Either way, I am happy that she's getting the recognition she deserved in the American market and I am sure that she was just as happy and surprised as her fans to have tiktok blow this up.

It has become popular in recent times due to the use of the song in the movie "Saltburn" which was released last year in theaters. It is a great song and still sounds pretty fresh for 2024.

    I loved this song back when it first came out and I love it even more now!! This song was proof that Disco never died!! She looks like she hasn't aged in 22 years!!

    Bringing back Murder On The Dancefloor is such a gift 😄😄😄😄

    Sophie was so underrated for many years, it is time for her to ger the global recognition, and by global I mean the US, because unfortunately, conquer the US industry is very important and helpful for the artists career. I know her almost from her origins and she's been one of my favorite artists ever. Her catalogue is amazing.

    I'm still obsessed with Sophie's first Album "Read My Lips"! That was my first album when I was 12, which I bought myself 😍
