The Sweetest Taboo is a twentieth album by Australian singer and songwriter Katie Noonan. The album is described as a jazz collection of reimagined 80s classics and was released in May 2020.[2] The album peaked at number 70 on the ARIA Charts.
Noonan said "For my twentieth album, I wanted to go back to the magic, the joy, the spark that first started my love affair with pop music. This was in suburban Brisbane, Ashgrove, in the mid-eighties. I decided to focus on a particular period of time, aged seven to eleven, from my first single to my first album, to albums that really changed our lives like The Joshua Tree. I picked bunch of tunes and reimagined them with my favourite Aussie jazz musicians, so, it's feels awesome."[3]
At the AIR Awards of 2021, the album won Best Independent Jazz Album or EP.[4]
