Paolo Nutini’s sophomore album titled “Sunny Side Up’ is surely shedding light upon the 19-year-old Scottish singers validity as an artist. Already making giant strides beyond the sales of his first album “These Streets”, his new album is an amalgamation of soul, pop, folk and R&B. Although certain tracks are clear candidates to be hit-singles, each of the twelve songs carries its own weight magnificently.
For your ultimate listening pleasure with Nutini’s new masterpiece, my suggestions are as follows: some comfortable lounging accommodations, an area with ample space for dancing, and your favorite ice cold beverage! Now all that’s left to do is press play and let the music guide you. The opening track, titled “10/10” has an energetic beat and catchy lyrics, along with a big band appeal and loud brass tones (**your cue to get up and groove**). The next couple of tunes project a soulful vibe and bring down the rhythm sending you into a soothing realm of relaxation (**sit down and pick up beverage here**). Then, in the song “Pencil Full of Lead” the energy picks back up (**stand, jive**) with jazz horns, a cheerful beat and lyrics that will warm your heart. The climax of the album hits next with the beautiful love ballad titled, “No Other Way” (**may want to pause here and invite a (romantic) friend**). With Nutini’s raspy vocal tone he belts out the chorus, “I work my days for you/cuz I love you/Girl, I don’t want you/I need you/ and I can’t see no other way…”. And if that doesn’t set the mood kids… then you need to make another beverage and hit repeat. The rest of the album rides out smoothly and soulfully, so stay in your seat and savor.
“Sunny Side Up” is an album that serves up an exciting new dish of the Paolo Nutini we originally loved, so flip it on and enjoy!
