Theaudience was popular all over the UK. Their singles, such as “I’ve Got The Wherewithal” sold an impressive number of copies in the UK. However, they soon disbanded and Sophie had to pursue a solo career.
At first, Sophie’s solo career wasn’t very successful. It took time for the public to appreciate the new signer. In 2000, together with an Italian DJ and producer Spiller, Ellis-Bextor finally regained some of the old popularity.
