Album Notes
Personnel: Shingai Shoniwa (vocals, background vocals); Jamie Morrison (drums, percussion).
Audio Mixer: Richard Wilkinson.
Recording information: Mayfair Studios; Rak.
With an energetic mix of garage punk bluster, and the quavering jazz- and soul-flavored vocal inflections of front-woman Shingai Shoniwa, the Noisettes became among the most heavily-hyped of U.K. acts with the release of their 2007 debut, WHAT'S THE TIME MR. WOLF? While their sound is not particularly unique in a pop landscape dotted with powerhouse vocalists from Adele to Amy Winehouse to Duffy, the Noisettes, and Shoniwa in particular, bring a modernized vitality sometimes lacking in the retro stylings of their contemporaries. And while the group's 2009 follow-on, WILD YOUNG HEARTS, represents something of a throwback to familiar pop references (the Supremes-like "Never Forget You" and the `60s acoustic-pop of "Atticus"), the balance of the album presents robust synth-based dance rock that is closer in spirit to the Yeah Yeah Yeahs--best reflected in the confident Karen O-styled strut of "Saturday Night" and the atmospheric lament of "24 Hours."
Industry Reviews
Every string-swept disco flourish or arena-rock guitar break heightens an unflappable poise that bypasses rote R&B melisma for soul-shaking celebration.
