Shontelle covers Rihanna’s “Man Down”
4We knew that Loft965.com interviewee Shontelle is a big Beyonce fan, we didn’t know she liked a little Rihanna too!

Shontelle is hitting too close to Beyonce on this one, but it has some good qualities.

Shontelle’s already on her second single for her second album. This one’s a ballad. It’s kind of reminiscent of “Unforgiven” by Rihanna.
Exclusive: 5 Questions with Loft965: Shontelle

We are very proud to announce a new post series. This will be a series of exclusive one-of-a-kind interviews with artists we feature on Loft965.com. Shontelle rose to fame with her radio-friendly hit “T-Shirt” and is now ready to wow the world with her second album. We had a little electronic chat with her and this is how it went.
1. Loft965.com loved “Battle Cry” and we can’t wait for the new material. What can we expect of the new album, when will it be released and what is the title?
“Thank you! That song means so much to me because it so Motivational. My new album will be released in Spring 2010 and is titled “No Gravity” (also an track title written by me).”
2. Your new single “Licky (Under The Covers)” samples “Licky” by Larry Tee. Were you fan of that song and what was the inspiration behind incorporating it into the track?
“LOL! I was a huge fan of the funny, naughty little video for the original on Youtube. A track was sent to me by DJ Frank E without verses but the hook using the Larry Tee sample was in and the beat was so dope I wished I could walk into a club and hear it that same night! We called up Sean Garrett and he added the craziest verses and I jumped on it right away.”
3. What is your favorite color and why?
“Yellow. It’s the most vibrant and friendly color in IMO. It reminds me of the sun and my favorite flower, the yellow rose. I’m from Barbados where it’s always golden and sunny so maybe that has something to do with it?”
4. Yes, your music is also heavily-influenced by Barbados. If you had to describe the new album, No Gravity, in five words, what would they be?
“Improved. Sexy. Inspirational. Cathartic. Fun.”
5. We love quotes, what is your favorite quote?
“Keep moving forward” – Walt Disney
Shontelle’s second album No Gravity comes out on April 16th, 2010.

Shontelle’s first album rocked some waves and made her the second best Bajan in the R&B business after Rihanna. Now she is back with her second album titled Licky and this is the first single off of it.
Shontelle’s album is a grower…

As much as I love R&B, I feel like sometimes it gets all muddled up in the hype and plateaus for a bit (jackswing? crunk?). It is best when soul and sultry. Shontelle’s horribly named debut Shontelligence seems like a promising reformist record with a hint of reggae. Now let’s hope all of these are: Ciara’s Fantasy Ride (highly unlikely), Lady Love by LeToya (maybe), Pulse by Toni Braxton (she “doesn’t have a single hip hop bone” in her body), Love, Tweet by Tweet (if she dumps Missy), Monica’s Still Standing (again, if she dumps Missy Elliott) and Whitney’s tentatively titled Undefeated.
Introducing… Shontelle
Shontelle has been around for a couple of weeks now with her album Shontelligence (No, you are eyes are not fooling you), but i was intrigued to check her out when she reached the top 10 in the UK charts because if an R&B song hits high in the UK, it must be good. The song “T-Shirt” is what she is famous for, this one is a lesser-known single, by the name of “Battle Cry.” Check this Bajan singer out.
