\"Noonie<\/a><\/p>\n

By Mandy Rogers<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n

Joining the crop of Swedish visionaries of the alternatively striking ilk steered to notability by the likes of Lykke Li<\/strong> and Beatrice Eli<\/strong>, one might initially term Noonie Bao<\/strong><\/a> as a newcomer.<\/p>\n

Although, prior to unleashing her sonic visions to the world at large earlier this year, Noonie<\/strong><\/a> has worked upon her accomplished foundation by absorbing herself wholly into a musical backbone, that has seen her schooled at Music School in Stockholm, tinkering around a piano store in Switzerland, a spell as assistant at a recording studio in Paris and in turn being snapped up by EMI publishing<\/strong> as songwriter and producer for some of it\u2019s major label female artists.<\/p>\n

Given details her grounding, it is no surprise that Noonie<\/strong><\/a> has stirred up a diversified sound-platter of new world and culturally embracing dainty pop threaded into her music, that was perhaps not so evident upon her debut \u201cAbout To Tell<\/strong><\/a>\u201d but definitely manifests on this, her second release \u201cDo You Still Care<\/strong>\u201d.<\/p>\n

Noonie\u2019s<\/strong> <\/a>sound may have may have Sweden at it\u2019s roots, but as akin to Gary Barlow\u2019s<\/strong> rousing Commonwealth round-up of cultural musical unity on \u201cSing<\/strong><\/a>\u201d Noonie Bao\u2019s<\/strong><\/a> \u201cDo You Still Care<\/strong>\u201d flings it\u2019s arms around in worldly musical enterprise, in a jauntily quirky manner that globetrots through a twinkling topping of Irish sounding folk pipes, and goes on to feed in a rhythmic baseline underpin of a Maori-esque tribal chant, bound together in endearing quirky holistic vocal beauty by Noonie<\/strong><\/a>.<\/p>\n

With such a reawakening of world sound upon the track \u201cDo You Still Care<\/strong>\u201d, Noonie\u2019s<\/strong><\/a> choice of video representation in absorbing herself into a splash of Indian Holi Festival<\/strong> colour triumphantly heralding good over evil and the welcoming of summer is wholly fitting of such a brightly exciting and freshly discovered multi-talented youngster.<\/p>\n

Last word on this, nothing but all consumingly gorgeous and definitely one to watch!<\/p>\n
