Personally I think it is refreshing for an artist who achieved commercial success during the beginning of their career to further adapt and change their sound in order to react to the musical marketplace. So many performers nowadays rest on the laurels of the hits they achieved decades ago and feel no need to create anything you could consider new. This is not true of London singer/songwriter Sophie Ellis-Bextor.
The electro artist turned baroque pop singer is a shining example of the ability to develop as a performer. Her live show is now a showcase of new whimsical tracks lifted from latest album 'Wanderlust' along with the old classic singles from the disco revival of the early 00s. She guides the audience through the narratives of 'Love is A Camera' and '13 Little Dolls' before a quick costume change and a second act of sorts begins. This is all about the dance as the lights dim and she launches into 'Take Me Home' 'Sing It Back' and of course 'Murder on the Dancefloor'. Sophie is a perfectly versatile performer with a whole career still ahead of her.
