Shontelligence album debut

Islandista Shontelle's album Shontelligence debuted yesterday and she celebrated with a Mad Tee party at Room Service in New York City, which was hosted by Vibe. Check out some of the pics from the party below...

Doing big things girl... keep on keeping on!

But... while it may seem a bit unseemly to bring this up right when she's getting her shine on... it has to be said that real islandistas are worried and a bit puzzled by some of Shontelle's actions recently.

Like... that interview with kiwibox which we swear must have been forwarded to us no less than a dozen times by various people.



Really Shontelle? Third world? You know you know better... or rather, you don't because you are very much a 'terrace and heights' kind of girl. Bajans have been losing their minds about this. People veeeexxxxxx bad!

And the faux-Yankee accent is... painful.

We here at Islandista are willing to give you a bligh so we just beg yuh... do... don't let the Yankees make you hide who you are. Do you, hon.

Islandista on the rise - Shontelle Layne

What with her beautiful, poignant song 'T-shirt' making its way up the Billboard Hot 100 charts, we figured we should highlight islandista-on-the-rise Shontelle Layne.

According to the Barbados Nation, the song is now at no. 37 on the charts, after debuting at no. 86 seven weeks ago.


And to that we say- hurray! Truly the world is getting to see the talent of the islands more and more in the 21st century - both in sports and in entertainment.

Twenty-three year old Shontelle is the definition of an islandista - successful, educated, talented and fly. She doesn't just sing, but she also writes - for herself and other artistes and actually copped the Road March title in Barbados in 2005 with 'Colours'. She also wrote Alison Hinds' monster comeback hit 'Roll'.

And, armed with her law degree from the University of the West Indies, she has been apparently been taking care of business well before she was signed with Universal/Motown in 2006. It has long been thought that she was the 'mystery member' who copped the biggest every royalty payout from Barbados' copyright society COSCAP - $50 000 back in 2005-2006, the year of Colours and Roll. We definitely say hurray to that!

We're looking forward to watching this islandista rise and rise.
