Woo A and Woo B (Rihanna) - Covers by Leah Shaw

I’m really proud of these two tracks, a couple very different covers of a favorite Rihanna tune. Lots of inspiration from the Feirstein music brain trust here!

Shoutout to Teo Blake for so much work producing these. Also to Mike Cassedy for delightfully weird FX processing on Woo B—plus Max, Jaydee, Aaron, Tamara...music party all here 🙌🏽🌟🎶

Woo A - angry + hurt Woo B - hurt Teo Blake, mix engineer + producer Leah Shaw, co-producer + vocals Mike Cassedy, electric piano + vocal FX processing
