Sophie Ellis-Bextor - Crying At The Discotheque (Official Video)

The song Crying At The Discotheque would usually want a video recorded in - you guessed it - a disco or club, but I have been thinking so much recently about all my musician and crew friends who can't work at the moment, I thought a video where I film in as many empty London venues as possible would highlight all that's on hold at the moment.

Heartfelt thanks to the venues that welcomed us in to film: St Moritz, Bush Hall, Omeara, Clapham Grand, Heaven, Apollo Theatre, The O2 Arena.

23 years onwards and she’s still rocking the dancefloor, long live Sophie Ellis-Bextor 💃🪩💖

[MsHibees]

Her voice is like liquid gold and she’s so beautiful.

[javieralbertgerardodelgado]

You know. This video somehow is so nostalgic because of its context. Seeing those places empty due to the pandemic is so dramatic, and there was this promise that we were going to meet there later. 😢

[HungarianDerrickRose]

She just doesn't friggin age. Unbelievable.

[Quetzalcoatl]

Kylie, Sophie and Dido are back with new music, 2020 has a bright side.

[gamblerfls]

This was a beautiful tribute to Alcazar, keeping the rhythm, the beat and everything. Sophie always showing great respect for disco music!

[stalker]

the video clearly conveys the atmosphere of 2020

[autohaus]

Her voice takes you straight to the earlies 2000's 🥺

[Spritz]

the idea behind the clip is really brilliant. This is the modest testimony of an epoque.

[bhalejos]

Please, Sophie... Bring the Kitchen Disco Tour to Australia!!! We've supported you through the whole Kitchen Disco period!

[raziel]

She came straight from the 90s and smashed with this cover.

[arwahsapi]

This is so criminally underrated! What sad times we live in when people show no more love for disco!

[haranper]

Omg. I love it. She is back to her dance roots. That's right. Put on your glitter jumpsuit and dance under the shiny disco balls like there's no other. Not even the confinement will stop us from dancing.

[MarcusAureliusSeneca]

Her vocals sound so timeless and epic in this one

[CruiseMusic]

At the moment, should be called "Crying For The Discotheque"

[jollyboatman]

Damn I’m old.

I remember Alcazar doing this & Sheila B Devotion’s Spacer base line!!

[Absolvo]

Софочка! Прекрасная! Sophie, you are amazing! Lots of love from Russia!!!

[jeansilva]

She deserves a great deal of respect for bringing some kind of happiness at a time when everybody was feeling down!!

[DrJaimePatino]

This video is deeper than it seems. Sophie, the undisputed queen of dance, sings and dances with the same style, joy and glamor as always, but this time there is no audience; she sings to empty chairs, to auditoriums without people. These are times of uncertainty. Right now Europe is swelling the list of infected again. There is no certainty of the future. I interpret this video as a cry of hope and optimism from the dance queen to the world: even if there may be no one in the auditorium, even if there are no shouts in the stadium, even if there are no people in the disco, I will sing and follow him doing even the last person standing on the planet.

[astrolite.]

I love that concept of a concert for no audience. Such a mark of 2020.
