What Spring Is Going To Sound Like (If You’re A Homosexual)
She has been MIA for a bit now, but Sophie Ellis Bextor is gearing up for a long awaited comeback and she has enlisted the gayest electronica duo since the Pet Shop Boys to help her out. I am referring to, of course, The Freemasons. This new song, “Bittersweet” turns out to be a very appropriate return to forum for Sophie. It has her (and the Freemasons) doing what they do best: dramatic euro disco, somewhere inbetween London and Italy, where Donna Summer would meet up with Rachel Stevens for tea. The chorus is so big, I want ballons to fall from the sky during it (that actually did happen last year when I saw Kylie perform the Freemasons’ remix of “The One,” but thats another story, and yes, it was amazing). Thusfar, only the Freemasons Radio Edit has been released, I don’t know if its going to turn out to be the same thing as the “Offical Edit,” (those things are funny) but I am very glad that Sophie hasn’t thrown in the towel on being a post-30 pop star, because, after all, 40 is just around the corner for Kylie.
