'You can feel when you're making something special'
In the summer of 2000, a 17-year-old Dublin girl emerged with a debut single that would redefine the perception of Irish pop music.
Samantha Mumba's Gotta Tell You was a sleek, radio-ready hit that climbed international charts and, almost 25 years ago to the day, introduced a confident and cool new voice to the noughties music scene.
First released in Ireland on 2 June 2000, the single quickly shot up the charts, peaking at number four in the United States, and clearing the top three in Australia, New Zealand and the UK.
