Last Night in the Bittersweet

 


I could have sworn the Last Night in the Bittersweet the 4th album by Paolo Nutini was released in 2023 but it turns out that it was released as far back as 1st July 2022 on the Atlantic label.

It is a monster of an album with 16 tracks and weighing in at just over 72 minutes long. It is his first album  in 8 years as he was battling with addictions and his demons. Hardly surprising then that it can be a bit dark in places. As one comment on one review said this certainly feels like a man in pain whereas The Skinny feels that it is undoubtedly the tender side to Nutini that shines through the most here

Metacritic gives it a score of 87/100 which is pretty impressive .

A few months ago out of the blue my pal received a phone call from his ex-wife to tell him that Paolo had moved next door to her. His current wife was not impressed!

  1. I'm not sure I would want a man in pain moving in next door.
