Sophie Michelle Ellis-Bextor
The music of Sophie Michelle Ellis-Bextor is a peculiar and hugely successful mixture of pop, disco and electronic influences. Factoid: The British singer is one of the few in the pop business who employs a RP accent when performing. It's upfront here on "I won't change you".
Rainy Day came across the lovely Sophie last week when (channel) surfing in Spain. But instead of singing, she was speaking up for Verdi on the BBC World News classical music programme Visionaries. Funny old world.
