NEW MUSIC WE LOVE: Sophie Ellis-Bextor’s “Breaking The Circle”

February 8, 2023 Albumism Staff
Sophie Ellis-Bextor Breaking The Circle HANA

Although nearly seven years have passed since Sophie Ellis-Bextor released her sixth studio album Familia in September 2016, the dynamic singer-songwriter-performer has remained highly visible due to her multitude of projects.

Notable among these endeavors are her career-spanning collection The Song Diaries (2019) featuring orchestral versions of her beloved hit singles, her endearingly cathartic ‘Kitchen Disco’ performance series that lifted weary spirits during pandemic-driven lockdown, and her subsequent compilations Songs From The Kitchen Disco (2020) and Kitchen Disco – Live at the London Palladium (2022). Oh, and she also found the time to host the podcast Spinning Plates with Sophie Ellis-Bextor and publish her autobiography Spinning Plates: Music, Men, Motherhood and Me (2022).

And today, much to her loyal devotees’ delight, the London born-and-bred pop star has unveiled “Breaking The Circle” as the lead single from her forthcoming seventh studio LP HANA due in stores June 2nd.

“HANA is an album inspired by a 2020 trip to japan, before the world tilted,” Ellis-Bextor explains via Twitter. “It’s name means blossom. There are themes of optimism, new starts, adventures and reflections.”
