This sultry European import will delight dance music fans. She manages to be contemporary, while honoring/throwing back to the times of both disco and techno. Thoroughly enjoyable & sexy.

While I was touring through Europe last summer, this album could be heard blaring out of most any club, most any car-stereo, and for good reason; it's no-frills, well-produced, perfectly disposible dancefloor eurodisco that still sounds melodic, and won't urge you to kick the speakers down after listening to it.

What really got me is SEB's vocal delivery; like the Backstreet Boys first few albums, the beats are perfectly suited to her sultry (and very British) voice, and the production is flawless--Nile Rodgers, eat your heart out.

It's not breaking any new ground, but with killer singles like "Murder On The Dancefloor" and "Get Over You", it doesn't have to be.

This has to be one of the best albums ever. All the songs have good beats and they are all great to dance to. Her single murder on the dancefloor reached number 3 in the Australian single charts until it went down. Get over you is not on this album but you can still buy it on single in record stores or on her Read my lips (+3 tracks). The +3 edition has groovejet(if this ain't love) feat. DJ Spiller. Another great song. Sophie Ellis Bextor's 'Read my lips' is excellent for all ages and has great songs. You'll be reading her lips!!!!!!!

This album was recommended to me by someone who had lived in Europe, and I have to say I was pleasantly surprised. This CD is really good, not even just a couple of tracks. Very "pop" but entertaining.

We used to have a fantastic dance (radio) station in the Dallas area that played Sophie's tunes...sadly, it got overrun by hip/hop & latino music. At any rate, when I found this CD online over a year later, I knew I had to have it. It took almost 2 weeks to arrive, but it was well worth the wait. Murder on the Dance Floor is the best song on the CD, but tracks 2, 3, 8 & 13 follow closely. Sophie has a beautiful voice that really compliments the music. If you are a fan of techno/dance music, I highly recommend you add this album to your CD Collection.
