Here is a new track from Shontelle that surfaced today. The Darkchild-produced song, entitled ‘Perfect Nightmare’, will be featured on her new album, ‘No Gravity‘, which hits stores on September 24th. ‘Perfect Nightmare’ will officially impact US radio on August 31st. Peep the song below:
This song features tight production and should fare well on Pop radio. However, considering the fact that Shonetelle is yet to escape her title of ‘not Rihanna‘, I wonder why she has not chosen to go in a more R&B direction to avoid such comparisons?
Rihanna is without a doubt a Pop act (regardless of what the BET Awards said) and given their similar background and sound, Shontelle should be more adamant about forging her own identity rather than following in her fellow Bajan’s footsteps. Then again, I sense that there is only so much that you can do with a voice like hers. Take it or leave it.

for once I agree with Trent, shontell should indeed go the r and b route, because the tone of her voice seems better suited for R and B. This pop thing is not working for her.
question, so because Rihanna happens to be from the island, Shontelle must pay the price of limiting her creativity and music?
B*******.
She should experiment everything possible, music should be limiting, it’s something to be explored.

shouldn’t *
She is sooooooooo underrated. I agree she should give the R&B thing a go.
I completely agree with @Kedrew
Plus, R&B music isnt doing well in the mainstream anyway, so I think she’s right to go in a pop direction. And anyway, she’s always done pop music, so why should she change just to distance herself from Rihanna?
Shontelle can actually sing, and I wish her all the best. I’ll be requesting this for sure, she deserves the success 🙂
Where is the limit between Pop and R&B nowadays!??
I think it’s September 21st because the 24th is a Friday
and I hate that the album keeps getting pushed back!
this an AMAZING SONG ,so EPIC…I thought I wasnt gonna like this when I heard the the preview
What is with all these paradoxical song titles? Anyway song is alright, nothing special.
Actually, scratch that I didn’t like the song at all, I like Shontelle, but this is a NO.
I like this. I think this will be farewell in the charts.
Black radio won’t play it.
THE SONGS OK I GUESS.

Although I can easily see SHontelle as an R&B artist with the texture of her voice in this,
I Believe that Kedrew is Totally and COmpletely RIght. SHes Always DOne Pop,
this is in Your face Underground pop, and she sings just as good, and sometimes
even Better than RIhanna. WHy should she change just because RIri is from the Island
too and already doing pop. So is every other Pop artist out there. There location
being the same I dont see changing a thing..
When the song started, I was really disappointed by the beginning of the chorus cuz I though it was ANOTHER ballad. I love “Impossible” but I was like, she cannot do another ballad if she wants to get anywhere. But when the pace picked up with the no way’s my jaw dropped and I was like “HOLY S***!” This album is now gonna be amazing and this single is epic. I also love the island feel in the beat. Shontelle should also be able to do anything @Kedrew. Just because they are both from Barbados doesn’t mean she can’t do fun, upbeat music. And I like that this isn’t just about a beat. She’s like Beyonce in some ways because she sings about real stuff, even with a fun beat. Rihanna and Ke$ha just sing about dancing and flirting. NO GRAVITY SEPTEMBER 21!!!
I LOVE IT!
I wish the Shontelle – Rihanna comparison would just stop already.
They’re both incredible artists in their own unique way.
Some people are so simple talking trash just because they are both from Barbados.
Heck, Madonna and the JoBro’s are both American, I guess they must be alike too?! -_-
I agree about the song titles.
Beautiful Nightmare a.k.a. Sweet Dreams
Perfect Nightmare
Beautiful Monster
Enough is enough..
NehhhEEhHHHHeeHH
for sure a hit. she is picking up pace man! like the impossible was a great ballad IMO and it did well in the US and i was quite taken aback because i thought no one cared about her anymore.
she just needs some good live performances and this song would be a big hit! im guessing top 20 or even top 10! this song has potential!
Her voice with R&B music would be DOA. She’ll sound just like teairra mari and all those other people who can’t make a dent in the charts! Let her do her thing!
Wow.. this song is awesome.. guess she just keep bringing the hits… i can wait til ‘No Gravity’.
It was genius of her to record new songs with Darkchild. Most of the album leaked before and a lot of it was mediocre to me. But now this will be fire! Too bad she said on Twitter that she isn’t gonna perform at the VMA’s because she isn’t nominated. So? That could give “Perfect Nightmare” and her album a big boost. grr…
@ERIC but Madonna thinks she’s British lolz…
