Sophie Ellis Bextor Talks About Her New Single ‘Bittersweet’

did a Q&A on her official web site, with several questions pertaining to her new single ‘Bittersweet’, which she wrote just after giving birth to her son Kit. Asked where she penned the track, the British pop singer responded:

It was a very, very relaxed writing session just after I’d come back from hospital. I was taking things easy and Hannah Robinson, who I write a lot with, came round. I was still feeding Kit at the time, so I had to keep stopping every two or three hours to feed him. I remember at one point in particular I was actually feeding him while I was writing. I was thinking, “This is pretty much the modern pop star – feeding a baby and writing a dance track!”.

Is Sophie Ellis Bextor Feeling Pressured To Deliver Successful Album?

answered a few questions from fans submitted to her Twitter on her blog at MySpace on Thursday (February 11), including one who wondereed how critical is the success of her upcoming album for her career and if she’s feeling pressure ahead of its release. Sophie responded:

Ooh, that is an intelligent question. I would say the least critical out of everything, actually. Because I kind of feel like I do what I do now. Although that being said, you obviously want it to do well and I’m really pleased with it. But I don’t feel as much pressure, because I feel like I’m here now, y’know? I feel like I’ll be able to put out another album after this, no matter what.

Sophie Ellis Bextor “All Done” With New Album

did a Q&A on her official web site, discussing work she’s having done around the house and details about her new album ‘Another Love’.

Aside from Ikea hell, how are things with you?
Really good, thanks. The album’s all done, which is a nice position to be in.

So, what’s the timeline from here?
I’m hoping to get my first lot of video treatments in today and I will be filming a video at the beginning of February. And then the scheduled release for the single is the beginning of April. We’re just choosing photographers for the artwork and doing a brief for the direction and that sort of thing. Fun stuff.

Will the album come shortly after the single?
No, I think we’re going to do two singles and then the album, actually. In fact, it’ll be almost three, because I’ve got Heartbreak on there as well.

Sophie Ellis Bextor 2 Or 3 Songs Away From Finishing New Album

did a Q&A on her MySpace blog, talking about her baby Kit and 5-year-old son Sonny, as well as her new Freemasons single ‘Heartbreak (Make Me A Dancer)’ and if she’s making progress on her new album. The 30-year-old pop star says on the latter topic:

Absolutely. I’ve got some really good stuff and we’re nearly there, but I think I probably need another two or three songs. There are a couple of collaborations in the offing which might be quite good.

We’ll see. It’s all a matter of people’s diaries tallying up. I always get in trouble for saying when things are coming out, because then they change. But if everything goes to plan, I’m hoping to put out another single after ‘Heartbreak’, maybe in August and then have the album out later this year. That’s the intention, anyway.

Sophie Ellis Bextor Blogs About Baby Son Kit

blogged at sparklingpregnancy.com about the birth of her second son Kit, who was born nine weeks early on February 7th. “I wouldn’t say it was easy having a premature baby again,” Sophie said, haven also given birth prematurely to Sonny, “it’s a traumatic experience, but Richard and I got through it by telling ourselves that if Kit wasn’t in hospital then I’d still be pregnant with him. Knowing there wasn’t any way that he’d be home with us no matter how things had gone made it easier so we just tried to go with the slight feeling of limbo and tried to be patient as he started to get well enough to come home.”
