Paolo Nutini, the scrawny 20-year-old Scottish kid’s self-titled debut showcases an incredible talent for elegant, melodic songwriting and an admirable willingness to vary the tempo. It’s a credit to Nutini’s likeability that the Seventies soul-pop of New Shoes and Stones-lite swagger of Jenny, Don’t Be Hasty sit so comfortably alongside string-drenched ballads like Last Request. Paolo Nutini has absorbed the soul of classic artists from both sides of the Atlantic and channeled it into something original, captivating, and dynamic. Paolo Nutini’s talent and his live show will blow you away! That’s not merely a promise, it’s fact!
