Tina goes hip-hop

Former S Club star Tina Barrett is to do a Victoria Beckham and try her hand at hip-hop. The singer has teamed up with big beat producer DJ Touche to launch her solo career.

DJ Touche, real name Theo Keating, is best known as one half of The Wiseguys – the duo behind the Budweiser TV advert theme tune, Ooh La La.

Tina wants to get away from her squeaky clean pop image. A pal tells The Sun: “She loves hip-hop and big beat and feels she can turn her vocals to anything. Theo is very excited and keen to surprise a lot of people with Tina’s new image.”

But going hip-hop can be risky. Victoria teamed up with rap mogul Damon Dash to record an album, but Telstar has refused to release it.
