The New Breed: Paolo Nutini


If music by Scotland's Paolo Nutini and the Dirty's Cee-Lo Green (Danger Mouse's soul machine partner in Gnarls Barkley) are any indication, the ohhh-6 summer is going to bring the soul. Pao-Lo and Cee-Lo bring it from different angles, the former unexpectedly channeling early Marvin while the latter adds that Tri-City drawwwl to some Parliament-style funk and soul. Besides an obvious nod to the late sixties/early seventies soul sounds, their common bond is that UK fans can't get enough of either of them.

Hit up iTunes UK for Paolo's debut EP and the free single of the week
