The Noisettes: Wild Young Hearts

The Noisettes are a London bred pop trio led by front lady Shingai Shoniwa. The latest album by The Noisettes is entitled Wild Young Hearts. It tends to time travel. For example the title track “Wild Young Hearts” is akin to Frankie Lymon’s “Why Do Fools Fall In Love” where “Saturday Night” is clearly a pop/disco track.

The Wild Young Hearts hit the shelves in September of 2009 and should definitely be checked out. Below are two of the album’s singles.

Bono and Jay-Z Team Up For “Stranded”

Jay-Z & Bono team up for a new track called “Stranded” produced by Swizz Beats. The song will be premiered tonight on the multi-network, MTV fueled telethon benefiting Haiti Earthquake Victims called “Hope For Haiti.”

Bono wrote the hook for “Stranded” — his new Haiti benefit single with Jay-Z and Rihanna, which is subtitled either “Haiti Mon Amour” or “Haiti Mi Amore” — while on the phone with producer Swizz Beatz. “The idea of the song is ‘We’re not gonna leave you stranded’ and that’s what the chorus is,” Swizz Beatz tells Rolling Stone. “So me and Bono started going back and forth with ideas, and he was like, ‘You know this word stranded keeps standing out to me’ and I asked him to sing it, and he put me on hold ’cause he’s recording the ideas on a Dictaphone — so he did it there and then on the phone.”
