I'm listening to: Paolo Nutini - Candy

HELLO, MEET MY NEW CRUSH.

Paolo, welcome to my blog! You are most welcome to stay here forever =)
















OF COURSE I CHOSE THE CUTEST PHOTOS I COULD FIND BUT WHAT'S NOT TO LIKE?! AAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH  HE'S 23, TALENTED, SOULFUL AND CUTE (ITALIAN-SCOT!). I CAN MELT AND EVAPORATE NOW. THANKS FOR THE INTRODUCTION RAND ={D





After all the raving, I have to admit, I think liking his music's an acquired taste. 'Candy' reminds me a little of James Morrison's 'Broken Strings', and in my opinion he's a rawer version of Jason Mraz, Morrison, etc.; that is, sans the mainstream-pop gloss. I didn't like it on the first listen but after a few more, I couldn't stop replaying the video and still after, I was so blown away.

The vibe his sound exudes reminds me of the Raveonettes'. If it had a physical presence it'd be like swirling dust in an old attic transformed by the late afternoon sunlight into what looks like sparkly fairydust. It's both old and new but always nostalgically magical.

And doesn't he look a teeny bit familiar? ;-)
