No Gravity

No Gravity is the second studio album by Barbadian R&B singer Shontelle. It was released on September 21, 2010. The album was recorded from August 2009 to August 2010. It has been preceded by the lead single “Impossible”, which was released on February 9, 2010, and reached number thirteen on the Billboard Hot 100. A second single, “Perfect Nightmare”, was sent to US radio on August 31, 2010.

Shontelle stated that the album would be experimental and rock-influenced and described the overall sound as “well-balanced”. The album was delayed from its original August 24 release date to September 14 (later September 21) in order for Shontelle to collaborate with Darkchild. The late sessions with producer Rodney Jerkins, made one of Shontelle’s dreams come true. She said he is someone who she “always wanted to work with,” and that the studio sessions ultimately generated what is about to become the album’s second single, “Perfect Nightmare”. Beatweek described the song as something which “threatens to be a ballad for its first minute, but ultimately explodes into a dance-friendly number.” The song “DJ Made Me Do It” was originally intended for twin sisters, Nina Sky, who recorded the song for their second album. But when their project was delayed the song’s writers, The Jackie Boyz, Bruno Mars and Philip Lawrence, offered it to Shontelle because technically the song didn’t belong to Nina Sky.
