Failed to load class "org.slf4j.impl.StaticLoggerBinder"

I'm getting this error with 5.0.8.Final:

SLF4J: Failed to load class "org.slf4j.impl.StaticLoggerBinder".
SLF4J: Defaulting to no-operation (NOP) logger implementation
SLF4J: See http://www.slf4j.org/codes.html#StaticLoggerBinder for further details.

When debugging, I found that StaticLoggerBinder got shaded:

java.lang.NoClassDefFoundError: org/ocpsoft/prettytime/shade/org/slf4j/impl/StaticLoggerBinder

I suspect it is related to the shading of slf4j-api from fc37c10, SLF4J needs to be able to pick up its implementation at the expected location since it's provided (in our case) by Log4j 2.

Looks like it was introduced in 5.0.7.Final, rolling back to 5.0.6.Final fixes the error.
