WHATEVER HAPPENED TO: jentina

In what was possibly one of our favourite releases of 2004, Jentina's Bad Ass Strippa got us all excited at the prospect of a new pop act on the market that didn't entirely suck. With an LV dirt-bag-fabulous styling that would have Rachel Stevens squirm in her pleather boots, this london scally doll worked with the industry's best (Stephane Sednaoui on videos, Cathy Denis on lyrics) and saw more money being thrown at her in the first two months of her 'career' than Westlife's entire promotional budget. Two disapointing chart entries later (the second being AMAZING POP SONG French Kisses), and Jentina was officially off the radar, probably back in the same family trailer she escaped to become a table dancer-slash-rapper at age 16 (oh how we do love a well written biog!).

Somewhere in the world, her album Do Not Disturb is sitting quietly, raking up dust and yellowed memories of what pop ingenuity could have been. We'll give you a lung in exchange for a copy if you can find one.
