There is something deliciously wicked and fancy about the UK-based indie trio the Noisettes. Musically, they follow their own rules - the styles they invoke will attract all types of bright listeners and music snobs. With their latest record, Wild Young Hearts, dropping later in September on Mercury Records, there's the funk/disco grove, the sweet girl group/doo wop melodies, the electro dance rhythms, and '60s soul that will evoke an array of emotions in everyone privy to its brilliant sounds. So check out Alexandra Jones' conversation with Noisettes' dynamic frontwoman Shingai Shoniwa in this month's cover feature.
