Shura's shared a new song called "What's It Gonna Be?", the latest preview of upcoming record Nothing's Real.
It's a massive, addictive tune with vibrant streaks of '80s pop and the kind of choppy energy that soundtracks John Hughes montages.
Speaking to Annie Mac on her BBC Radio 1 show, where the song debuted as the Hottest Record In The World, Shura said: “This record is about fancying someone and maybe having a kind of connection and realizing that it’s probably not gonna happen.”
Nothing's Real is out on 8 July.
