After scoring a hit with "Makeda," the first U.S. single from its "Princesses Nubiennes" debut album, Les Nubians is ready to coronate a Sade cover as its next single.

For the record, the two sisters from Bordeaux, France -- Helene and Celia Faussart -- reworked Sade's 1986 cut, "Sweetest Taboo," which the duo has christened "Taboo." Now as they prepare to release a single version of the track, the siblings have announced plans to remix the song with the Roots, a group the duo has known for some time.

Les Nubians opened for the Roots some five years ago when the Philadelphia rap outfit first toured Europe. Now the siblings count the Roots and its sound as one of Les Nubians' biggest hip-hop inspirations.

"I know at the beginning when the Roots released their first album, it was very controversial," Helene explained in an interview with the MTV Radio Network. "People were saying it's not hip-hop, because they were playing live instruments. For me, it's the kind of flavor that

I love in hip-hop. The Roots flavor."

In September, Les Nubians will take its stage show to the United Nations for a special one-off concert with Lauryn Hill.
