Sophie Ellis-Bextor lives the sweet life on Dolce Vita – the latest single from her upcoming eighth studio album ‘Perimenopop‘.

Written by Sophie alongside Karma Kid, Baz Kaye and Clementine Douglas, the tune builds into a vibrant anthem about escapism and embracing new experiences.

The Heartbreak (Make Me A Dancer) singer says: “Dolce Vita is inspired by the way you feel about yourself when you’re somewhere unfamiliar. You can reinvent yourself and no one knows your story.

Mighty Hoopla headed Down Under

Haircut 100 reunite for first album in 40 years

“When I was writing it, I had this little subplot in my head of someone with a criminal past longing to flee and start again somewhere new!

“But it works too that it’s just the nostalgic pull of a foreign trip where you really got to escape for a little while.”

It follows the previously released tracks Freedom Of The Night, Relentless Love, Vertigo and Taste. 

‘Perimenopop’ is out September 12 and available to pre-order from Amazon, HMV, Rough Trade, Townsend and more. Listen to Dolce Vita below.
