Rihanna was interviewed by Justin Lee Collins last night for his new TV show, called “Justin Lee Collins: Good Times”, that will air on Channel5 soon.

RihannaDaily gave 6 lucky fans the chance to attend and ask RiRi questions. One of the fan questions from “Freida” were chosen to be asked in the fan segment of the show!

Any future plans to work with Shontelle?

No plans, but I would like to.

Finally it’s here! The WORLD Premiere of Shontelle’s “LICKY (Under the Covers)” music video directed by Ray Kay who is best known for filming the music videos for artists like Beyonce, Ciara, Lady Gaga and other well known artists.

The song was released in November on iTunes as an introduction to Shontelle’s sophmore album, and will be serviced to clubs while her official lead single “Impossible” impacts US radio early February. Stay tuned for the official premiere and it’s single cover this week!

The electronic influence track “Licky (Under the Covers)” was produced by DJ Frank E and written by singer/producer Sean Garrett. Look out for her lead single “Impossible” from her upcoming as-yet untitled sophomore album due Spring 2010!

As of today (December 6, 2009), Licky surprisingly made its way to a staggering #3 spot on Shontelle’s most popular selling songs on U.S. iTunes! Note that “Licky” was only officially released on iTunes just under a month ago, while her previous single “Stuck with Each Other” charts at #5 and the recent “Motown 50th Medley” at #4.

People in different areas of the U.S might see a different listing than above, because it tends to fluctuate up and down, but for sure it secures a Top 4 position.

It is quite shocking for “Licky” to reach #3 so fast, but it definitely shows its potential. With an official U.K iTunes release yet to come, an EPIC music video on the way, the single officially hitting radio come January 2010, and an amazing album to follow in April, 2010/11 is looking to be her year.

Get Shontelle’s new infectious smash single “LICKY“, now on iTunes (US) and Amazon MP3!

“Superwoman” (Prod. Stargate) from Shontelle’s debut album “Shontelligence”, is not only one of the best songs on the album, but a true anthem for women empowerment. Recently official club remixes of the song were sent out to the UK for promo until her new smash single “Licky (Under the Covers)” impacts radio early next year (January 2010). Track listing below:

1. Radio Edit

After about a month of touring with the diva herself BEYONCE, Unfortunately it came to an end. Shontelle had a blast and learnt alot from being on tour with her – “Now that’s how ya do it!” said in her own words. “If you haven’t seen her live yet, DO IT!”

You can check out all the fan and personal photos from the “I Am…” tour in the Photogallery, and if you haven’t already, make sure to also watch the personal videos Shontelle took!

The word is that Beyonce will be touring the UK soon again around November 2009, hopefully Shontelle will have the chance to experience it again and gain thousands of new fans.

In an exclusive interview Neonlimelight recently had with London-based singer/songwriter Mr. Hudson, he revealed he wouldn’t mind working with Shontelle! Read an extract below:

When asked about working with another Barbados-native, “T-Shirt” singer Shontelle, Hudson cited time constraints as the reason behind them not being able to pair up. “It’s kind of just a rumor, but like Lil Wayne wants to f-ck every girl in the world, I want to work with every girl in the world.”

Back in January when Shontelle was touring with the ‘NKOTB’ across the United Kingdom, she did an interview with DJ Noel Phillips from Newstyle Radio (Birmingham). During her recent trip to Barbados, Noel managed to get another interview with Shontelle to talk about her latest single “Battle Cry” and the latest going on with her.

Everyone request Battle Cry at your local Radio Station! Let’s make it #1 !!

A few days ago we wrote about the iTunes charting success of Shontelle’s infectious new single “BATTLE CRY” prior it’s official release.

On August 10th, Battle Cry was officially released, it hits radio airplay with lots of upcoming promo in the UK. Already it’s had a good start peaking at #55 and rising on the iTunes Top 100 UK chart!

It is one of her most uplifting songs from her debut album, Shontelligence. The song’s message struck such a powerful, positive message that it was proudly used on President Barack Obama’s campaign compilation CD “Yes We Can: Voices of Grass Roots Movement.”

If there’s one thing you need to know about Barbados-born beauty Shontelle, it’s that she’s all about unity. Make sure you also check out the all new video directed by Jessy Terrero. The video was shot in Los Angeles last March. Check it below!
