Album Reviews
Paolo Nutini is a twenty-year-old Scotsman who looks like he could be
in the Strokes and sings like a cross between Jeff Buckley and some
smoothie soulster. A hit in the U.K., his debut is full of warm stuff --
gentle white-soul and acoustic balladry, a couple of breezy rockers --
that stops just shy of totally cheesing out. But Nutini isn't James
Blunt, or even Daniel Powter, for that matter. Songs like the falsetto-laden
love ode "Million Faces" and the weak-kneed "Autumn" sag in the middle:
You get a well-hewn chorus but without much backbone, memorable lyrics
or anything else to make them worth more than a few spins. For Nutini's
lady fans, These Streets might be something to get hot and bothered
about, but most of us could take or leave this useless beauty.
