Shontelligence (2008–2009)[edit]
Shontelle began work on her debut studio album in early 2008, and completed the album in six months. The album's title was given to her by the album's engineer who used the word 'shontelligence' as a joke after Shontelle and her producers were playing a game that involved making up words from her name.[3] 'T-Shirt', Shontelle's debut single, was released in July 2008 and reached number thirty-six on the US Billboard Hot 100, becoming a moderate hit. However, it peaked within the top ten of the charts in Belgium and the United Kingdom.[3]
Shontelle's debut album, Shontelligence, was released on 18 November 2008. The album reached number 115 on the US Billboard 200,[4] selling 6,200 records in its first week,[5] and reached number twenty-four on the R&B/Hip-Hop Albums chart.[4] It was re-released on 10 March 2009, and has since sold 30,000 records in the US.[5]
The second single from the album, 'Stuck with Each Other', featuring Akon, was released in February 2009 in the US and May 2009 in the UK.

Shontelle's second album, No Gravity, was released in the US on 21 September 2010.[8] Shontelle stated that the album would be experimental and that she wanted to change her original sound for the record.[9] While the title 'No Gravity' symbolises a mantra, Shontelle states she has adapted to her life and to her career, to motivate herself to keep climbing higher and to have nothing hold her down or hold her back.[10] Shontelle collaborated with Bruno Mars, Tony Kanal and Darkchild among others for the record.[11] In the first week of release, No Gravity placed at number eighty-one on the Billboard 200, selling 7,000 copies.[12]Later that year Shontelle would co-write Rihanna's song 'Man Down' from her fifth studio album, Loud (2010).[13] The two had met whilst in the army cadets, where Shontelle was Rihanna's drill sergeant.[14]

Shontelle Impossible Piano Chords
I remember years ago, Someone told me I should take
Caution when it comes to love, I did, I did
And you were strong and I was not, My illusion, my mistake
I was careless, I forgot, I did
And now when all is done there is nothing to say, You have gone and so effortlessly
You have won, you can go ahead tell them, Tell them all I know now
Shout it from the roof tops, Write it on the sky line
All we had is gone now, Tell them I was happy

And my heart is broken, All my scars are open
Tell them what I hoped would be
Impossible, impossible, Impossible, impossible

Falling out of love is hard, Falling for betrayal is worst
Broken trust and broken hearts, I know, I know
Thinking all you need is there, Building faith on love and words
Empty promises will wear, I know, I know
And now when all is gone, there is nothing to say
And if you're done with embarrassing me, On your own you can go ahead tell them
Tell them all I know now, Shout it from the roof tops
Write it on the sky line, All we had is gone now
Tell them I was happy, And my heart is broken
All my scars are open, Tell them what I hoped would be
Impossible, impossible, Impossible, impossible
Impossible, impossible, Impossible, impossible
Ooh, impossible, Yeah, yeah
