Shura has shared a new single, Richardson.
The track subtly blends the British artist's soft vocals with those of New York singer-songwriter Cassandra Jenkins over a melancholic groove. Shura said:
"I fell in love with Cassandra's record at a low point in my life. It felt like an armchair I could crawl into. It accompanied me on long walks I took around my apartment in Greenpoint. I always knew I wanted to work with Cassandra on something. After a few conversations it became obvious to the both of us that it had to be this song. That Cassandra would accompany me here. A song about walking, thinking, and trying to find comfort somewhere, as Cassandra’s voice accompanied me on those walks then."
Jenkins added: "I was drawn to Richardson because it captures a mood that's hard to place, in part because it's so much about place, and a kind of limbo we bring with us wherever we go. I love that this collaboration developed into a meta conversation between me and Shu about the ways we communicate with our loved ones when we are apart, whether by circumstance, time, or geography. It makes me think we were cosmic pen pals long before we ever met."
It serves as the second preview of Shura's third album, 'I Got Too Sad For My Friends', due out through Play It Again Sam on May 30. Produced by Luke Smith, whose résumé includes work with Foals, Shygirl and Depeche Mode, it also features team-ups with Becca Mancari on Bad Kid, and Helado Negro on If You Don't Believe In Love.
Richardson follows on from the record's lead single, Recognise, which Shura shared last month alongside initial details of the record.
Shura has also announced two shows at London's Bush Hall for June 10 and 11. Tickets are on sale now.
Shura Upcoming Tour Dates are as follows
Tue June 10 2025 - LONDON Bush Hall
Wed June 11 2025 - LONDON Bush Hall
