Paolo Nutini - Sunny Side Up

Sunny Side Up is the follow up full length to the well received debut LP These Streets, which featured the obnoxiously catchy "New Shoes." I was recently handed the new album and on my first listen through I'm already intriged by the growth and diversity within the first 4 tracks. "Growing Up Beside You" is a shuffling ballad with feathery backing vocals and a bouncing snare beat.
The same acoustic sounds we've become accustomed to on Nutini's debut LP return with an added depth and a slightly more ambitious and polished effort. His uncharacteristically-aged raspy voice fits nicely with slide guitar on the track "Candy" and the album plays out like a tribute to Paolo's most influential singers and songwriters.

Here's a live rendition of "10/10," the first track from Sunny Side Up, from BBC's - Late Night with Jools Holland.
