Great review from billboard 85/100: "Barbadian singer Shontelle shines on "Impossible," giving one of the year's standout female vocal performances and recalling the poignancy and technical precision of Beyoncé's "Irreplaceable." Shontelle already earned a top 40 entry in 2008 with "T-Shirt," but this arresting midtempo ballad is now the bigger hit of the two. The 24-year-old's vulnerable delivery demands attention when she sings, "Tell them all I know now, shout it from the rooftops/Write it on the skyline/All we had is gone now," releasing the pain of a broken heart. A gentle piano melody, acoustic guitar line, simple drumbeat and light synth production support a stunning melody co-written by Swedish producer Arnthor Birgisson (Jennifer Lopez, Jessica Simpson) and Norwegian singer/songwriter Ina Wroldsen, who also supplies backing vocals. Nothing is impossible when a vocal sounds as effortless and anthemic as this. --Michael Menachem"
New single soon (probably "No Gravity")?
Releasing to UK soon, clarified on her twitter page
Well hopefully they put it back on as second single to boost sales.

From Wikipedia "Licky (Under the Covers)" will be released the lead worldwide single on January 26, 2010, and as the second US single in June of 2010.[10] The video for "Licky (Under the Covers)" was filmed on November 18, 2009 and was directed by Ray Kay. Ray Kay is best known for filming the music videos for artists like Beyonce, Ciara, Lady Gaga, The-Dream, Cheryl Cole and other well known artists.[11] The music video is due to be released in early January 2010 on her official fan site.[12] The lead US single, "Impossible" will be released on February 2, 2010, and will be released as the second worldwide single in June of 2010. The music video for "Impossible" will be filmed in late January of 2010 and released in early March of 2010. However, fans from the country where she has seen the most success internationally, the United Kingdom are still eagerly waiting for any new single to be released. It is expected that Impossible will now be the lead single in the United Kingdom due to success in the United States of America.
BTW, Shontelligence opened with 6K, it has sold 50K total.

Thats wikipedia.
It was never officially released. Impossible was released in the US instead (and Canada) and no other countries has she released anything.

I think For The UK;
1. Licky (chart higher)
2. Impossible (sell more, it makes more people wanna buy the album off a ballad)
- ALBUM
3. No Gravity
ect.
Licky was suppose to get released but than was cancelled, than it was suppose to be the first UK single and the second US single but so far nothing has officially confirmed.
No Gravity is a cool song but it will be a mistake to release it after Impossible, she needs something strong that can benift from Impossible success.
Licky will also be a wrong idea for the US, she needs something fresh that hasn't leaked and can make it in the US, better not a ballad cuz' releasin' one after another seems wrong but Say Hello To Goodbye is great if they want to go for that.
