“Hollywood: Goes down smooth, this poison in your blood”
Sexy does not mean successful. Jenna Lotti‘s new single “Hollywood’ glamorizes the unglamorous: overnight success, LA parties, pressure and passion. A genuine and inspired pop artist, Jenna’s songs echo inside of you for days after hearing them. Glitzy production matches simple, hooky melodies, and tender vocals deliver universal lyrics.
“LA lady, blue Mercedes, she’s doing it right…chasing the neon lights”
An LA transplant, Jenna idealized the Hollywood lifestyle from afar. Raised in Boston, Jenna says that from a young age, she used the channel of music to express her emotions. Initially, Jenna began writing poetry as a coping mechanism for intense anxiety and depression when she was a young girl (check out her last single: Nervous). As she grew up, her passion for music doubled in size and she eventually turned her poems into lyrics. Shy with her compositions, her friends finally convinced her to do an open mic, which led her to a captive, encouraging audience. The singer songwriter was convinced. She decided to pursue music and thankfully for us, it worked out pretty well: incessantly writing tunes, Jenna’s music has led her to tours of both US coasts and to a nomination for ‘Pop Act of the Year’ by the New England Music Awards. She’s since opened up for national acts like Hunter Hayes and Dan + Shay, spreading her gift even further. With an individual mix of vulnerability and soul, her radio-ready sound should be hitting arenas soon enough.
“She’s got a posse – paparazzi – she’s doing it right”
