One of the stand out voices of the start of this millennium, Sophie Ellis-Bextor’s peak came in 2000 thanks to a #1 feature on Spiller’s Groovejet and then several solo hits followed shortly afterwards, along with a few dance features which I’ve documented here;

Groovejet (If This Ain’t Love) (with Spiller)


Circles (Just My Good Time) (with Busface)


Heartbreak Make Me A Dancer (with Freemasons)


Can’t Fight This Feeling (with Junior Caldero)


Not Giving Up On Love (with Armin van Buuren)


F**k With You (with Bob Sinclar & Gilbere Forte)


Beautiful (with Mathieu Boutheir)


Back 2 Paradise (with Guena LG & Amir Afargan)


Only Child (with DedRekoning)


Work Of Art (with Dan Gillespie Sells)


Hummingbird (with LCAW)



Which of her current dance features is your favourite?

Which dance producers would you like to see her feature with in the future?


A truly wonderful vocalist, and a shame that she doesn’t have more hits to her name as a featured artist, but I will always look back with fondness on one of the best British dance vocalists of this 21st century. Here’s my ratings;

1. Heartbreak Make Me A Dancer (with Freemasons)
2. Not Giving Up On Love (with Armin van Buuren)
3. Back 2 Paradise (with Guena LG & Amir Afargan)
4. Can’t Fight This Feeling (with Junior Caldero)
5. Groovejet (If This Ain’t Love) (with Spiller)
6. Beautiful (with Mathieu Boutheir)
7. Hummingbird (with LCAW)
8. Circles (Just My Good Time) (with Busface)
9. Only Child (with DedRekoning)
10. F**k With You (with Bob Sinclar & Gilbere Forte)
11. Work Of Art (with Dan Gillespie Sells)

Sadly I don’t hold out much hope on many more features to come, but there could still be a couple left for her to record in the future. It was tricky picking a producer that would work well for her voice, but I’ve selected Martin Solveig and Pep & Rash as potential artists for Sophie to work with soon.

Gotta be 'Heartbreak', what a classic and enduring barnstormer. wub.gif Although big shout out to 'Not Giving Up On Love', such a beauty.

There's a couple there at the bottom that I don't even know, and I call myself a fan! laugh.gif

Voted Heartbreak Make Me A Dancer & pleased to see that now with more votes than Groovejet!

Hmmm Pep & Rash feat. SEB? thinking.gif I could scarcely believe it but I want to hear that.

Would've voted for 'Heartbreak' if the original mix was the final mix (I know it only differs very slightly but it matters). 'Groovejet' is the way to go.

I mean, all the tracks with SEB on vocals are amazing at least!
Going for Can't Fight This Feeling tho, it was like everywhere 10 years ago in our radio stations, still gives me chills when i press play.
