She Has Shontelligence

I was reluctant to post on this artist, Shontelle Layne, better known by her stage name Shontelle is a Bajan singer/songwriter and rapper from Saint James, Barbados. She is popular in the Caribbean for her hit "Colours", realeased in 2005, which is a collaboration with another Bajan artist, Natahlee. She also wrote Alison Hinds' 2006 hit "Roll It Gal". She appeared in the music video for the re-worked "Roll It" performed by J-Status featuring Rihanna and herself, from 2006. Shontelle was recently signed to Syndicated Rhythm Productions/Universal Motown Records. The SRP label is run by the duo of Carl Sturken and Evan Rogers, the same group that led Rihanna to stardom. Above you can check out her first video for her single "T-Shirt" and the video premiere of her second single "Battle Cry". She may not have the sex appeal that Rihanna has but she wins in the talent area hands down.
Her debut album Shontelligece drops November 18.
