This week I have heard a new talent. His name is Paolo Nutini, an Scottish-Italian singer. I was once again, flipping through the channels at about 11 at night, saw this musician, with so much talent with great lyrics playing his music. He intrigued me with his modern troubadour style.
With songs of love, stardom in the U.K. that has maturity of far beyond his age of 22. I looked him up on the Internet, and only listened to five songs. Loved them all. So sweet, so real, and you can hear his influences in his music...gotta love that. Some artists at his age, from as far as I have heard have his range and sensitivity in his music, has major class ahead. The lyrics make me laugh, feel for him, understand what he went through at the time. His story of how he became a star is also pretty interesting too, as he started out as a roadie for a local band. He was discovered by a member of the band, and then shortly received his label signing. He has sung for the Queen, played with The Stones, Paul Weller (The Jam), Quincy Jones, and also has a song on a commerical for PUMA. Wow, what a talent! Right now as I am listening to his debut cd, These Streets, listening to the amazing, beautiful, accented voice feel the passion behind the lyrics. Those sweet ballads that just stay in your head, and that you don't want to leave. From the pop single "New Shoes" to the James Brown and Marvin Gaye soul inspired song "Loving You", to a tired, hardworking young man feelings in "Million Faces" leaving you with a feel of how Paolo lives. A great talent! Hope to come to your show soon!
