  2. First I must say Shymane is such a beautiful PRINCESS, her voice is remarkable and oh so soothing. This song, Forever In Love just stuck in my head and I cant stop singing it. Shymane has her own sound which makes her unique. Working Class Musik is doing a fantastic job with their artist. Big up the Working Class Musik crew, management staff, singers, song writers, musicians, friends, fans and Marco at Reggaediscography. Nuff Love & Respect!
