Jentina, "French Kisses"

[George Tropicana]

This is the WORST single I've heard all year.

Virgin Records positioned Jentina as the next Kelis and/or British Sarai with her debut single "Bad Ass Strippa" in June. Despite all the hype, she flopped on the chart with a thud, debuting at No. 22.

Then, she was sent back for an image retooling. So here we are, Jentina all cleaned up looking like Scarlett Johansson with the release of her second single "French Kisses," co-written with Cathy Dennis.

The video and song reminds me of Holly Valance's "Kiss Kiss" with half the sex appeal.

Jentina is like "America's Next Top Model"'s Ebony. "Is she soft? Is she hard? I just don't get it," commented Kimora Lee Simmons on Ebony.

I just don't get Jentina.
She has a cool name though.

Will have to check this one out. This song was hot in Italy when I was there last month. I didn't know her first single was such a flop... no wonder I found it for sale for 49p when I was in the UK 2 weeks ago! I like the sample but the video is hilariously bad because she looks lame.

"French Kisses" is quite bad, but could be a guilty pleasure. It does remind me of Holly Valance - mainly the soft backing vocals.

Yeah she's very confusing because her image was as a gangsta girl and now she's all clean and neat. Is she white? She looks so different in this video.

This will flop and she will never be heard of again.

I agree now. I can grow to like this mess of a song in a guilty pleasure way. It will be out September 27 in the UK.

JENTINA – FRENCH KISSES
Released 27th Sept 2004

www.jentina.co.uk

Jentina burst onto the music scene with debut single, “Bad Ass Strippa”, an abject lesson in attitude and low-end funk and one of the most accomplished debuts in years.  New York City’s very own legend Jimmy Douglas on production duties, Jentina’s whispered chorus and an O’Jays ‘For The Love Of Money’ sample thrown in firmly established Jentina as one of the artists to watch.

Jentina proves she's no throwaway act with her impending new release, 'French Kisses'.  An Asian flavour with strong bhangra beats drives the song along and together with Jentina's teasing lyrics results in another kick-ass track with the undeniable Jentina edge. Whether it's on the dancefloor or in your living room, 'French Kisses' will get you shaking your booty in no time!

You can listen to the track and see the video for 'French Kisses' on The Raft now, and get the inside goss from the lady herself on the latest in Jentina's world, only on 'Features' now!

Jentina's also putting the finishing touches to her album, which should be out in early 2005.

Jentina Who?

“I’m loud,” she laughs. “Big. I’m quite a lot for people to handle, quite a lot for people to love. If I knew another me, I’d be scared! I’m sensitive, even shy sometimes, but I’m also an entertainer. I just want to have fun, make everybody else happy and try and bring people up even when I’m down. I’ve got so much energy – I get everyone going. And I’m confident, but deep down inside I will admit that there’s a lot that I’m scared of.”

[Pet Shop Boy]

Jentina is WAY too thin. She's painful to look at. She looks anorexic.

Dunno about this song. It's been getting a lot of video play, but so did 'bad Ass Stripper'. Could go either way.

Enters the UK charts at #20. FLUSH.
