Familia, which was released last week charting at #12, is Sophie Ellis-Bextor’s sixth studio album and follows her #4 charting and silver certified album Wanderlust, which marked a critically acclaimed change in musical direction for Sophie. Following suit with her last record,Familia was also co-written, produced and arranged by acclaimed singer-songwriter and good friend Ed Harcourt and was recorded in London with a close-knit group of musician friends.

Discussing her new album as “the bolshier, more extrovert little sister to Wanderlust”,Familia was introduced by the Radio 2 A-List track "Come With Us," which is an instant disco-pop anthem. Second single "Crystallise" offers a different glimpse into Familia and is a romantic track that opens with a soft tempo before building into an impactful string-laden, emotive chorus. Sophie says: “Everyone has the potential to fall in love and "Crystallise" is about how easy it is to realize it if you let yourself. The ability to love has been there since the day you were born.”
