CD SINGLE REVIEW: Orentia - "Confused" By Gian Fiero - 05/16/2008 - 04:03 PM EDT http://www.musesmuse.com/mrev-orentia-confused.htm... http://www.musesmuse.com/mrev-orentia-confused.html
One of the things I look for in a song as a commercial music critic is the song's ability to hold up against the competition of similar songs which top the charts and are played on the radio. Orentia, a singer/songwriter from Brooklyn, New York, achieves that with "Confused," the best and most commercial song from her debut project, Enter The Zone. Benefiting from production that superbly complements her eloquent songwriting style, Orentia sings a story of deception, betrayal, and confusion. It's told from the perspective of a friend-to-another friend which allows for objectivity. It works and she succeeds without being preachy or judgmental while managing to bring up points to ponder in deciding whether to stay with or leave an unfaithful lover. Whether or not the friend forgives and forgets, or calls it quits, we don't know. But what we do know (and can relate to) is why she's confused because we’ve all been there. Vocally, Orentia skillfully delivers a performance that captures the frailty, love, angst, and inner turmoil that she is singing about - and she does it with credibility while showcasing her harmonizing and arranging skills in the process. This is a radio-friendly track that both Urban and AC audiences will love more and more with every listen.

Al Shipley, Baltimore City Paper
...Throughout the night, it was the singers rather... ...Throughout the night, it was the singers rather than the rappers who stood out the most. A performer named Orentia made for the biggest spectacle, with a peppy R&B number for which she was accompanied by half a dozen backup dancers, performing intricate choreography both on and in front of the stage, and a guitarist... Orentia and her entourage were clearly the most professional act of the night. The polished pop star-in-waiting Orentia was awarded best song.

Orentia , 'Enter My Zone' Erin Bukofsky of Bryan Farrish Radio Promotion
This completely original album ties together a fresh amalgamation of Soft Rock, Pop and R&B influences. Fun and fresh, this album makes the listener want to groove their way onto the dance floor. Orentia's milky voice and creative beats are reminiscent of the works of Janet Jackson and Madonna, and just as timeless.

Tr.3 All About Me- An awesome introduction leading into a multi-layered track. This song includes impressive rhythms and beats with a captivating hook and a flawless vocal tonality.

Tr.4 Confused- A more fluent and graceful track but just as captivating as the previous. An impressive vocal presence and beautiful vocal harmonies.

Tr.5 Crazy Day-­ A track with lyrics that everyone can relate to, with beats and rhythms that exemplify the feeling of a crazy day yet makes the listener's a little bit better.
