== Career ==
=== 1998–2000: early career and "Mysterious Times" ===
Cousins' first big break was in the [[music industry]], appearing on German DJ/producer team [[Sash!]]'s single "[[Mysterious Times]]" in 1998. Before "Mysterious Times", Cousins had released "[[Killin' Time (Tina Cousins song)|Killin' Time]]" and "[[Angel (Tina Cousins song)|Angel]]" in March and June 1997, respectively.
Following the success of "Mysterious Times",
=== 2005–2008 ===
In 2005, Cousins released her first single in five years with "[[Wonderful Life (Black song)|Wonderful Life]]", a cover of the [[Black (singer)|Black]] song, which had originally been released in Australia. In 2007, "Wonderful Life" was adopted by [[Hoyts]] as their primary pre-feature [[theme music]]. "Wonderful Life" reached No. 15 in Australia and spent four months in the Top 50, becoming her biggest [[radio station|radio]] [[hit single|hit]].
The follow-up single was "Come to Me". Both singles were taken from her second album ''[[Mastermind (Tina Cousins album)|Mastermind]]'', which reached the UK and Australian Top 50. The third single to be taken from the album, "Pretty Young Thing", was released in two CD formats, one of which was limited to 1,000 pressings. The single reached the Australian Top 30.
Cousins made a guest appearance on ''[[Never Mind the Buzzcocks]]'', a UK television comedy panel show, which was broadcast on 2 November 2006, in the game's Identity Parade.
In late 2006, dance format radio station [[WMPH]] became the first US station to put any of Cousins's singles in regular rotation.{{citation needed|date=January 2009}} In 2007, she co-wrote and performed vocals on two songs on the ''Main Line'' album by Dutch group [[4 Strings]]. The track "Curious" became a Top 30 [[Dance/Mix Show Airplay|Hot Dance Airplay]] hit.
===
On 7 March 2009, Cousins announced on her website that a new track had been recorded along with a film clip for a new single called "Can't Hold Back". This song is with Bellatrax and was released in the U.S. and the UK on Michael Gray's Eye Industries label in late summer 2009. In April 2009, Cousins announced that she had recorded a [[cover version]] of "[[Sex on Fire]]", originally by the [[Kings of Leon]]. The track was produced by Topham & Twigg and was released on iTunes UK on 2 September. She signed a worldwide deal with Sony Music International in September 2010, and "Sex on Fire" was released worldwide in autumn 2010.
The video for "Sex on Fire" was leaked to YouTube in October 2010. The video is most notable for its explicit scenes. The pop music blog, Popjustice, described it as "another exercise in awful and amazing".<ref>{{cite web|url=https://www.popjustice.com/briefing/tina-cousins-sex-on-fire-video-another-exercise-in-awful-and-amazing/ |title=Popjustice.com |publisher=Popjustice.com |date=29 October 2010 |accessdate=6 September 2017}}</ref>
From 2010 Tina also released new music with the singles "Everlong", " Love Comes Back", "Diamonds" and "When Tomorrow Comes".
In 2014 she also recorded and released a new track "Screams" with Kalsi and Applejack. In 2015 she also recorded a new track "Bullet in the Gun"— a remake of Planet Perfecto's late-1990s dance hit—with Probaker and Kalsi.
Cousins divides her time between Australia and the UK, performing regularly.
In November 2016, she toured Australia with the [[Vengaboys]], [[Sonique (musician)|Sonique]], [[Whigfield]] and [[Joanne Accom]].
