NEW INTERVIEW FOR CELEBRITY ESSENTIAL

Celebrity Essential joined Tina Barrett for an exclusive interview on her new single 'Fire' and her upcoming album.

TINA BARRETT ON TOUR

Over 60 Million Records sold with the most successful Pop Group S Club 7, after 8 years Tina Barrett is back. With a new record deal, and awesome new single "Fire" Tina is making huge waves in the industry once again with a new album planned for release in 2012. Her new sound has been compared with Amy Winehouse and Adelle but Tina's material will shock people looking for an average pop song because it isn't. Her new songs are edgy, raw, bluesy and incredibly sexy. Her new sound is so so good and predictions are already coming in for her new single to hit number 1 and the album to go top ten.


At Tina's request she wants to perform intimately to her loyal fans from S Club 7 and as a Solo Artist before we kick of the World Tour next year. This is your chance to see a rising star get her crown back and shake up the music industry once again with a full live band and awesome support from another rising star Aimée you will be glad you were there to witness this event.

TINA'S COMING STRONG

So speaks Tina Barrett out of S Club. She may well have been out of the fame bubble for seven years now, but she hasn’t been idle in that time. No, not a bit of it.
Although Tina started off a dancer (more of which in a second…), her time in S Club gave her the taste for furthering a career in music. Obviously hanging out with Cathy Dennis rubbed off on her as Tina has been using her time away from the spotlight to travel around the world and hone her songwriting skills. She went to Canada to write with the Rezza Brothers, to Atlanta to work with Bonecrusher, and she’s been also been dealing with Beenie Man (“We talked on the phone for an hour. It was deep.”)
Now she’s finishing up a solo album with Ryan Laubscher. It’s coming out in February, it’s going to be soul, R&B and bluegrass influenced and she’s just about to start hitting the road and doing some more live shows.

She has now released a new Official Page on Facebook and has announced some big things, like a Promotional Tour which is coming in the next weeks. Tickets for a first gig in Leicester on November 30th are already on sale here. Also a new sexy photoshoot has been released. Tina look incredible amazing. Go on Tigers! and Promote Tina around the Net!

TINA BARRETT'S RETURN TO POP

It’s been eight years since the TV pop phenomenon S Club 7 said goodbye. Since then, both Rachel and Jo had varying degrees of success with their solo careers, Jon became a West End star, Hannah's on the telly and Bradley & Paul... well, they’re probably fine. But whatever happened to the English/Guyanese brunette vision that was Tina Barrett? Well, she’s back. And she came to the Holy Moly office to tell her story...

HM: So, Tina. Where the hell have you been?
Tina: “Well, S Club was such a rollercoaster ride, an amazing five years of being thrust into the public eye. So when we split up I just wanted to have a bit of a break and do all the things I never got to do. Just being normal, really. I enjoyed that.

“But I’ve been doing a lot of songwriting and working with producers. I’ve been songwriting since I was eight years old. But after watching people like Cathy Denis, when I was in S Club, I picked up some things...
“I started working on the material that’s ready to release, three years ago. My stuff is completely different from S Club. People might be a little bit shocked when they hear it. I’ve been working with William Orbit and he’s a genius. It was a random thing; he knows a friend of mine and we got chatting at a party. And from there we made some tunes. He barely knew who S Club was.

“And I’m working with uber-cool artist Stuart Semple. He’s art directing all my videos and photoshoots. I like taking risks. I’m not saying I’m gonna copy Lady Gaga, because she’s in a league of her own. But I’ve got a little artistic edge to me that people haven’t seen.”

TINA TALKS TO CRAVEN GOSSIP

We all remember, know and love S Club 7! They made fantastic pop songs, great TV shows and made us all want to be in a band with 6 of our mates! Now, 8 years after they split up, Tina is launching a solo career and we were invited to her showcase at London's Met Bar.

Whilst the other members have all been doing their own things since the split, Tina has been the quietest out of the band, almost removing herself from the spotlight completely. Hannah is now more commonly known for her role in Primeval, Jon has done several West End shows, Rachel had a solo career, and Jo, Paul and Bradley tour as S Club Party, singing S Club's old hits. But Tina, well, things have been quiet on that front.

We didn't quite know what to expect from Tina's solo stuff. In S Club she was known as the dancer - who can forget that Tina's doing her dance - but Tina took to the stage and gave us a showcase of five songs she has written. And they were quite good. She sang Fire, Make Me Dance, I'll Be Your Woman, Hot Stuff and Soul Is Rising. Her sound was quite different to S Club, and her vocals reminded us of Duffy. If she was nervous, she hid it well, maybe because she had the support of her former bandmates, but Tina definitely showed that there was more to her then meets the eye.
After the performance, we sat down with Tina for a chat about her solo stuff - including the now famous Moon Child, S Club and why it's taken her 8 years to release...
