It's been a long time, Mr. Nutini. Nigh on half a decade after his breakthrough record Sunny Side Up made him a star and, after several years of live inactivity, Paolo Nutini has confirmed his imminent return.

Up first, we'll get comeback single 'Scream (Funk My Life Up)' on Friday March 28. Its parent album, Caustic Love, arrives on Friday April 11.

The album, the Scot's third, features Nutini originals and was produced by the singer-songwriter along with Dani Castelar, with recording taking place in Ireland, Valencia, London, Glasgow and the US.
