Welcome to the glorious and magical disco-pop anthem ‘Freedom of the Night’, the brand-new single from Sophie Ellis-Bextor, out today on Sophie’s new musical home of Decca Records.

An energetic, fun, and glitteringly catchy track, ‘Freedom of the Night’ sees Sophie enter a new era with a confident return to her iconic and esteemed disco-pop sound. Working with both classic and new collaborators, the track sees Sophie back together with Biff Stannard (Kylie, JADE) and Shura and collaborating with Chris Greatti (Willow Smith, The Dare) and David Wrench (Jamie XX, Hot Chip).

Sophie says, "I have always been someone that needs music to help me recalibrate and ‘Freedom of the Night’ is all about that feeling. Music as a form of release and a little bit of hedonism. I’ve always needed that energy in my life, and I know I’m not alone. As the song says, sometimes you need to give in to what you want.”

With an impressive musical career that spans over 25-years, Sophie has achieved five top 10 albums and eight top 10 singles. With hits including ‘Murder on the Dancefloor’‘Take Me Home’, ‘Get Over You’‘Heartbreak (Make Me a Dancer)’ and many more, ‘Freedom of the Night’ is the beginning of a return to Sophie’s distinctive sound, embracing her musical roots across pop, disco, and dance.

Most recently, after featuring in the epic final scene of Emerald Fennell’s film ‘Saltburn’, Sophie’s beloved 2001 hit ‘Murder on the Dancefloor’ saw a huge resurgence, charting at #2 in the UK Singles Chart and #58 In the Billboard Top 100, with the song reaching over 11 billion global streams across all streaming and social platforms.

Sophie has recently toured sold-out headline shows across Europe and the US, supported Nile Rodgers, and appeared at festivals across the world, including performing with Peggy Gou during her set at Glastonbury, following her own set on the legendary Pyramid Stage in 2023.

Next up, Sophie is supporting Take That in Australia in November and The Human League across the UK this December. Look out for more tour news and announcements coming soon including a video for ‘Freedom of the Night’ launching next Friday.
