It won't be long before radio stations suck the disco-blood from neck of Swedish singer-songwriter Jenny Wilson and, her album Love And Youth is lost among a graveyard of hack remixes. If it hasn't already happened then you should enjoy it while you can.
"Let My Shoes Lead Me Forward", despite the occasional shudder-inducing Scissor Sisters similarity, is like a squirt of serotonin to a raved-out mind, while the subtler "Summer Time - The Roughest Time" couldn't be more poignant as sunshine burns people's shoulders and relationships seem to burn people's hearts.
Inevitabilities aside, Love And Youth contains the medicinal properties found in both recreational drugs and anti-biotics, and can not only inspire debauchery, but can also induce the numbness needed to recover from it. What's more, unlike Xanax, there is no prescription needed.
