Jaszy Shavers [2022] - Who's Gunna [Self Released]


I think this new single from Jaszy Shavers "Who's Gunna" may be another with an incorrect release date as it is showing as 8 Mar and should perhaps be 18 Mar as it has only seemed to appear on listings this week. However, a video for it was uploaded on her YouTube channel on 9 Mar so maybe it slipped through the cracks.

The other song is a cover of Chaka Khan's 1984 hit "I Feel For You" which features FiJA from Tokyo on vocal duty.
