Paolo Nutini’s Sunny Side Up is the record where his big voice meets a brighter, more band-driven palette - equal parts soul-pop swagger, street-corner singalongs and brass-kissed bounce. If you know him for the huskier ballad side, this album leans into rhythm and melody with a grin, moving quickly between punchy uptempo cuts and slower, smoke-at-closing-time moments. On vinyl it plays like a proper front-to-back set: tight, hooky songwriting, warm grooves, and arrangements that leave space for his phrasing to do the heavy lifting. There’s a lived-in confidence here - songs that feel built for radios and pubs alike, without losing character. Whether you’re picking it up for a familiar favourite or to fill a gap in a modern soul/pop shelf, Sunny Side Up is an easy recommendation when you want something upbeat, vocal-led and instantly replayable.

Sunny Side Up captures Nutini at his most approachable: big choruses, classic soul touches, and a lively band feel that translates brilliantly to a turntable. It’s a modern pop record that nods to older styles without sounding like a costume - ideal when you want feel-good energy with real vocal character.

This is the 2021 vinyl reissue of Sunny Side Up. Copies can vary by pressing details, but the core appeal is consistent: a clean, modern re-press of a much-loved album that many people first met in the CD/download era. Great “back-catalog” buy if you’re rebuilding essentials on LP.

Warm, vocal-forward pop with soul and funk accents: punchy drums, bright horns, crisp acoustic strums and plenty of room for the rasp in Nutini’s delivery. Upbeat tracks pop; slower cuts stay intimate.

Recommended for: fans of soulful pop and big singalong hooks; listeners who like brass, grooves and upbeat energy on vinyl; anyone building a modern singer-songwriter collection with a classic-soul lean.

Is this the full album on one LP? Yes - Sunny Side Up is presented as a single LP album. What style of music is it? Pop at heart, with strong blue-eyed soul and pop-rock touches - hooky, rhythmic, and very vocal-led. Is this an original pressing? No, this entry corresponds to a later reissue (2021) rather than the original release era.
