His first album included an array of catchy tunes that were used everywhere from Puma commercials to episodes of Gray's Anatomy and The Hills. But with his latest release
Sunny Side Up Paolo Nutini ups the stakes by solidifying his place as one of the top singer-songwriters of today.
The Scottish born singer counts The Drifters, Cab Calloway and Louis Armstrong among artists who have inspired him. At only 22, Mr. Nutini has an old soul and displays his versatility while not being afraid to draw from his own personal experience for writing. In fact, "Coming Up Easy" was written about a subject that might surprise you, says Paolo. "It's about my own conflict I had about marijuana but you can hear it as a song about relationships, compromising, having to deal with someone else's emotions. It's about bad habits and breaking up, but I wanted to keep it positive."
For me, this is truly one of the best albums of the year...so far. Take a listen and go buy the album,

PS-I think the rabbit is a metaphor...get it.
