Noisettes On ‘Wild Young Hearts’

John Kennedy takes Shingai, Dan and Jamie through their chart-shagging new album, ‘Wild Young Hearts’, track by track.
‘Don’t Upset The Rhythm’ was an amazing song. We all know that because everyone went out and bought a copy. It put the Noisettes at number 2 in the chart and kicked off a pop-tastic career that we all wished on the trio.
Little did we know that the following album, ‘Wild Young Hearts’, had just as much strength in depth. It was a proper pop corker and was armed to the teeth with a sack full of massive tunes.
