Paolo Nutini
Paolo Giovanni Nutini生于1987年1月9日,一名出色的苏格兰创作歌手,他的出生地是来自苏格兰首府Glasgow边上的一个叫Paisley小镇,从前这里号称苏格兰最大的镇,但现在已经与Glasgow连在一快.苏超球队圣米伦的主场就位于这个小镇!如果你单从他的名字上来看,会认为他是意大利人,的确他有意大利血统,他的父亲是意大利人,母亲则是苏格兰人,但他父亲的家族在苏格兰已经超过百年,到他这一代属于第5代.同时Paolo酷爱足球运动,他是苏格兰足球的支持者,但俱乐部他是凯尔特人的支持者,据说每当凯尔特人主场来访者有其他地区的超级强队,Paolo都会亲自前往观战.If you think you know Paolo Nutini, think again. His million selling 2006 debut album, 'These Streets', established the young Scotsman as a leading light amongst the new wave of singer-songwriters. Paolo's extraordinary follow up, 'Sunny Side Up', released June 1st casts him in a whole other light.Written by Paolo and produced by Paolo and Ethan Johns, 'Sunny Side Up' is a richly idiosyncratic, passionate and uplifting musical journey that sounds so organic and timeless it could have been hewn from the hills. From the exuberant ragtime of 'Pencil Full Of Lead' to the rolling soul of 'Coming Up Easy', the heart-tearing Stax balladeering of first single 'Candy' to the joyous folky singalong 'Simple Things', it marks Paolo's emergence as a truly individual artist, following his own wayward yet inspirationally musical path."Musically where I'm at, I don't really have a genre or style that I feel a part of," explains Paolo. "I skip from Djhango Reinhart to Cab Calloway to Canned Heat. It's a bit of a random mish mash. I honestly wanted it all to come out, and not harness it, not manipulate it. I just wanted it to be organic, and so immediate it's in your face and you can't help but take it all in."Paolo's musical journey has been quite unique. He recalls hearing The Drifters 'When My Little Girl Is Smiling' aged five: "I was just looking at the CD player, and I'm so happy. Nobody's tickling me, nobody's making me laugh, I'm just happy."
