Is Shontelle just a one hit wonder? ... She’s certainly shaping up to be that way if her new single “Battle cry” doesn’t make an impression on both sides of the Atlantic...Shontelle was born in Barbados, and went to school with Rihanna! (The highest ranked University in Barbados)
Shontelle’s debut single “T-Shirt” was a huge international hit on both sides of the Atlantic reaching the Top 40 in the U.S., No: 26 in Ireland & No: 6 in the U.K.
The follow up was “Stuck with each other” (featuring Akon) only got to No: 63 in the U.S., No: 23 in the U.K. & No: 46 in the Irish single’s chart.
Shontelle’s debut album “Shontelligence” even failed to make the Top 100 in both the U.S. & U.K. (selling only 6,140 copies in it’s first week in the U.S.) – Note to Shontelle: This could be down to bad marketing, releasing your debut album on the same day as Beyoncé releases her 3rd album is never a good idea!
Shontelle’s new single is called “Battle cry” and is scheduled for release on August 7th.
Verdict on the single.... Mmm, It actually sounds like she’s trying to be a Jordan Sparks, let’s just say ... Poor! (and she's certainly no where near as good as Jordan Sparks)
