Sophie believes that “the increased popularity of streaming music means the concept of a greatest hits has changed, with many artists opting to re-work their hits to give them a fresh spin”. Take That of course showed the way with their hugely successful album “Odyssey“, their eighth UK number one album, which contained ‘reimagined’ versions of their hits.
Sophie has always alluded herself to producing ‘posh pop’ and this album is certainly another example of her own, exclusive brand of music that has been so successful now for nearly twenty years.
