Attention Island is Heerraa's first R&B single that was jointly produced by ET Boost Studio and MAP Music, reported New Straits Times.
Other than being an internationally-recognised singer, she also co-founded Ascendancepro, a youth organisation aimed to provide support and empower the youths of today to reach their full potential
