这张《Sunny Side Up》则是Paolo Nutini放纵玩乐的精华浓缩，在经历了06-09期间大大小小的巡演和现场表演之后，Paolo Nutini褪去了最初的羞涩与小心翼翼，风格更醇厚，因而专辑呈现的不仅仅是唱腔的精进，更多的是灵感火花与音符的水乳交融。不同于上张专辑讨巧于当时大环境的英摇范儿封面，这张封面干脆用上了手绘卡通形象，奠定了整张专辑欢愉的基调。而事实上，这张专辑的确是这样的，与其说大有革新，不如说是将上张专辑中欢愉的部分放大再做丰腴，以Soul-Rock为锅底，加入Folk/Jazz/Reggae为猛料，由曾为U2、RUFUS WAINWRIGHT、SARAH MALACHLAN之作专辑的Ethan Johns担纲制作，辗转英美多地录音，多种音乐风情伴着Paolo Nutini更加富于张力的声线，大放异彩，更纯粹，更复古，更上口，也更风格化。

Fans of Paolo Nutini’s debut album, These Streets might raise an eyebrow or two at this sophomore release. Produced by Ethan Johns (Kings Of Leon), Sunny Side Up features an eclectic and "rougher" range of songs that set it somewhat apart from its slick predecessor. Recorded in Ireland, Wales, New York, LA and the UK, Nutini--backed by his band The Vipers--tackles folk, reggae, soul and rock, with varying results. The Motown-esque "Coming Up Easy", the ballad "Worried Man" and the sea-shanty "Growing Up Beside You" are shining examples of Nutini's erudite songwriting skills, as is the charming, Dylan-esque "Tricks Of The Trade". But songs like "Pencil Full Of Lead" and "No Other Way", as well as his forays into reggae-lite and ersatz ragtime are less convincing, often sounding more like sketches than full songs. Whether Sunny Side Up is bravely eclectic or an incoherent disaster depends ultimately on the loyalty--and the patience--of the listener.
