Pencil Full of Lead

[3] Angryape.com said: The fact Paolo Nutini's second album Sunny Side Up still resides in the UK top 10 five months after it was first released in June, speaks volumes.

It's songs like new single 'Pencil Full of Lead' that have elevated the Scottish star from unknown singer-songwriter to a surprise household name and hit-maker in the three years since debut These Streets landed.

Continuing his love of classic sounds like rock-n-roll, folk, soul and jazz, this time Nutini lends his bluesy vocals (which appear to sound more weathered, and far beyond his years every time a new song arrives), to an uptempo ragtime pop track, littered with harmonicas, trumpets and jaunty percussion.

The performance begins with a coloured clay model of Nutini singing amongst an all-female band of real musicians and dancers.

The video ends with a mini-model of Nutini springing back to life from her hand, and him trying to hide his naked body from view.
