Throughout the '90s the U.K. medicine scene was filled to the lip with nerdy cockney types betting messy togs and regular messier hair. Fresh faced Sophie Ellis-Bextor was amongst the commencement Brit-pop stars to break with this trend. She made it onto the stage in 1997 as the adolescent singer behind young wave outfit Theaudience. Smartly robed (often in black) and boast a sexy, posh phonation, she caused quite a excite on London's alternative electric circuit. Theaudience became known the world over as a groundbreaking pop act and even enjoyed success on the crowded U.K. singles chart with such imaginatively coroneted numbers game as "I've Got the Wherewithal."

Though very popular in the clubs as an instrumental, the track started selling like unrestrained afterward Ellis-Bextor strutted her stuff over its deep grooves. It was a number ane stumble on singles charts around the earth. Spiller and Ellis-Bextor both starred in the now illustrious picture show clip to the track, in which the Londoner's eye-popping set of cheekbones vied for supremacy with the Venetian's imposing stature. A yr on, Ellis-Bextor was once again making waves with the pop individual "Submit Me Home." Thanks to that effort, she beat the likes of Five to the number ane spot on the U.K. singles chart. In their on-going search for disceptation, the British press regular touted her as the principal rival to staggeringly pop Victoria Beckham, previously known as Posh Spice. That same year, Ellis-Bextor served up another chart-topper in the ultra-cool disco music strain "Dispatch on the Dancefloor."
