in collaboration with Hannah Robinson and James Greenwood, “Vertigo” showcases Ellis-Bextor’s knack for blending infectious energy with polished pop sensibilities. Robinson, known for her work with artists like Ladyhawke and Carl Cox, brings a sharp edge to the song, while Greenwood—not to be confused with Radiohead’s Jonny Greenwood—lends his production prowess, having previously worked with Alison Goldfrapp and Foxes.
This release follows a prolific period for the British singer. Earlier in 2025, she unveiled the heartfelt single “Relentless Love,” and in October 2024, she captivated listeners with the nocturnal shimmer of “Freedom of the Night.” Both tracks are expected to join “Vertigo” on the new album. Whispers online suggest the record might be titled “The Invisible Line,” though Ellis-Bextor has clarified that this is merely a working title. No official release date has been confirmed, but speculation on platforms like Genius points to potential tracks such as “Time,” “Taste,” “Devotion,” “Until It’s Gone,” and “What Love’s About.”
Ellis-Bextor’s most recent album, “Hana,” arrived in June 2023, marking a reflective chapter in her discography. Later that year, her 2001 classic “Murder on the Dancefloor” found a new audience through its prominent placement in the film Saltburn. The song surged back into the charts, sparking a wave of fresh opportunities for the singer. In 2024, she performed over 100 concerts—a career high—embracing the resurgence with open arms. “Not every artist gets a moment like this later in their journey,” she recently shared, reflecting on her renewed spotlight.
On April 10, Ellis-Bextor celebrated her 46th birthday, her creative spark burning brighter than ever.
