Some 15 years after winning the Digicel Rising Stars title, Shuga is looking forward to the release of her début album in early 2025.

Titled Girl From Montego Bay, the album showcases guest collaborators Queen Ifrica, Busy Signal, and Agent Sasco.

In a recent interview at Grace Jamaican Jerk Festival in Florida, Shuga shared details about the project.

“So, this is my first album, and its coming out in early 2025, and I’m so excited. It’s a full reggae project produced by Donovan Germain’s Penthouse Records. VP Records is also on board. Reggae lives; reggae live dung a Penthouse, reggae live inna Shuga, reggae cyaan dead,” Shuga told the Jamaica Observer.

 Although the final track listing is yet to be finalized, Shuga said some of her industry peers will be featured on the project.

She said a lot of work went into the creation of the project and that fans will be happy with the finished product.

“This is coming from me, from my heart. It is something to look forward to and the emotions and hard work that we put in will be worth waiting for,” Shuga assured.
