Avg Customer Rating: 
Product Description: 19-year old Scottish singer/songwriter Paolo Nutini sounds older than his years on his debut album, These Streets. It's not just his careworn, smooth-as-sandpaper voice, either (although, admittedly, it does help). It's more to do with the maturity of the lyrics, and the casual soulfulness of his delivery. "Last Request" is more the work of a vintage Motown singer than a teenager from Paisley, and it's to Nutini's credit that he carries it off with aplomb. And rather like the soul singers of previous generations, he manages to sing without a hint of hypocrisy about his own sexual exploits ("Jenny Don't Be Hasty") while also questioning his girlfriend's fidelity ("Alloway Grove"). It's the fact that he's so frank, and even a little bit naive, that he manages to get away with it. And though the stripped-down tunes on These Streets don't always immediately grab the listener (the title track, in particular), the songs where Nutini is accompanied by a full band often manage to evoke sunny-day American soul ("New Shoes", for example). This is a strong debut, and considering Paolo Nutini's tender years, bigger things can be expected of him in the future. --Ted Kord

There is nothing i dont love about this cd. From the first song to the last........ I have almost wore it out:) I am so looking forword to any new cds coming in the future.

Where's the Next Street?, 8 Jul 2008.
The artist has brought a new genre of smooth jazzy type charisma to the music industry, the best thing yet is that he's from the Scotland, UK, undiscovered talent is not long shadowed by the overseas 'considered to be rivals'. His name would suggest a smooth jazzy Italian pop star, when in fact he is a soul-influenced adult alternative singer, after being discovered at 18 and now in his early 20's he has developed to the likes of all. Check out 'These Streets' album. It's fantastic.

Better than expected
I decided to buy this CD after hearing the catchy "Jenny Don't Be Hasty" track on Sirius Spectrum. I was more than pleasantly surprised to find a really great collection of songs. Several of the tracks reminded me of another of my favorite CDs, "Long Time Coming" by Jonny Lang. Nutini's vocals on a couple of the tracks even sound like they could have been sang by Lang. I am not at all a blues fan but this CD seems to mix in just enough of a blues element to separate it from the run-of-the-mill male pop/rock acts that seem to dominate commercial radio.

Everyone should have a copy of this
Unbelievable talent! This CD is mezmerizing, unlike anything else. There is only 1 track I don't care for.... and that's a good thing. I can't wait for a second CD to come out. There aren't words to describe how amazing this CD is. I saw him live, and Serena Ryder opened for him. Paolo's CD is better, but she smoked him in the live performance. Check her out too!
