Noisettes' Shingai announces upcoming collaborative album Flow featuring Nadine Shah, Shohini Alam, Jaloo and more

Noisettes' Shingai has announced the upcoming collaborative album Flow, set for release in November via global climate project EarthSonic.

Produced by award-winning American record producer Jennifer Decilveo and Brazilian-Venezuelan producer Alejandra Luciani, the forthcoming record features British singer-songwriter Nadine Shah and British-Bangladeshi singer Sohini Alam.

Described as a tribute to women and water in the global climate emergency, the LP also features Brazilian singers Jaloo, Bebé Salvego, and Keila, American musician and producer Madame Gandhi, and more.

Flow will also soundtrack the same-titled artistic documentary, set to premiere next year. The film is said to share stories of frontline women affected by water-related crises across Brazil, Bangladesh, Zimbabwe, Tuvalu, Iceland and the UK.

Alongside the announcement, Shingai released the track ‘Mhondoro’, which was inspired by the Zimbabwean song ‘Dzinomwa Muna Save’.

"‘Mhondoro’ is a warning to any more attempts to pollute our sacred waters - nationally and internationally," said Shingai.

"‘Dzinomwa Muna Save’ loosely translates as ‘We drink from the Save River - Our ancestors the Lions (Shumba-My mother's Totem) drink from the Save River. So we are the children of the Save River, from whom our ancestors (the Lions) drink.’"

The single will be accompanied by a remix EP, set to be released on May 25 to celebrate Africa Day.

The EP is set to feature Ethiopian DJ Hibotep, Somali DJ, R3igndrops, Ugandan DJ Tapiwa, multidisciplinary artist Shumba Maasai, British electronic duo Coldcut, and music producer Aron Kyne.

The collaborative album began in 2025 when the featured artists came together to represent Flow in five live performances at the United Nations Climate Conference COP30 in the Brazilian Amazon.

The group of musicians is now preparing to perform at the opening of COP31, taking place in November in Turkey.

"My expectation is that this performance will not be merely symbolic," said Bebé Salvego. "That the leaders present understand that culture is not an accessory to a diplomatic event. Art has the power to denounce, to mobilise, and to imagine futures.

"Protecting the waters requires real commitment, structural change, and listening to the territories. We are there to remind them that the climate crisis has a face, a body, and a history."

EarthSonic is a global project by In Place of War that uses music to raise awareness about the climate crisis, working with indigenous communities, musicians, cultural organisers, scientists, climate activists and experts.
