Sneak peek: Shaggy feat. Tarrus Riley – Just Another Girl
Check Shaggy’s official Facebook for a link to a sneak peek of one of the tracks on the awesome upcoming album Summer in Kingston and an interview about the album title, the Sugarcane video and more! Wow!

Shaggy just tweeted: “Summer in Kingston sneak peek listen to “Just Another Girl” ft. Tarrus Riley on Boomshots!”

Just Another Girl is the extra-heavy lead cut off Shaggy’s Summer In Kingston, which is set to be released on July 19 on iTunes and other digital outlets only! Just Another Girl features the great Tarrus Riley. Singy Singy reprises a classic Ken Boothe hook—with its haunting contradiction of trying to get over a girl while you’re still singing about her—and the DJ’s skills are on point as usual. You can front on Shaggy if you like, but reggae’s biggest living hit-maker just keeps knockin’ them out the park. Run that!
