Read My Lips (Sophie Ellis-Bextor album)

Read My Lips is the debut studio album by English singer Sophie Ellis-Bextor. It was released on 27 August 2001 by Polydor Records. After the disbandment of the Britpop group Theaudience, in which Ellis-Bextor served as vocalist, she was signed to Polydor. Prior to the LP's completion, the singer collaborated with several musicians, including band Blur's bassist Alex James, Moby and New Radicals frontman Gregg Alexander. The record was described as a collection of 1980s electronica and 1970s disco music.

Critical response to Read My Lips was polarised, with music critics denouncing its content that was, according to one magazine, Q, of lesser quality than "Groovejet (If This Ain't Love)"—the singer's collaboration with Italian DJ Spiller and according to others, inherently malign simply on account of being chart pop. The album reached number two on the UK Albums Chart, and has since been certified double platinum by the British Phonographic Industry (BPI). It spawned four singles: "Take Me Home", "Murder on the Dancefloor", double A-side single "Get Over You"/"Move This Mountain" and "Music Gets the Best of Me".

Background

 
American musician Moby (pictured) sought Ellis-Bextor, so they could work together, due to her "amazing" voice[1]

Following the disbandment of Britpop group Theaudience, Ellis-Bextor provided vocals for the song "Groovejet (If This Ain't Love)" by Italian DJ Spiller.[2] The song was a commercial success,[3] and Ellis-Bextor signed to Polydor. She was contacted by director Baz Luhrmann, who offered her a role in the 2001 film Moulin Rouge!, but the singer refused in order to focus on her career as a recording artist.[4] The success of "Groovejet" also prompted American musician Moby to notice Ellis-Bextor, and revealed interest in working with her due to her "amazing" voice, as he described it.[1] He instructed his record company to "track" Ellis-Bextor "down" so they could start working as soon as Moby finished his tour.[1] The two ultimately wrote five songs in New York City, which did not make the final cut of Read My Lips.[4][5] Furthermore, she also recorded with Blur bassist Alex James, as well as former frontman of the New Radicals, Gregg Alexander, while Damian LeGassick was recruited for his programming and keyboard work.[5]

The album's title was chosen due to the strong lipstick Ellis-Bextor used for the album artwork, the "Take Me Home" music video and “Read My Lips” is sung in the opening verse of the album track “The Universe Is You”. [6] The album photography was shot by Mert Alas.[7]

Composition

An "eclectic" album, Read My Lips, is a collection of 1980s electronica and 1970s disco.[4] The album opener and first single is a cover version of Cher's 1979 song "Take Me Home", described as a "disco groove".[8] Betty Clarke from The Guardian observed that her voice in the song is reminiscent of Audrey Hepburn's Eliza Doolittle (in the movie My Fair Lady).[9] "Move This Mountain", co-written by Alex James, is a "vibrant" ballad with a trip hop-influenced sound.[8] Following track and second single, "Murder on the Dancefloor", is a dance-pop and disco record, that utilises bass guitar and piano in its instrumental.[9][10][11] "Sparkle" has "speeding beats and equally speeding keyboards",[9] while "Final Move" contains "tinny beats" and "electro swirls".[9] The latter was deemed a "subdued version" of "Murder on the Dancefloor" with "similar kaleidoscope synth".[12] "I Believe" was described as "funky" and "live-sounding",[9] while "Leave the Others Alone" involves "cold beats" and "big, full-throttle keyboards".[9] "By Chance" was particularly noted for showcasing Ellis-Bextor's accent.[12] Re-release new song "Get Over You" is a "polite" Euro disco take on "I Will Survive".[13]

