“When the Noisettes flew to Zimbabwe to perform at HiFA (Harare International Festival of Arts) it was a phenomenal moment for us as a band. It had such an inspirational effect on me as an artist and we will never forget the joyful welcome we received”, Shingai reveals.
“Coming Home is my klaxon call for the diaspora to reunite with those at home and build a bridge of hope. Many of us are scattered and undernourished by the environments we have found ourselves in. We are still healing. ‘Coming Home’ is an ode to our resilience and optimism, even through the chaos. We are loving people and this is a love song for the future. As a child and even now, whenever ‘Shumba’ plays, I smile inside. I feel proud of my roots and am able to keep persevering”, she added.
She wrote and co-directed the accompanying visuals to the uplighting track, shot on location in the majestic mountains of Domboshava and the bustling capital of Harare, Zimbabwe. Using local talents to showcase the beautiful magnificent scenery of Zimbabwe, and the Behind the Scenes of the video was featured in the final episode of BBC 2’s eye-opening four-part series ‘Africa with Ade Adepitan’ last weekend.
With an effervescent soundscape, the ‘Ancient Futures’ EP is fearlessly infused with soulful yet boisterous energy, which is both electrifying and compelling. In an over-saturated market where evolution and authenticity may be the artist’s key to sustainability, Shingai may well be breaking the boundaries of pop before it consumes itself.

Today, I went to the beach with my children. I found a sea shell
and gave it to my 4 year old daughter and said “You can hear the ocean if you put this to your ear.” She
placed the shell to her ear and screamed. There was a hermit crab inside and it pinched her ear.
She never wants to go back! LoL I know this is totally off topic but I had to tell someone!
