Whatever happened to Samantha Mumba?
Gotta Tell You and I Always Come Back To Your Love were my jams. She just vanished. Loved her back in the day.

I think she tried to make it in the US, and probably still over there. Bit of a diva i believe.

She had a starring role in Boy Eats Girl.
Unfortunately, the film isn't as dirty as it sounds

Got too big for her boots. Silly girl. Think she was on Dancing On Ice a couple of years ago.

Gotta Tell You
I seem to remember her doing a tv show a couple of years ago - it may have been on C4 - which was all about her trying to make a comeback. I don't think she came across well in it though, if I remember rightly. Didn't Louis Walsh manage her? Or did I imagine that? |

I really liked that song. I've still got the single somewhere.

She went off to shoot the Time Machine which was a success at the time, I believe (never seen it). But she never regained the same success musically (or indeed, in films) after that. Body 2 Body was amazing. |

I don't think she released any more music.

Samantha Mumba appeared in Get Your Act Together with Harvey Goldsmith ( I think Saxon did the same series) in 2008 but she acted like a primadonna and annoyed everyone.
I remember her setting up some sort of dance school in Dublin and Belfast a few years ago, don't think that came to much? She actually performed very well in The Time Machine with Guy Pierce, perhaps she is hard to get on with? Although this article would suggest otherwise. |

This is such a shame. She has so much potential as an artist. Body 2 Body, Lately, Always Come Back To Your Love and Gotta Tell You were/are great songs. They have actually aged very well too. I would love if she got a second chance.
Although she did release a song called "I'm Right Here" a very different sound for her and not a good one imo. |

I loved her, she was great. Shame she was short lived but i hear her label went bankrupt while doing her second album
She has retired from music now and just does the odd Irish independent films. When i am in a nostalgia mood, Sam is soon playing on you tube,. |