Singles and promotion

Promotion for Read My Lips launched with the release of "Take Me Home", a cover of the song by singer Cher, which was released on 13 August 2001.[14] Although its production and Ellis-Bextor's vocal performance in the song were heavily criticised,[15] the single reached number two on the UK Singles Chart.[16] After the release of the album, "Murder on the Dancefloor" was serviced as its second single on 3 December 2001.[17] It peaked in the top 10 of the charts in Australia, Austria, Belgium, Canada, Denmark, France, Hungary, Ireland, Italy, Netherlands, New Zealand, Norway, Sweden, Switzerland and the UK.[18][19] A double A-side single including new re-release song "Get Over You" and original album track "Move This Mountain" was released on 10 June 2002, in a set of two CD singles.[20][21]

Ellis-Bextor, who had previously felt uncomfortable with the idea of touring, confirmed a UK-only tour in January 2002, which took place from April to May.[22] Later, in July 2002, other dates of the tour were revealed for 2003.[23]

Toby Manning from Q cited "Take Me Home" and "Move This Mountain" as the album's highlights, but, overall, he thought that the record failed to live up to the standard set by the previous collaboration with Spiller.[26] He also found that the album's music and the distinctive pronunciation of Ellis-Bextor's vocal delivery did not work to complimentary effect.[26] Betty Clarke from The Guardian described the album as a "sophisticated package" but said "there's little to love and even less fun to be had".[9] Kelvin Hayes from AllMusic dubbed it "a disappointing debut from Ellis-Bextor, fusing Human League synth with beats and cinematic strings", but described "Murder on the Dancefloor" as the "shimmering highlight" from the album.[12] A critic from entertainment.ie said "the material on her debut solo album only rarely does justice to her distinctive upper-crust voice", and said that "most of the songs sound laboured and plod where they should swing".[24]

In contrast to the previous reviews, Andrew Arora from Blue Coupe had a more positive response to the record. Arora said "it lands somewhere between Pet Shop Boys' synth-pop faculty and Blondie's Parallel Lines album", although he claimed that fans of "Groovejet (If This Ain't Love)" "should not expect much from this album, but it does deliver a dynamic electro disco sound that is sometimes analogous to her breakthrough-hit single".[8]

Commercial performance

Read My Lips debuted at number four on the UK Albums Chart with first-week sales of 23,023 copies. Although the original ten track edition dropped down and out of the charts over the next few weeks, a twelve track UK edition, released December 2001, peaked at number three in January 2002 following the singles chart success of Murder on the Dancefloor. Finally a fifteen-track edition with a considerably revised running order was released in summer 2002 and peaked at number two - 41 weeks after the original edition first charted.[28] On 21 June 2002, it was certified double platinum by the British Phonographic Industry (BPI).[29] The album had sold 833,968 copies as of January 2014.[28]

2002Critical response to Read My Lips was polarised with music critics denouncing its content that was according to one magazine Q of lesser quality than Groovejet If This Ain t Love the singer s collaboration with Italian DJ Spiller and according to others inherently malign simply on account of being chart pop The album reached number two on the UK Albums Chart and has since been certified double platinum by the British Phonographic Industry BPI It spawned four singles Take Me Home Murder on the Dancefloor double A side single Get Over You Move This Mountain and Music Gets the Best of

