"Taste" is a song by English singer and songwriter Sophie Ellis-Bextor. [1] It was released on 9 May 2025, through Decca Records, as the fourth single from her upcoming eighth studio album, Perimenopop (2025). [2] [3]
"Taste" was written by Sophie Ellis-Bextor, MNEK, and Jon Shave, with the latter serving as the producer of the song. [4] [5] It was released alongside the album announcement on May 9. [2] [6] [7]
With ‘Taste’, I collaborated with MNEK and Jon Shave to write a playful, flirtatious pop song about chemistry. What can really make you want to be around someone is when their taste, what they like in life, is something you become addicted to. You want to experience all delights with them and share it with them as everything they introduce you to feels just right. All your senses feel alive and awake – like the full flavour of life is realised. Chef’s kiss.
A lyric video was released alongside the song on May 9, while an official visualizer directed by Jamie Michael Korn premiered on May 23. [9] [10] Ellis‑Bextor partnered with coffee liqueur Tia Maria for an all‑year campaign titled "Shake Up The Taste", which highlights the song and promotes the brand’s connection to espresso martinis. [11] She created her own twist on the Espresso Martini, the "Sophie’s Tia Banana‑Tini" recipe, as the focus of the campaign. [12] The Tia Maria and Sophie Ellis‑Bextor partnership launched on June 3 across Tia Maria’s digital and social platforms. [13]
