Samantha Mumba is back
Well kind of...she appeared on Irish show "The Hit" tonight where two artists go head-to-head in the charts by picking a song to record from a selection of aspiring songwriters.
Samantha chose a song called "Somebody Like Me" which is surprisingly available on UK iTunes if anyone wants it;

Here is a soundcloud link to the song;

With proper up-to-date production, I actually think this would be quite a strong song. It reminds me of something Leona might do.

She was so over hyped the first time round I would like to see her do something good now.

Just skip to the last quarter of the show.
Sadly, I don't think it'll make waves in the UK, but it'd be cool if she did have a musical comeback!
Oh it wont be aimed at the UK at all. Cant see her promoting it. Its for the Irish market only, off the back of this TV show. However, it could kick start something. I don't see her getting another major label on board and I don't see her actively seeking it. Without that, the only way i can see her having an international relaunch is on something like Eurovision or if this musical she is involved with is a hit and she is made an offer from that.
...I'd take that as a threat rather than a promise etc.
The hit seems like it would be a good format for a Eurovision selection show got to be better than Eurosong in a dodgy studio anyway.
I really liked that and Samantha can really sing too .
The Hit format would be ideal for a eurovision selection process alright...in fact, it seems like it was made for it!
Sam's voice has really matured. It sounds a lot more husky and soulful, as mentioned.

Like her voice though, and her early stuff was classic. Shame she's so arrogant and lazy, that documentary she had years ago where she wanted to restart her career really turned me off her. Hopefully she's grown up a bit.
I think she's ate a whole lot of humble pie since;)
Sammy knows she has to start from rock bottom and she seems to be putting in the ground work
I dont like the song either but its not dreadful by any means. She looks and sounds good. Its a good public showcase for her though that COULD lead onto better material and maybe even a record deal.
Is that documentary any where online?
Cheers.
It might pop up on 4OD at some point maybe?
And Always come back to your love!
Thanks anyway. Will keep an eye out for it
