Caustic Love is the third studio album by Scottish singer-songwriter Paolo Nutini, released on 14 April 2014 by Atlantic Records. After releasing his critically and commercially successful album Sunny Side Up (2009), Nutini toured for two years. In February 2011, Nutini began writing and recording the album Caustic Love, which he co-produced with Dani Castelar.

Contents

Upon release, Caustic Love was met with positive reviews from music critics, who noted the album as "the best UK R&B album since the 1970s blue-eyed-soul heyday." Commercially the album was a success; it debuted at number one on the UK Albums Chart with 109,000 copies sold, making it the fastest-selling album of the year in the region. It was also selected on 8 December 2014 [2] by Apple to become the Best Album in iTunes' 'Best of 2014'. [3]

The album was preceded by the single "Scream (Funk My Life Up)", released as a digital download on 28 January 2014 and as a physical single on 30 March 2014. [4] [5]

Background

In May 2009, Nutini released his second album, Sunny Side Up , which debuted at number one in the UK and in Ireland. It contained the singles: "Candy", "Coming Up Easy", "Pencil Full of Lead" and "10/10". Sunny Side Up has also been certified five-times platinum by the BPI and was the eighth-biggest-selling album in the UK in 2009. [6] In December 2013 he announced via social networks that his new album Caustic Love would be released in April 2014 - Friday 11 April in Ireland, Monday 14 April in UK.

Recording

As of February 2011, Paolo Nutini was in the studio working on new material. [7] He toured for two years after the release of his second studio album, followed by a hiatus from music in which he went home and "spent a good few months partying there, then I detoxed, then I retoxed." During this time Nutini was "writing along and recording little bits," for the following two years Nutini put the "spotlight" on the album stating he had "never written as much, but I had to take a bit of time. My writing used to come from a different place. I used to be more picky and there used to be a more pop sensibility to what I would naturally come up with." This was followed by Nutini writing "nothing but poetry", although he hated the notion of "trying to turn it into a verse-chorus-verse-chorus-type song, and struggled with it and got no pleasure from it whatsoever." [8] The album's recording took place in a variety of locations, including Grouse Lodge Studios in Ireland; RAK Studios, Sarm Studios, Studio 45, The Premises, The Strong Room in London; Studio Barxeta in Valencia, Spain; Sunset Sound in Los Angeles; The Old Police Station as well as Cava Sound in Glasgow and Toy Room Studios in Brighton. [9]

Singles

"Scream (Funk My Life Up)" was released as the album's lead single on 28 January 2014. A music video, directed by Nez, [4] [5] [10] was released on YouTube on 10 March 2014 [11] and a physical single released on 30 March 2014. The song peaked at number 12 on the UK Singles Chart and number 5 in Scotland. The song has also charted in Belgium and Switzerland.

Initially a non-charting single in the Netherlands, the song Iron Sky was revived by radio station 3FM in early 2015 following the Paris shootings at the Charlie Hebdo offices on 7 January 2015. It was rush re-released as a single and only a week later reached number 15 in 3FM's Mega Top 50 chart.
