Paolo Nutini – Coming Up Easy

• 7th Aug 2009

Comin’ Up Easy immediately catches your attention with an upbeat melody. Musically it seems more jazz influenced and could easily be compared to Jamie Cullum with heavy use of piano and saxophone throughout the record. It seems that the the contemplative lyrics such as “Oh, See, the thing is, I love you/I love you but you see, I resent you all the same” don’t seem to fit the buoyant rhythm that drives the song. However this has all the ingredients and catchy lines of Nutini’s past hits the only difference is that this track gets better the more you hear it. It’s sure to be successful and heard on the radio everywhere.
