Shontelle - Licky

This is the lead single off of her upcoming second album. With "Licky", she has gone into a direction that is radically different from her first album. This song is rather sexual, and in-your-face versus the subtle sexiness on earlier songs. The song's chorus comes from the Larry Tee and Princess Superstar collaboration of the same name from a while back. This song is catchy and goes beyond the earlier song, however that works better. This song is very much in the same vein as Jordin Sparks' "SOS (Let The Music Play)" which has new verses but the chorus comes from an older song. This is a great opportunity to introduce the Larry Tee/Princess Superstar song to the mainstream.
