Paolo's mesmerising and powerful voice has no equal, which is beautifully portrayed through the soulful swing of Coming Up Easy.
The trouble is, the one thing Paolo should have maybe stopped himself from doing is the painstaking recreation of that big Jools Holland-approved '60s soul sound.
He's got the voice for it, he clearly knows the turf well enough to pen a decent ditty in that style, but compared to the giddy fun of 'Pencil Full of Lead', or the spiralling South American folk-gospel of 'High Hopes', 'Coming Up Easy' just sounds too reverential to the past.
The video saw Nutini making friends with a giant bunny rabbit and heading down to the pub with him where they share a few pints, play darts and almost end up in a bar brawl.
The song became Nutini's sixth consecutive top 75 hit in UK but remains his lowest peaking single to date.
