Paolo Nutini — Candy
Played: 2026-07-09 (moment in history)
From Sunny Side Up (2009), Nutini's second album, which leaned further into soul and roots influences than his debut. "Candy" is one of the record's most enduring tracks — warm, mellow, built around a repeating vocal hook that's carried it well past its release year. Nutini left school to work as a roadie and to sell t-shirts for Scottish band Speedway. His very Italian name is due to his father, Alfredo, a Scot of Italian descent.
Moment in History: On 9 July 2022, Paolo Nutini's fourth studio album Last Night in the Bittersweet was UK No.1.
