7. Paolo NutiniThese Streets
I didn’t know who he was, because as you get older you don’t keep up to date with everything so much, and it came on the radio and I was sitting there with my granddaughter and I said what’s that? She said Paolo Nutini, and I said who is he? He’s such a good singer! So I went and got the album and I played it out on the patio non-stop. What a great delivery. What an unusual style of singing. And you don’t expect him to talk with this Glaswegian accent, do you? Not with that voice! So I like the contrast. But he’s got a very good contemporary voice.
