In 1995, he abandoned Eurodance and adopted the name Mr. Jack (which would later morph into Junior Jack), dabbling in house music. He entered the UK Top 40 with the singles "My Feeling", "Thrill Me (Such A Thrill)", "E Samba", "Dare Me (Stupidisco)" and "Da Hype", the latter featuring vocals by Robert Smith from The Cure and uses samples from "I'm So Hot For You" by Bobby Orlando. His album Trust It was released to critical acclaim[citation needed]. "My Feeling" and "Stupidisco" were built around vocal samples from, respectively, "Saturday Love" by Alexander O'Neal and Cherrelle, and "Dare Me" by The Pointer Sisters. His latest single was a remake of "Dare Me (Stupidisco)", with vocals from Shena, which reached #20 in the UK Singles Chart on 25 February 2007
Lucente has also worked with disco artist Oliver Cheatham under the name Room 5, achieving the #1 in the UK's Top 40 charts and the European Dance Charts with the single "Make Luv", a remake of Cheatham's "(Get Down) Saturday Night". Junior's own "E-Samba" became the second biggest club hit in year 2003. As a remixer, he has reworked tracks for artists such as Whitney Houston, Moby, Bob Sinclar and Utada.
So far, he has only released two records, Trust It, one under the name Junior Jack, and Music And You, as Room 5, both from label PIAS Recordings.
In 2007 "Stupidisco" was re-released as "Dare Me (Stupidisco)" complete with a newer vocal that removed the initial sample from the Pointer Sisters

so good to pretend,
I´m in love with the end,
I just want to be your´s...
I´m flowing away,
so good to just play,
I´m in love with today,
only want to be your´s..
I just want to be your´s,
only want to be your´s....
You and me,
all there ever is,
You and me,
is anyone,
You and me,
lost in moderness,
You and me,
is everyone
is everyone...

I´m voting in you,
so good to be true,
I´m in love with you,
I just want to be your´s...
only want to be your´s....
I´m flying again,
so good to pretend,
I´m in love with the end,
I just want to be your´s...

The lyrics to Junior Jack's song Da Hype convey themes of infatuation, escape, and modernity. The singer is in a state of euphoria or delusion, "flying again" and "flowing away," imagining a love that is both transcendent and elusive. The repetition of the phrase "I just want to be yours" speaks to a desire for possession or surrender, while also suggesting a loss of individual identity in the throes of passion.
The chorus, with its refrain of "You and me," emphasizes a sense of intimacy and exclusivity, even as it acknowledges the universality of such feelings. The use of the word "moderness" implies a kind of dislocation or fragmentation, as if the singer and their love are caught up in a confusing, fast-paced world. The final repetition of "I just want to be yours" is both a declaration of devotion and a plea for recognition, as if the singer fears they will disappear if their love is not reciprocated.

This song just came into my mind all of a sudden. I remember when I first heard it on the radio and thought It was just another random dance song- until I heard Robert's voice. He's my personal Messias. 🖤
