John Newman Talks Paolo Nutini At V Fest: "Every Word He Speaks Is Inspiring"

The northern chart-topper has a whole lotta love for Paolo...

John Newman has spoken Paolo Nutini’s praise this weekend, as our very own Becca Dudleycaught up with him backstage at V Festival.

Having shared on Twitter recently that Paolo’s new album is ‘one of the best he’s heard’, the Love Me Again singer revealed just what it is about him that’s so special.

"I’ve got to know Paolo recently and every word he speaks is inspiring, because he literally breathes it in everything."

"From being such a fan growing up and then getting to meet him was just incredible and he’s given me the best advice without even asking, and without even knowing almost," he added.

When asked what exactly was in these words of wisdom, Newman replied: "Very inspiring things about staying cool and staying yourself and everything."

"Hes kind of the man for that and in terms of music he never puts out a bad record."

"I hope he carries on for a very long time because he is a very inspiring fellow musician."

Of course with such a successful first album under his belt, it’s all about record number two now, which Newman says is going ‘really really good’.
