I friggin' love Paulo Nutini. His first album (These Streets) is truly something special and it's hard to believe he was only 18 when he recorded it. It's also somewhat hard to believe a guy with such a thick Scottish accent sings soul music like he does. :P
And for anyone not aware, how he was discovered is interesting too: When he was 16, a family member got him access to a local radio station concert being held in his home town of Paisley, Scotland, and when the performer was delayed they held an impromptu quiz to keep everyone entertained while they waited.

He absolutely blew everyone away, including a prominent UK manager that was in the audience, and the rest is history.

This is probably one of my go-to "show-off" albums.
