  • Noblesse Oblige’s “Voices In My Head” is the final song on their stellar 2013 album Affair of the Heart and it’s an uber-moody, downtempo track that just might have you hearing voices in your own head. The Mylène Farmer meets Massive Attack tune has been one of our favorite Noblesse Oblige songs since we first…
