Bittersweet is the song of the day on Popjustice. Here's what PJ has to say:
This is a song so completely above-average that just thirty seconds will leave you holding your head in your hands while softly sobbing "why? WHY? WHY IS THIS SONG SO AMAZING? HOW, HAVING BEEN GRANTED THIS SMALL GLIMPSE INTO THE WORLD OF THE NEARLY-PERFECT POP TUNE, WILL I EVER BE ABLE TO LISTEN TO ANOTHER SONG EVER AGAIN? DAMN YOU SOPHIE ELLIS-BEXTOR. DAMN YOU 'BIFF AND THE FREEMASONS'. DAMN YOU FASCINATION RECORDS. DAMN YOU ALL TO HELL'.
And then, of course, you'll have a bit of a cup of tea, maybe listen to 'Bad Romance' a few times and gradually you'll start to calm down but let's be honest here, 'Bittersweet' is pretty much the complete opposite of a crap pop record.
WELCOME BACK SOPHIE.
Definitely, welcome back, Soph!

Bittersweet radio rip
On 08 March 2010
Here's a rip of Bittersweet mix which was played on the radio earlier today:
In other news, this week is really busy for Sophie. She's doing the album and single photoshoot, then a press photoshoot. After that on Wednesday, she's filming Can't Fight This Feeling in France. On Thursday, she returns to the UK and learns the dancing steps for Bittersweet, which will be shot on Friday. Then on March 17, she's going to perform in Little World Festival in Meribel, France.
Oh yes, a couple of days ago, she twitted that Make A Scene is not good enough for album title, so she decided to change it.

News on 4th album + pics
On 24 February 2010
Sophie attended The Elle Style Awards along with Richard last Monday. She talked to Digital Spy about 4th album, entitled Make A Scene:
Sophie Ellis-Bextor has revealed that her new album is called "Make A Scene".
She described the title - taken from the chorus lyrics to one of the album's songs - as a reference to "being comfortable in your own skin".
"Especially now that I'm doing my fourth record, I feel like I know what it is that I do. I'm not trying to conform to anyone else's idea of what I should be up to," she told Digital Spy backstage at the Elle Style Awards.
Ellis-Bextor described the record - which features collaborations with producers including Calvin Harris, Richard X, Metronomy's Joe Mount, former Sneaker Pimps star Liam Howe and Dutch DJ Armin van Buuren - as her "danciest yet".
She also revealed that the 12-track album is "all done and dusted" and will be released in the autumn.
It will be preceded by the single 'Bittersweet', which is expected to receive its radio premiere within the next fortnight.
"It's another song I did with the Freemasons. It's very pop-dance," she said. "I think the chorus sounds a little bit like it's from a musical - it's quite sort of dramatic and melodic, and a bit meandering in a good way."
Check out the complete video below:
Still on Make A Scene, according to jp (member of the official forum):
[Make A Scene] is going to be HUGE!!! There are so many strong tracks it is untrue!! Bittersweet is a surefire disco stomper... it will be massive! 'Revolution' has to be a single, I cannot write in words how much I love this track!! 2010 is going to be a big one!!
And the release of Bittersweet has been pushed back to May 2nd with the album to follow after another single. In the interview above, Sophie said she makes the music and Fascination decides when it's better to release the stuff (so now we can blame Fascination for the delays ).
I've added some pictures, including HQ ones, of Sophie at The Elle Style Awards. Thanks my dear friend Cat for donating. And it is unfair how great Sophie looks...
Also, thanks to Kirten, I've added the covers of Just Can't Fight This Feeling, which has been released in France. Thank you, Kirten !
The Freemasons played their mix of Bittersweet at the Ivy in Sidney. Thanks to kmitalian, we're able to listen a little bit of the most wanted Sophie's new single Bittersweet.
And finally, Sophie said on her Twitter she already has a name for her album!
yay! i have finally named the album! poor little thing has been nameless up until now..

Final Q&A
On 18 February 2010
Here's the final part of Sophie's Q&A:
Today is the final part of our special Q&A with Sophie and this week she answers a few more questions from her Twitter followers.
Read on below as Sophie fills us in on her new album, dishes out advice on getting on in the music industry and much more!
And you're still as excited by music? Oh, completely. I think I've really made a conscious effort to still be a fan of music, rather than one of those veteran pop stars who forget what a brilliant job it is. I want to still be excited about it... read more.
In the third part of her interview, Sophie answers questions asked by her Twitter followers:
Last week we caught up with Sophie Ellis Bextor for all the latest album news! Today, Sophie answers some questions sent in from her fans over on Twitter...
So, we asked your Twitter followers for some questions for you. One of them said, "Oh, so this is a fake Twitter, f***ing liars". What?! So, he thinks all the tweets haven't been me? Actually, my brother got a bit annoyed with me because when I started Twitter, it was just after I'd had Kit and I was in that hormonal bubble when you've just had a baby and I kept on putting tweets up like "I'm now breastfeeding on Brighton pier". My brother made me stop doing that. So, if I had a fake me, I'd really like to think they'd have a little bit more discretion and perhaps be a little bit more pop... read more.
