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…

BAJAN INVASION B****! Sam is just because no nappy headed Nigerians are on the charts.
STAY MAD!
This is a hater site!
Shes Beautifulll
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. :-}
Cute.

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.
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????
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
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!
Shontelle can actually sing
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 …..
Impossible is a good song, but the radio play in the States is Killing me. I feel like it’s on every 5 minutes.
I’ve always thought of Shontelle as a better sounding Rihanna. Her voice is A LOT stronger than Rihanna’s.
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!

>>>>>>>>>>>>Ummmm excuse you, we are NOT stupid!
@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.
WHY DO HATERS ALWAIZZ HATE…ITS SOO STUPID UR ACTING LIKE DERES NO ROOM FOR OTHER SINGERS TO SHINE…EVERYBODY HAS A DREAM SINCE THEY WERE LITTLE TO BECOME WHATEVER THEY WANTED SHONTELLES WAS A SINGER WHY DONT U JUS GIVE HER A BREAK LIKE ITS SO ANNOYING TO ALWAIZZ SEE DA SAME COMMENTS ON ARTISTS SAYING HOW THE FLOPPED IF SHE FLOPPED DEN U HAVE OBVIOUSLY SANK CUZ NO ONE IN THE WOORLDD KNOW’S U…ATLEAST SHES TRYING TO MAKE A NAME FOR HERSELF THE MUSIC BUISNESS IS HARD BECAUSE ALL PPL CONCENTRATE ON ARE THE USUAL ARTISTS AND THEY ALWAIZZ GIVE THE NEW ARTISTS A HARD TIME OR SAY THAT THEY ARE COPYING ANOTHER ARTIST JUS BECUZ THEY CHANGE THERE LOOK OR THERE MORE EDGIER THAN BEFOR OR THERE TO DANCEY LIKE WAT MUSIC ARE THEY SUPPOSED TO DO U HAVE TO TRY AND DO MUSIC THAT WILL SELL DAT WILL CATCH PPLS ATTENTION…SO WHILE UR HATING SHES THE ONE CLIMBING ON THE BILLBOARD CHARTS AND SHES THE ONE WHOS GUNNA BE PERFORMING ON JIMMY KIMMEL AND WENDY WILLIAMS << WHICH SHE ACTUALLY IS BECUZ SHE SED SHE IS…AND SHES ALSO THE ONE WHOS MAKIN DA MONEY..OH AND WHAT ARE U DOIN?….OH OKAY THATS WHAT I THOUGHT…SMDH
I think she sounds way better than Rihanna!!!!!
Shes amazing i love her the album sound fun
Absolutely nothing special about this chick. However, I would take her over that other one anyday
…deuces
I actually like her… hope she continues to grow. I think she’s a lot better than Rihanna singing wise but she just doesnt have Rihanna’s type of attention on her.
is it becuz there r no trinis on the chart?is that y u hate plz
i am not a big fan of shontelle either but she can sing reasonably well
she just have not found her rhythm r direction
unveils no flopity?
Did u Read over ur caption or did u just write whatever came to ur mind??? no matter what u guyz just would never give rihanna a chance huh??? its amazing ur the only blog i see that HATES some1 SOOOOOO Much, perez throws Shade But He Still Give Props where its due!! What Did Rihanna Do to make U And That f** Trent hate her So Much?? Is It because She Came From the Caribbean n become More Successful than any other Caribbean Artiste…. Plz enlighten ME Cause I wanna Know!!!!
I undestand why you guys hate on Rihanna, but why would you hate on Shontelle…this girl can actually sing, and she does it very well.
FLOP!
Sorry, the cover is SO NOT GOOD. She needs to think Image, becuz that’s what alot of the sales are based on these days.
