Paolo Nutini – Candy
I couldn’t mention this man in my last post and not write about the song…

From his second release on Atlantic Records, “Sunny Side Up”, this track was actually a TOBI recommendation a few weeks back but I hadn’t really appreciated its beauty in full until I listened to it again in relation to a little personal project I’m currently working on (no more details or they might realise what I’m talking about relates to them and that wouldn’t be good).
It’s similarly sweet to ‘Last Request’ from his previous album, ‘These Streets’, but has had more of an impact on me because it isn’t a ballad but is still clearly a soulful expression of emotion without being at all cheesy or cringe-worthy. For me, it conjures images of a happy couple dancing at their ‘close family and friends only’ wedding in a small american community. Which is lucky because that’s what the music video happens to be about.
Quickly catching up to ‘Alloway Grove’ as my favourite track of his. Lots on the MySpace.
