About

Make a Scene is the fourth studio album from English singer-songwriter Sophie Ellis-Bextor, released in Russia on April 18, 2011 by Universal Records and the United Kingdom on June 13, 2011 by Ellis-Bextor's own record label, EBGB's. It is her first studio album since 2007's Trip the Light Fantastic. Make a Scene originated from recording sessions for a planned Greatest Hits compilation, which was proposed for release in Autumn 2008. However, the success of recording sessions led Ellis-Bextor and her record label at the time, Fascination Records, to change their plans and record a full studio album instead. The album's lead single, "Heartbreak (Make Me a Dancer)", a collaboration with the Freemasons, was released in June 2009, before a second single, "Can't Fight This Feeling", a collaboration with Junior Caldera, was released in February 2010. The album's third single, "Bittersweet", was released in May 2010, and was the first single from the album to feature only Ellis-Bextor. The album's fourth single, "Not Giving Up on Love", a collaboration with Armin van Buuren, was released in August 2010.

Following the release of these four singles, Ellis-Bextor parted ways with Fascination, leaving the future of the album hanging in the balance. However, Ellis Bextor soon announced plans to release the album on her own label, EBGBs, which she had set-up in 2009 with her father, Robin Bextor. The album's title, Make a Scene, was announced in January 2011, despite many rumours the album would be named Cut Straight to the Heart, after the final track on the album. On April 11, 2011, "Off & On" was released as the album's fifth single overall, exclusively in Russia, before the album was released a week later on April 18. On June 5, "Starlight" was released as the album's sixth single overall, exclusively in the United Kingdom, before the album was released a week later on June 12. The album achieved moderate success in Great Britain and Russia, peaking at #33 and #12 respectively. In 2012 Revolution was released as the album's seventh and final single overall but, unlike the majority of the singles, was an international release .
