Five years on and the follow up to 2009’s Sunny Side Up, Caustic Love, is set to be Paolo Nutini’s career defining record.
Featuring tracks brimming with Nutini’s distinctive vocals and big band sounds, this album mixes things up a little, taking a new, refined direction. But don’t worry, the Paolo sound we all know and love is still alive and kicking.
Written by Paolo himself, Caustic Love was largely produced by Dani Castelar, recorded at Miloco’s The Square Studio in London and Toy Rooms in Brighton. The album was mixed by Craig Silvey at Toast Studios and is released today through Warner Music UK.
