Shontelle Unveils ‘No Gravity’ Album Cover

Published: Friday 23rd Jul 2010 by Sam

Check out the official album cover for Shontelle‘s sophomore effort ‘No Gravity’ (due August 24th). The LP is preceded by the atrocious ‘Licky’, and marginally better ‘Impossible’ – which has performed well on the Billboard Hot 100 (#13 and climbing).

While we bare no ill-will towards Shontelle (we’re not that kind of site), it’s hard to envision her album being certified anything other than triple wood. Folk just aren’t checking for her like that. This, no doubt, being largely to do with her sound and image being modelled on…well…a model (see: Rihanna). Like Fashionista Fenty, Shontelle’s vocal prowess leaves a lot to be desired, hence her label’s marketing of her as the next Rihanna (whose career, 5 years in, is still only as hot as her last single) is baffling to say the least.

In any case, the cover serves its purpose…

    If the title of the album called ‘No Gravity,’ then why is she limited to the surroundings of a cage? “No Gravity” is suppose to represent a sense of freedom, carefreenees amd this picture just dictates the opposite of that, enclosed and restricted. The first single “Impossible” recieved heaviy airplay on the pop charts as the tune is like a mixture of Leona Lewis’s “Happy,” smashed into Beyonce’s “Halo,” with the aftertaste of Be’s “Brokenhearted Girl.” While the lead single was strong, Shontelle was previously releasing tracks to gain momentum towards the release date of the album and might I say “Impossible” is not a reflection of the album. It’s more a pop alternative flavor. Won’t be gettin’ my money, I’ll just download it for free. :-}

    Another underrated artist who deserves some shine. She has a great voice. Because she’s from Barbados people always compare her to Rihanna. Shontelle can actually sing (i’ve listened to her on Ustream once, and she sang any song that was thrown at her) and she actually knows how to play to drums and she writes her own music and writes for others too. I hope her album does well.
    Maybe she needs to change her image, since it’s all about image these days and not the way you sound. If it was the other way around she would’ve been at the top of her game. Change your image Shontelle, starting with that boring hairstyle you always have.

  17. ParisBoi July 23, 2010

    I love Shontelle! She’s beautiful, she got a beautiful voice, she’s climbing the Hot 100 week after week. She really deserve her success 🙂

    “While we bare no ill-will towards Shontelle (we’re not that kind of site)” ===> you don’t say…..

    ” Like Fashionista Fenty, Shontelle’s vocal prowess leaves a lot to be desired, ” ==> like the power vocals of Kelly Rowland maybe???? she’s the next Tina Turner right????

  19. KeepIt Real July 23, 2010

    ALL YOU GUYS LIKE TO DO IS HATE ON ARTISTS…maybe cuz there no Trinidadian artists on the scene since Heather Headley…none from NIgeria period!

    RIHANNA is one of the top pop female artists in the world right now…these guys here continue to HATE on her…she making more records, there would be more #1s….get use to it..

    SHONTELLE is an up and coming artist, shes not as marketable as Rihanna, but shes a good writer , she writes for other artists…vocals are nice… no need to HATE…

    MARIAH whos vocal range borders whistling /screaming …they constantly praise…USED to be good, she’s no longer revelant…she needs stop teaming up with ghetto ass rappers….stick to her ballads and pop music…

    GET A LIFE guys…this BLOG is just pure entertainment..you’re opinions doesn’t really matter…

    SH!T COVER

    SO 2001

  21. Shaytan July 23, 2010

    Why does the world sleep on this girl. She is amazing. I think the world & blogs spend all their time on Young Money & the same 10 artist ( CIara Kelly Ciara Kelly Nicki Ciara Kelly) that people forget about other artist. Impossible is an amazing song!

  22. rob July 23, 2010

    Shontelle can actually sing

  23. tld July 23, 2010

    Has this chick ever had a number one? Please no RIRI comaprioson RIRI is a badddd chichk. She can sing, proof numbers one seven to date, she is beautiful check every man wamts plus D&G!! I could go on but wack site is so jealous of RIRI it’s a shame …..

  24. Anon July 23, 2010

    Impossible is a good song, but the radio play in the States is Killing me. I feel like it’s on every 5 minutes.

  25. st2938 July 23, 2010

    I’ve always thought of Shontelle as a better sounding Rihanna. Her voice is A LOT stronger than Rihanna’s.

  26. number1k9 July 23, 2010

    I agree,

    that the album cover could have maybe shown Shontelle in a moon room defying gravity and all, but maybe she felt like that was to cliche, which it kinds would be.

    instead she went for a symbolic beauty shot, can’t hate her for that!

    ANYWAYS I have got to give her much love n props for having a ballad peak so high on the Hot 100 in this current day and age! I truly hope it becomes a Top 10 single for her, though it truly deserves to peak in the Top 5!

    She has a song that’s called “Say Hello To Goodbye,” which may be her next single or “No Gravity.” “NG,” fits into modern day Electronic radio singles, while “SHTG,” has a nice reminiscent feel to it, reminds me of great 90s/earl 00’s radio music!

    @2TRILL2DEAL this shoot was actually done before Miley’s can’t be tamed. It was shown in a BTS video released at the begining of this year.

    Personally i love the album art, and i think this is going to be Shontelle’s time to shine.

    Both her and Rihanna are talented, but there is no need to keep comparing them.

  28. SHUT THE HELL UP HATERZ… July 23, 2010
