"Cinderella" was the third and last song released by the duo; it became their third top twenty single, peaking at number sixteen, and it was certified gold by ARIA. Their debut self-titled album Shakaya was finally released in Australia on 18 October 2002 and was received well, debuting in the charts at number five on 28 October 2002. The album fell to number forty-eight the next week and only spent seven weeks in the top one hundred. On 14 April 2003 the band released a cover version of the Michael Jackson hit "The Way You Make Me Feel"; the girls said it was amazing to cover of one of his songs because he is the King of Pop. The song had a minor success on the charts peaking at number twenty-one and staying in the top fifty for seven weeks. 2005–2006: Are You Ready Are You Ready was recorded over an eighteen-month period in Cairns, Sydney and the United States with a range of producers. The first song released from the album was titled "Are You Ready" and was released on 10 June 2005; it was written and produced by the MadNotes team (who have previously worked with Alicia Keys and Justin Timberlake). The song was promoted well and peaked at number twenty-five on the singles chart. Five months later, the duo released the second and last song from the album, "We Ain't Goin' Down", on 13 November 2005, and it was their lowest charting single, peaking at number fifty. The album was finally released on 5 March 2006 including the two singles but did not chart in the ARIA top 100 albums. The group disbanded due to Naomi Wenitong joining the group The Last Kinection in 2006. 2021–present: Reunion In October 2021, Wenitong and Stacey reunited as Shakaya for the first time in over 15 years to perform at the Pride Fair Day in their native Cairns. They would later perform as part of Yabun Festival in January 2022, and are set to perform at the Quandamooka Festival on Stradbroke Island in August 2022.
