The singer in question is popstar Tina Cousins, who shot to fame in 1998.
The star is best known for her single Mysterious Times, which she released with German DJ and fellow 90s star, Sash!.
The song was a massive hit and peaked at No. 2 in the charts.
This dance tune alone helped to secure her star status, and she had two more Top 20 hits with Pray, and Killin' Time.
In 2000, the singer collaborated again with Sash!, and they had another Top 10 hit with Just Around the Hill.
Tina's popularity saw her team up Billie Piper, Cleopatra, B*Witched and Steps on the track Thank ABBA for the Music, which was a medley of hits from the Swedish hitmakers.
Fans we'll be pleased to know, she is still on the road and performing.
In fact, proving she's still got it, Tina posted a video on Instagram where she revealed she was doing a gig in Madrid.
She looked fantastic in her all black outfit and shades, with her trademark long hair tied up in a low pony.
Addressing her Spanish fans, the star revealed she was singing at the Bernabeu Stadium.

Tina ended the short video by singing some of her hit song, Pray.
The popstar previously opened up about finding fame in the 90s with her song, Mysterious Times.
Speaking to Live and Loud, she said: "That was the song that broke it. Killing time was already out and that was the reason why I got to sing and do the check anyway.
"Sash actually heard the song in Sweden and really like the vocal on it and asked and to try and get hold of me.
"It wasn't like I definitely had it. I went over and sung it I was on tenterhooks to see if I actually got it.
"It was difficult because the German/English trying to translate bits and pieces was interesting; they changed a couple of bits.
"When I heard it played back, I was so excited I couldn't believe it and it came in at No. 2 in the UK."
Talking about if she would change anything from the early part of her career she said: "I know everyone says they look back and wouldn't change a thing, you are so in awe of the fact that you have a record deal that some little things you let slide and some people do take advantage its a dog eat dog business.
