‘I think kissing is beneficial, actually’: the whistling prodigy courted by Dr Dre, Barbie and Karen O


Molly Lewis started whistling on a whim. Now she’s a world champion with a debut record dedicated to classic cinema and jazz clubs

She’s been flown to New York to guest on the Barbie soundtrack with Mark Ronson; to Shanghai for an art show hosted by Gucci; and to Cannes film festival courtesy of Chanel. Now, she’s releasing a long-awaited debut album, On the Lips, a deft odyssey through exotica, jazz clubs, bossa nova beats and Italian cinema powered by the pathos of Lewis’ whistling. After a decade in LA haunting the Hollywood lounge bars and forging ties with like-minded retronauts, Lewis is planning to move to New York, to soak up the jazz clubs.
