Are You Ready is the second and the final album by Australian girl duo Shakaya, released on 5 March 2006 by Columbia Records. [1] It was produced by Billy Mann and Christopher Rojas and features urban R&B songs—written by Shakaya themselves and Audius Mtawarira, Daniel O'Donoghue, Ruth-Anne Cunningham and Jonathan Davis. Sales of the album in Australia did not match those of their first album Shakaya (2002), and the singles " Are You Ready" and " We Ain't Goin' Down" were not major hits. [2] It is the final album from the group, as they disbanded later in the year due to Naomi Wenitong joining the hip-hop group The Last Kinection in 2006. [3]
