Jentina
Bad Ass Strippa

Virgin

WE SAY

This David Dorrell-managed act is a major signing and priority for Virgin. Take a listen to this first taster of Jentina's music and you'll understand why. Early Neneh Cherry is the obvious reference point and this is as sassy, cool and catchy as Neneh's best stuff. Great specialist and press support already, plus Jentina has divided opinions on our messageboard like no-one since The Darkness which suggests to us that she's a major star in waiting.
