After further developing the track with co-producer Jay Pryor and adding Shauna's magical, vibrant touch, the track is finally ready to go out into the world this evening.
Blues described the single as: "Something for everyone to party to.
"We spent the pandemic, locked away in our studio in Tallaght, cooking up some new music. We wanted to make a summer nightlife banger".
A Londoner of Jamaican heritage, Shauna Shadae's sound is infused with the influences of Sizzla, Lauryn Hill, Erykah Badu, and more.
'Late Night Flex' comes ahead of her upcoming EP which is set to feature stars such as Pa Salieu and Tion Wayne.
Shauna says: “Late Night Flex will have you calling your ex. I don't make the rules!"
