Jentyl (pronounced "jen-tile", as in "gentile") is a new talent in the sanctified dance/R&B scene on the East Coast of America. Her prayer is that "everyone who hears these songs will somehow be ministered to and come closer to the Lord through song and dance." The A-side' is a catchy, funky house groove which would appeal to many teenage ears, though would perhaps be a bit twee for those with more finely honed (or blinkered?) musical tastes. The uplifting lyrical message is clear and simple, but there seem to be too many words to fit the tune, making the vocals sound a bit awkward at times. The vocal sound is strong, yet young, and the tuning isn't always perfect, which is a pity as it reduces the enjoyment of an otherwise quite memorable tune. There are also two mixes of another song on this CD, along with instrumental mixes.
