Music Inspiration: Shingai Shoniwa

I love Noisettes lead singer Shingai Shoniwa.  This photograph by Txema Veste from the UK edition of Harper Bazaar’s March 2011 issue is one of my favorites of her.  Her grace and style (not to mention that fabulous ‘fro) is so inspiring.

I’ve included the Noisettes’ “Never Forget You” in hopes it’ll shed some light on your Monday morning.  Enjoy!
