Sophie Ellis-Bextor - Trip the Light Fantastic
August 27th, 2007 by Chris TitmusCan you remember that annoying dance track that was played nearly every day on the radio stations? That song that was good the first fifty times you heard it, then it simply began to get annoying (Murder on the Dance Floor for all you people who were either socially isolated or mildly deaf)! Well she is back again, ready to annoy or excite a few more listeners.
Trip the Light Fantastic is the new album from the English pop-dance artist Sophie Ellis-Bextor. Catch You is a catchy song due to the very synth-styled dance music. It does however manage to drown out her vocals which are a real downside of the track.
The Distance Between Us is also another one of her slower songs. The background music sounds a little bit too fake. It would be more beneficial for Sophie’s music to use actual instruments rather than relying purely on the synthetic computer-generated music she uses in her current album. Overall the album is good if you like a mix of dance tracks and slow pop songs.
