We sat down with Sophie Ellis-Bextor and she was every bit the icon you’d hope for—warm, funny, and completely unfiltered. She opened up about balancing mum life with pop stardom, why she proudly called her album Perimenopop, and even joked about moving to Hungary for tax-free living with her five kids. Plus, we chatted Murder on the Dancefloor, Royal Otis, and the track she thinks you should play first.
