Desperate to remove himself from the indie landfill, now disappearing under glorious, fresh nature, The View's Kyle Falconer is to collaborate with chart-topping Scot Paolo Nutini.

"Kyle from The View is such a good songwriter and he’s for real," Nutini enthused to the Star, going on to reveal the the collaboration came about as the result of a late night together.

"In the early hours one morning we agreed to do a mini album together," he explained. "Kyle said he would produce one part of it and I would produce the other. We have got all these ideas and I know that he is up for it.

"I don't know whether I am a good boyfriend. Not everyone gets it right all of the time. But I think I am OK."
