Pop punk provocateurs and current chart frontrunners, Noisettes, return to make the most explosive of impacts with their second album, Wild Young Hearts. Bathed in all of the feisty spirit that shaped their earlier work, the East London innovators experiment with timeless styles and modern day flare, to deliver a super hip record that confidently defies genres and oozes cool.
When Noisettes landed in 2007, with their debut album What's The Time Mr Wolf?, they stood out from the crowd. Crawling with originality, the revved-up rockers demanded attention with a compelling collection of spirited numbers. The tracks showcased not only the band's colliding sound but also the vocal talents of frontwoman, Shingai Shoniwa. Bouncing from jittery and demanding to seductive and agile, Shingai's tones flirted with jazz and soul influences whilst still hitting hard with a rock spite that demonstrated the musical alchemy of Noisettes perfectly. Overflowing with passion, presence, and eclecticism, Wild Young Hearts continues confidently on the winding path where their acclaimed debut left off. 'Sometimes' starts the album in glorious acoustic fashion, with layered lines and Billy Holiday-esque tones, the track builds to a crashing crescendo through its smoky, '40s inspired exterior. Seemingly different to anything the band has delivered before, the creeping opener creates a tension that flows through the remainder of the record. The electrifying, 'Wild Young Hearts' follows, bringing up the tempo with enough screeching synths and joyful howls to become an overnight dancefloor filler. That indie-dance-pop vibe continues with top 5 smash 'Don't Upset The Rhythm' and 'Saturday Night'. With anthemic choruses and soaring melodies, the tracks sparkle with disco vibes yet retain originality due to the band's playful structure.
Noisettes' ability to morph vintage styles into modern musical nuggets is expertly demonstrated, particularly on the '60s-soul-tinged 'Never Forget You'. By shaking up and bringing together a selection of genres, the band have created exciting pop songs that add enough twists and vigour to delight listeners of all musical sects. Original, adventurous, and highly infectious, Wild Young Hearts is a modern day classic that will hold its own for years to come.

Great price, great album! Although i really liked it from the start this album is certainly a grower and i love it more now than i did when i first bought it. With a mix of slow and up-tempo songs and with both pop and rock influences the music is undeniably good but would be lacking a certain something if it wasn't for shingai's beautiful and distinctive voice. Its a great car album and i urge any one to support this home grown band and to see them live as i recently have, they were amazing.
i give it a 4.5
