Ellis-Bextor Penned Song For ‘Stalker’!
Sophie Ellis-Bextor has turned a wierd situation into a creative one, by writing a song for the mystery stalker who bombards her with text messages.
The Bittersweet singer regularly receives texts from the unknown person and decided to pay tribute to him with a track on her upcoming album, Straight To The Heart. And she admits she doesn’t feel threatened by the messages – because she’s not convinced the sender knows he’s contacting a singer.
Speaking on the U.K.’s 5 O’Clock Show, she says:
“The song’s about my text stalker. It’s quite harmless, I think. It’s normally fairly innocuous things and jokes and stuff like that. I got one on my way to work one day and so when I arrived we decided to write a song about it.
“It’s called Dial My Number and it’s actually the song I’ve been openin g my set with at the moment. I never respond so they don’t know that I’m receiving it. People say, ‘But surely now you’ve written a song, they will know!’ But they could be texting someone else. It hasn’t been confirmed that it’s me they’re texting. They don’t seem to know where I live.”
