Picture this: It's 2007, you've just heard Paolo Nutini’s "New Shoes" in a Puma commercial, and you use an iTunes gift card to purchase the track. As you wait for it to upload onto your iPod shuffle, you flip through the new dELiA*s catalog. Nutini's radio-friendly coffee shop soul is the perfect time capsule from the mid-2000s, complete with raspy vocals, effortlessly tousled hair, and straw fedoras. On his latest release, Last Night in the Bittersweet, his sound (and style) are a bit more understated with sparse acoustic instruments, dense lyricism, and a bit of country twang.
