This is only the cover of Kelly's previous album - which does not consist of the song Shakalaka Baby.
However, I did check out the cover of her latest CD which has the song. Credits are usually not made on the exterior covers but in the inlay. Since the CD was sealed, I could not see whether ARR was actually credited in the CD inlay. --- In [email protected], just me! <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > > Hey guys pls check Kelly Poon's new album cd cover.
