One of the songs included in the August 23 leaks was a super early version of Boom Clap, titled "boom clap 01 real". It starts out with Charli singing the first verse, but it's a different voice on the chorus. And it sounds a lot like Noonie. Here's a snippet of it: https://vocaroo.com/i/s0N1j9n44MTS
I think the same voice is in a later demo, "Boom_Clap_S_P_0.6", due to her distinctive way of singing "on and on and on". But she's barely audible over Charli's track. She might be gone entirely in the final version.
So what's the deal? She's not listed as a songwriter or additional vocalist, but Noonie's co-written a ton of Charli's songs, including 2 on Sucker. She got a shoutout on Bounce. Has she done backup vocals for other Charli tracks?
During his toured for Pyschodelic Journey he played a collab with Noonie bao but not heard anything about it since

And you can listen to Beats radio 1 for free, but you do need to have the latest itunes installed which is shit, but there you go.
Someone that I think that this sub should show some more love for is Noonie Bao. She has penned some of this sub's favorite songs, Run Away With Me and Vroom Vroom (as well as top 10 hit "Stay" by Zedd, and MØ's "Final Song"), which should be reason enough. Her solo work is fantastic. She has an ethereal and beautiful voice and her lyrics are really unique.
Here's some of her best solo work:
-
Pyramids, her most pop-y song and honestly in my top 10 best pop songs.
-
Reminds Me, an epic Kate Bush-esque song with a fast drum beat driving the chorus
-
I'm In Love, a love song that despite being happy lyrically is not sung that way
She has also provided vocals for a lot of electronic songs:
-
Clean Bandit - Rihanna (from the deluxe version of New Eyes)
I'm super excited for her sophomore album and other songs she will write because she has a penchant for writing top-tier pop songs.
