Source-derived summary

21st Century Fox is the fifth studio album by the English model-turned-singer Samantha Fox. The Eurodance-pop album was released by Ichiban Records in 1997. The title is a play on major film studio 20th Century Fox.

At the time of the album's release, the studio's parent company was News Corporation, although in 2013 it became part of a new parent company with the same name as this album (21st Century Fox).

Background

After a six-year hiatus, Samantha Fox returned to the studio to record her fifth album, 21st Century Fox. She had a new look and a new style in music. In fact, this album focused on the dance genre and was a big hit in clubs around Europe. The first song released was "Deeper", which was unsuccessful, though receiving a lot of airplay. She released her first single, "Let Me Be Free", which marked a comeback for her, charting in some European countries. The video shows Fox in the box ring with a male lover.

Editorial analysis

Why this record matters

The phrase “album of British model-turned-singer Samantha Fox” supplies a clear boundary for inquiry. It also exposes the unanswered questions: who defined that boundary, when it became stable and which sources sit outside it.

Evidence profile

The entry’s evidential value lies in the named roles, institutions and publications that can be tested against primary documentation. The source revision retrieved here is dated Feb 17, 2026. The linked authority identifier is Q4631065. 1 of 1 selected statements include explicit references; 0 carry qualifiers and 0 use preferred rank. The first chronological checks are 1997 and 2013.

Critical limits

Later biographies can compress uncertainty and repeat inherited reputations, so apparently settled claims may still require comparison. The source lead contains qualifying language; that uncertainty should survive quotation, summary and reuse. Authority statements aid reconciliation but still require their own references, qualifiers and ranks to be checked.
