Billboard Charting Singer Jeannie Ortega Partners with Rapzilla for Distribution of Album. Jeannie Ortega! She will be releasing her album Letting Go with Rapzilla through Syntax Creative. The first single, “I Promise,” featuring Datin, drops on April 26th.
“In a time when so many people are giving up on family, I wrote ‘I Promise’ to remake a vow that I will do the hard work that’s necessary to keep healthy relationships with my spouse and with my children,” Ortega said of the song. “It’s reaffirming my promise to family and to commitment, to work on myself to be better for my loved ones.”
Datin shared that Jeannie sent him this track before he even knew he was going to be a father to a son. It became prophetic for him.
“In the song, I talked about my perspective of me becoming a father,” said Datin. “Right after I sent the song back, I found out my wife is pregnant, and it’s a boy!”
Jeannie’s upcoming album is encompassed of everything she is. It’s hip-hop, pop, Latin, and worship. She goes back to her Brooklyn Puerto Rican roots for this album.
“The album is where I just let it all go,” she said. “It’s raw, honest, and real. I’m sharing the truth. The truth that got me through. The truth of my life and how I overcame something and all the difficulties that came.”
For several years, Jeannie went the pop/CCM route with her music, but she’s always been grounded in hip-hop.
You may recognize her name and voice from 2014’s “Praise & Arrows” with Trip Lee, Canon, and Deraj.
Perhaps, you know her from her Gold-certified Top 25 Billboard single “Crowded” featuring Papoose in 2006 when she was signed to Hollywood Records, a label imprint of Disney. The success of that song on her album No Place Like BKLYN, which charted at No. 1 on the Billboard Heatseekers chart, gained her an opening spot on Rihanna’s first major tour.
Regardless, Jeannie is a multi-threat talent, and has acted in movies and TV, hosted shows on TBN, wrote a book called “What is Happening to Me?” and also spent a decade as an entertainment reporter.
“We’re really excited to make this partnership with Jeannie happen,” said Rapzilla Editor-in-Chief Justin Sarachik. “We used to work together and have remained friends throughout this time. In the past, we collaborated hand-in-hand on building a brand. Now we get to collaborate again in building her brand! I can’t wait to see what we can do together again.”
