Following the release of ‘Love Is A Camera’, Sophie Ellis-Bextor will release live favourite ‘The Deer & The Wolf’, the fourth single from her silver certified album ‘Wanderlust’, on 25^th August.

Singles from the album so far have included the emotive ‘Young Blood’ and upbeat ‘Runaway Daydreamer’, along with ‘Love Is A Camera’, all of which have received A-List support from Radio 2.

‘Wanderlust’, which is Sophie Ellis-Bextor’s fifth studio album charted at number 4 and gave Sophie her first top 10 record since 2007’s ‘Trip The Light Fantastic’. The record has gone on to spend the last 6 months in the UK Chart. Co-written, produced and arranged by acclaimed singer-songwriter and good friend Ed Harcourt, ‘Wanderlust’ was recorded in just two weeks in a London studio with other tight-knit musician friends and was released on Sophie Ellis-Bextor’s own label EBGB’s. It features 11 powerfully understated songs showcasing a newfound maturity both lyrically and musically.
