UK singer/songwriter Shura dropped her debut White Light EP on July 17th via Interscope.
The 6-track project features Shura’s three original songs “Indecision,” “2Shy” and “White Light” and remixes for those tracks by Jungle, Warpaint and Factory Floor’s Gabe Gurnsey, introducing the world to Shura’s nostalgic blend of ethereal dance-pop and R&B with a touch of dancefloor re-work.
Shura will also be doing a run of select shows in the United States in July, hitting New York, LA and San Francisco- dates below.