amazing voice 1 Following the disbandment of Britpop group Theaudience Ellis Bextor provided vocals for the song Groovejet If This Ain t Love by Italian DJ Spiller 2 The song was a commercial success 3 and Ellis Bextor signed to Polydor She was contacted by director Baz Luhrmann who offered her a role in the 2001 film Moulin Rouge but the singer refused in order to focus on her career as a recording artist 4 The success of Groovejet also prompted American musician Moby to notice Ellis Bextor and revealed interest in working with her due to her amazing voice as he described it 1 He instructed his record company to track Ellis Bextor down so they could start working as soon as Moby finished his tour 1 The two ultimately wrote five songs in New York City which did not make the final cut of Read My Lips 4 5 Furthermore she also recorded with Blur bassist Alex James as well as former frontman of the New Radicals Gregg Alexander while Damian LeGassick was recruited for his programming and keyboard work 5 The album s title was chosen due to the strong lipstick Ellis Bextor used for the album artwork the Take Me Home music video and Read My Lips is sung in the opening verse of the album track The Universe Is You 6 The album photography was shot by Mert Alas 7 Composition EditAn eclectic album Read My Lips is a collection of 1980s electronica and 1970s disco 4 The album opener and first single is a cover version of Cher s 1979 song Take Me Home described as a disco groove 8 Betty Clarke from The Guardian observed that her voice in the song is reminiscent of Audrey Hepburn s Eliza Doolittle in the movie My Fair Lady 9 Move This Mountain co written by Alex James is a vibrant ballad with a trip hop influenced sound 8 Following track and second single Murder on the Dancefloor is a dance pop and disco record that utilises bass guitar and piano in its instrumental 9 10 11 Sparkle has speeding beats and equally speeding keyboards 9 while Final Move contains tinny beats and electro swirls 9 The latter was deemed a subdued version of Murder on the Dancefloor with similar kaleidoscope synth 12 I Believe was described as funky and live sounding 9 while Leave the Others Alone involves cold beats and big full throttle keyboards 9 By Chance was particularly noted for showcasing Ellis Bextor s accent 12 Re release new song Get Over You is a polite Euro disco take on I Will Survive 13 Singles and promotion EditMain article Read My Lips Tour Promotion for Read My Lips launched with the release of Take Me Home a cover of the song by singer Cher which was released on 13 August 2001 14 Although its production and Ellis Bextor s vocal performance in the song were heavily criticised 15 the single reached number two on the UK Singles Chart 16 After the release of the album Murder on the Dancefloor was serviced as its second single on 3 December 2001 17 It peaked in the top 10 of the charts in Australia Austria Belgium Canada Denmark France Hungary Ireland Italy Netherlands New Zealand Norway Sweden Switzerland and the UK 18 19 A double A side single including new re release song Get Over You and original album track Move This Mountain was released on 10 June 2002 in a set of two CD singles 20 21 Ellis Bextor who had previously felt uncomfortable with the idea of touring confirmed a UK only tour in January 2002 which took place from April to May 22 Later in July 2002 other dates of the tour were revealed for 2003 23 Critical reception EditProfessional ratingsReview scoresSourceRatingAllMusic 12 Blue CoupePositive 8 Entertainment ie 24 The GuardianNegative 9 The IndependentMixed 25 Q 26 Yahoo Music 27 Toby Manning from Q cited Take Me Home and Move This Mountain as the album s highlights but overall he thought that the record failed to live up to the standard set by the previous collaboration with Spiller 26 He also found that the album s music and the distinctive pronunciation of Ellis Bextor s vocal delivery did not work to complimentary effect 26 Betty Clarke from The Guardian described the album as a sophisticated package but said there s little to love and even less fun to be had 9 Kelvin Hayes from AllMusic dubbed it a disappointing debut from Ellis Bextor fusing Human League synth with beats and cinematic strings but described Murder on the Dancefloor as the shimmering highlight from the album 12 A critic from entertainment ie said the material on her debut solo album only rarely does justice to her distinctive upper crust voice and said that most of the songs sound laboured and plod where they should swing 24 In contrast to the previous reviews Andrew Arora from Blue Coupe had a more positive response to the record Arora said it lands somewhere between Pet Shop Boys synth pop faculty and Blondie s Parallel Lines album although he claimed that fans of Groovejet If This Ain t Love should not expect much from this album but it does deliver a dynamic electro disco sound that is sometimes analogous to her breakthrough hit single 8 Commercial performance EditRead My Lips debuted at number four on the UK Albums Chart with first week sales of 23 023 copies Although the original ten track edition dropped down and out of the charts over the next few weeks a twelve track UK edition released December 2001 peaked at number three in January 2002 following the singles chart success of Murder on the Dancefloor Finally a fifteen track edition with a considerably revised running order was released in summer 2002 and peaked at number two 41 weeks after the original edition first charted 28 On 21 June 2002 it was certified double platinum by the British Phonographic Industry BPI 29 The album had sold 833 968 copies as of January 2014 28 Track listing EditOriginal releaseNo TitleWriter s
