AutumnPaolo Nutini

Paolo Nutini – Autumn

Guided by the mature poetic sentiment that seems to flow from lyrics thought to be sung to a beloved grandfather, and by piano tones that capture the unfiltered innocence of a teenage boy, this masterpiece wraps listeners’ bodies and hearts in a rich, soulful voice.

It appears on the debut and smash-hit album These Streets, released in 2006 by Paisley, Scotland–born singer-songwriter Paolo Nutini.

Astonishingly, Paolo was just 19 when he created this work.

If you love blue-eyed soul and haven’t yet discovered him, he’s an artist you should definitely check out.

September In The RainDinah Washington

DINAH WASHINGTON – SEPTEMBER IN THE RAIN

One of the nice things about songs that include specific dates in their titles is how they evoke the season.

Among them, you can’t leave out the classic “September in the Rain,” released in 1961 by American singer Dinah Washington, who shone across genres like R&B, blues, and jazz.

This beautiful cover of the 1937 song focuses on September rain within the autumn season, and the lyrics really resonate.

With a warm atmosphere that feels as if you’re skipping along through a gentle downpour, this track is well worth a listen.
