Paolo Nutini, An International Sensation

Well it looks like its about that time. A time for another blog post that will change the world. Kidding, but speaking of the world, its seems like I have been only been blogging about international artists (aka those outside of North America-- sorry Beiber you and you and the rest of your Canadian buddies just didn't make the cut). So, I think i'll continue on with blogging about international artists. I have a certain passion for music outside of the US. I think it may have been my father's influence on me growing up. Till this day, my father, who is from Switzerland, still blasts French pop and Swiss Polka music on weekend mornings. The artist, Paolo Nutini, is a far cry from Swiss Polka music, but you get my point.

Paolo Nutini, while famous internationally, does not have a very large following in the US (to my knowledge).  Therefore, it is essential to spread the world about him to my followers. Scottish-born Italian, singer, songwriter, Paolo Nutini has been playing on my iPod for quite some time now. Once you listen to Paolo, you wont really know how to describe him. He has a vintage, scratchiness quality to his voice that even Frank Sinatra would kill for. You might even call him a "crooner."  His music is uncomplicated, and meaningful. One of my personal favorites of his is "Last Request." Although last request not be the happiest of songs, it has an optimistic outlook. One of my "Last Requests" might just be to have Paolo Nutini "hold me." I just can't get enough of his subtle Scottish accent in most of his songs, making him unlike any artist I have ever heard. Cheers for Paolo Nutini and his enamoring music.

Listen to one of my favorites, "Last Request" and "Jenny"-- yes I may just have to make you listen to a song with my name in it! This is my blog, remember? 

P.S. Don't you think if Lana Del Rey and Paolo Nuitini reproduced their kids would be accused of having lip injections for their entire lives?
