Sophie Ellis-Bexter – A Pessimist is Never
Sophie Ellis-Bexter - A Pessimist is Never Disappointed
Disappointed
Release Date: Out Now
I’ve always felt that if she were
French, Sophie Ellis-Bexter’s polished, aloof vocal style would have made her a
global icon and thinking man (and woman’s) pin-up. As it is, I think her
talents have always been slightly underrated so I’m really glad to see her
revisiting some of her excellent earlier material from her days as frontwoman
of Theaudience. ‘A Pessimist is Never Disappointed’ is one of the least hailed
Britpop anthems but with this new slowed down orchestral arrangement you get to
revel in Ellis-Bexter’s cool delivery of superbly British wit and wisdom like “this
is the highlight of your miserable life” and “I must be humble when I’m praised”.
Maybe this is the time for Ellis-Bexter to finally step in to the spotlight as
the Duchess of the Dancefloor.
