Nutini appeared on the music scene with Sunny Side Up, his album that went triple platinum. Nutini’s full length album, Caustic Love, was released in the UK this past March.
Nutini ‘s smooth grooves lasted for about an hour and half at Webster Hall as he proves to fans what he is about and what he stands for. The track list for the concert included “Let Me Down Easy,” “One Day,” ”Scream (Funk My Life Up),” and “Better Man.” His band was in fine form with guitar, bass, drums, trumpet, saxophone, and trombone.
Freedom and love are prominent themes in the new work. Nutini sings, “I love you. I love you but resent you all the same in love. I was created in love. In Love I hope I die.”
There’s something revelatory about Nutini when he pitches his voice up to reveal lighter tones. When his raw voice cuts through, it seems like he is grasping for something that he wants, something that is unattainable.
With his new album, Iron Sky, Nutini reminds us that we have not only the power, but the tenacity to move beyond the shackles that bind into a lighter, brighter sky. His lyrics remind fans to “rise over love, over hate, and into freedom.”
Nutini comes from a centered place in this memorable show featuring blue and purple lights. A back wall filled with fluorescent images shines in the background. Strobe effects make for a dazzling concert experience.
The band played several encores, and finished with an acoustic rendition of “There is a Rose in Spanish Harlem.”
Nutini’s new album, Caustic Love, will hit stores in the US in September.
