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:
“... every experience in life enriches one’s background and should teach valuable lessons.”
—Mary Barnett Gilson (1877–?)
“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)
“I had many problems in my conduct of the office being contrasted with President Kennedy’s conduct in the office, with my manner of dealing with things and his manner, with my accent and his accent, with my background and his background. He was a great public hero, and anything I did that someone didn’t approve of, they would always feel that President Kennedy wouldn’t have done that.”
—Lyndon Baines Johnson (1908–1973)
