WILD YOUNG HEARTS ALBUM DEBUTS AT #1 ON iTUNES UK CHART
“Shingai Shoniwa tempers Motown melodies with indie rock sensibilities, crafting sweeping, soulful numbers with just the right measure of guitar snarl.” (Rolling Stone)
“An intoxicating blend of pop, soul and disco…outrageously catchy.”
(4 stars, Q magazine)
(July 6, 2009 – New York, NY) In the midst of a busy summer schedule of European festival dates, effervescent UK pop trio Noisettes will travel to America for three weeks of club dates in advance of their album, WILD YOUNG HEARTS. Kicking off July 22nd in Los Angeles, Noisettes will visit nearly a dozen cities. (Please see tour dates below.)
Noisettes’ single “Never Forget You” will go up for sale at all digital partners, tomorrow July 7th! WILD YOUNG HEARTS debuted at #1 on the iTunes UK chart after spawning the massive #2 smash single “Don’t Upset the Rhythm.” The follow-up UK single, the ’60s-tinged soul gem “Never Forget You,” was released on both sides of the Atlantic in June. WILD YOUNG HEARTS is set for September 22nd release in the U.S. on Mercury Records.
Excerpts of “Don’t Upset the Rhythm” and “Never Forget You,” along with the album title tune, “Wild Young Hearts,” “Saturday Night,” “Every Now and Then,” and “Atticus” can be heard on Noisettes’ MySpace website, http://www.myspace.com/noisettesuk. “Scratch Your Name,” “Don’t Give Up” (featured in the soundtrack of the 2007 film series revival St Trinian’s), and “Sister Rosetta (Capture The Spirit).”
WILD YOUNG HEARTS, produced by Jim Abbiss (Adele, Arctic Monkeys, the Rakes) shines the spotlight on versatile singer Shingai Shoniwa, joined by fellow Noisettes Dan Smith on guitar and bearded drummer Jamie Morrison. Shingai has been compared over the years to great voices ranging from Kate Bush and Deborah Harry, to Billie Holiday and Diana Ross, but Shingai – steeped in a panorama of blues, soul, jazz, disco, and funk – is totally unique.
