2009, Mercury
VINYL FORMAT. Comes with an MP3 download! The Noisettes are a London based, three piece band composed of soulful and captivating front woman Shingai Shoniwa on vocals/bass, Dan Smith on lead guitar/vocals and Jamie Morrison on drums. From the stomping electro-rock of "Saturday Night" and galloping funk grooves of "Don't Upset the Rhythm," to the glorious '60s-tinged soul of "Never Forget You" in Wild Young Hearts, Noisettes have made what is set to be one of 2009's most adventurous albums!
"[Wild Young Hearts fizzes with energy, huge and undislodgeable pop hooks and choruses that fall over themselves. Reigning over all she surveys, Shingai Shoniwa emerges not only as the most compelling and naturally charismatic female vocalist in Britain, but as the natural heir to Eartha Kitt. Like Kitt, she seems barely containable within a song, the sense she gives off of calm or temporarily muted acquiescence on the beautiful slower tracks ("Sometimes, Atticus," "Cheap Kicks") ratcheting up the tension for when, inevitably, she shakes off the vocal shackles on the likes of "Never Forget You" and the title track...Shoniwa and her band mates, Dan Smith and Jamie Morrison, have dusted themselves down, remembered what they love about music, and written a brilliant pop-soul album." - UK Times
