Sophie Ellis-Bextor. She's like a persistent fly on a summer's day. You keep thinking she's gone, and then back she comes again, with a massive bloody tune in her mouth (the analogy falls down slightly at the end, change it to something better-Ed).
Love Machine was lucky enough to watch an evening of amazing pop at the Roundhouse in London a couple of weeks ago, the strength of the lineup shown by the fact that the 1st lady of British pop was a mere opening act. However, this meant she played just 25 minutes, and crammed the hits in like a big pop sardine tin. Love Machine wishes all gigs everywhere were like this.
However, she did play one new tune - Starlight (thank the Lord God above not a Live Lounge cover of the Muse borefest) - which we believe is a Richard X write. It is Sophie in musical form. Classy, lush and with great legs (this analogy falls down at the end too-don't use analogies if you can't do them properly-Ed).
This video doesn't do it justice but is the best we've found. It is basically appalling. But trust us, we were there, and it was amazing. It was like a Rolo, smooth, life-enhancing and great if you stick two together (you're fired-Ed)
N.B. How good is the bass player's dancing. You don't see that every day
