Background
After minor success with the band theaudience in the late 1990s, Ellis-Bextor's solo career began when she sang lead vocals on a disco collaboration with Italian DJ Spiller in 2000. The track, "Groovejet (If This Ain't Love)", peaked at #1 on the UK Singles Chart and became the eighth best-selling single for that year. Following the success of "Groovejet", Ellis-Bextor signed a deal with Polydor records, and began working on first solo album the same year.

Famous quotes containing the word background:
“Silence is the universal refuge, the sequel to all dull discourses and all foolish acts, a balm to our every chagrin, as welcome after satiety as after disappointment; that background which the painter may not daub, be he master or bungler, and which, however awkward a figure we may have made in the foreground, remains ever our inviolable asylum, where no indignity can assail, no personality can disturb us.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
“Pilate with his question “What is truth?” is gladly trotted out these days as an advocate of Christ, so as to arouse the suspicion that everything known and knowable is an illusion and to erect the cross upon that gruesome background of the impossibility of knowledge.”
—Friedrich Nietzsche (1844–1900)
“They were more than hostile. In the first place, I was a south Georgian and I was looked upon as a fiscal conservative, and the Atlanta newspapers quite erroneously, because they didn’t know anything about me or my background here in Plains, decided that I was also a racial conservative.”
—Jimmy Carter (James Earl Carter, Jr.)
