At the conclusion of the buzzy, new movie, "Saltburn" from Emerald Fennell (and no, I will not spoil it for anyone who has not seen this film yet), a song plays that I hadn't heard in years. "Murder on the Dance Floor", co-written and performed by Sophie Ellis-Bextor is a lively dose of Euro-disco that is used perfectly in just one of many strange, uninhibited moments in this divisive dark comedy.
While this song was popular back in 2001, reaching the top-ten on the singles chart in Ellis-Bextor's home country of Britain and many other countries across the globe, "Murder" didn't get much attention here in the US. Perhaps "Saltburn" will inspire some adventureous folks on TikTok to help change that.
The now forty-four year old singer and mother of five is still making music, just releasing her seventh studio album, "Hana" last summer. The music video for "Murder on the Dance Floor" is set at a dance competition with Ellis-Bextor willing to do anything to win the award of golden pumps.
