和蕾哈娜同出生于英属西印度群岛之一的巴佩道斯岛,全名Shontelle Layne的Shontelle,从小是品学兼优的学生,更可发挥无比运动细胞,是人人称羡、能动能静的才艺美少女。虽然深爱歌唱,但爸妈却不认为表演艺术是份有前景的稳定工作,不过Shontelle的阿姨也是当地知名艺人Kim Derrick,却不断鼓励她坚持并追寻梦想。上了大学,一边学习法律,一边着手创作,在好友蕾哈娜引荐下,Shontelle慢慢跟音乐界有所接触,2005年替Alison Hinds谱写“Roll It Gal”,并于2007年全球发行,陆续征服纽约、迈阿密、英欧等各国排行榜,Shontelle因此更笃定自己未来的方向,随即和环球音乐集团签下合约,成为蕾哈娜师妹,并筹备录制个人专辑。
【Shontelligence】顺利问世,采纳Shontelle八首亲笔创作,更有多达十位重量级制作人连手拱盘,空降美国热门潜力榜季军+节奏蓝调/嘻哈榜Top24。首波中慢板R&B主打“T-Shirt”,诉说对爱人的极度思念,快速挺进告示牌流行榜前40名,请到碧玉、碧昂丝、里欧娜等大牌幕后推手Wayne Wilkins掌舵;踩着明亮舞动感节奏的“Battle Cry”,同样是美国总统欧巴马竞选歌之一,造成电台涌进超高点播率;悦耳吉他拨弦串成顺畅音符之“Superwoman”,编织出励志人心的动容好歌,交付当红炸子鸡Stargate(蕾哈娜、尼欧、夏奇拉)主镇;挑起Shontelle全身性感细胞,嗅着迷人Soulful气息的“Cold Cold Summer”以及流行满分之“Plastic People”,同见识打造超级男孩、男孩特区、98度等偶像团队的双人伙伴Evan Rogers和Carl Sturken绝佳功力;一鸣惊人的“Roll It”,Shontelle拿回来重新诠释收录;“Life Is Not An Easy Road”与取样Sting经典“Fragile”的“I Crave You”,皆大秀最拿手的雷鬼调调;弥漫无比中东韵味的“Focus Pon Me”,Shontelle更善用Reggae的说唱方式演绎。一张会让你爱不释手的大碟,Shontelle等待你的热情掌声!
