New Music: Stay On Me

           

Sophie Ellis-Bextor has just unveiled her eighth studio album, Perimenopop, and with it she marks a confident return to bold, celebratory pop. At the same time, alongside the album release, Sophie dropped her shimmering new single "Stay On Me" with an accompanying video, co-written by Selena Gomez, Julia Michaels, Kid Harpoon, and Caroline Ailin. Perimenopop features contributions from longtime collaborators such as Biff Stannard, Hannah Robinson, and Ed Harcourt, while also welcoming new creative partners including Nile Rodgers, Sigrid, and MNEK. The result is an album that embodies mid-life joy, a theme Sophie has openly embraced.peaking on "Stay On Me," Sophie described it as “a celebration of being with your person and knowing—trusting—they only have eyes for you. It’s romantic and has a little nonchalant bop to it.” Filmed in South-West Ireland with acclaimed cinematographer Robbie Ryan and directed by Sophie Muller, the video marks the pair’s 19th collaboration, further extending a trusted creative partnership.
