Just one listen to Paolo Nutini's magnificent third long-player Caustic Love reveals exactly why it was worth the wait. It's been five years since the towering success of its 2009 predecessor, Sunny Side Up, which like the 27-year-old Paisley-born singer's 2006 debut These Days, sold a staggering 1.5 million copies in the UK alone. Described by Q magazine as "a truly excellent modern soul album," it's a record that acknowledges the classic music of the past while fixing its eyes firmly on the future. There may be echoes of some of soul music's greats within the grooves of Caustic Love - Otis Redding, Curtis Mayfield, Bill Withers, among others - but taken as a whole it's a masterful creation which proves Paolo to be very much his own man.
