Paolo Nutini has been left feeling 'honoured' following a big announcement yesterday.

The Candy singer has revealed that his latest album, Last Night In The Bittersweet, has been longlisted for the Scottish Album of the Year Award. 

The Paisley-born star, who has been nominated alongside the likes of Joesef, Brooke Combe and The Snuts, broke the news on Twitter last night. 

He wrote: "We are honoured that ‘Last Night In The Bittersweet’ is nominated at this year's Scottish Album of the Year awards." 

Nutini was shortlisted for the same award back in 2015 for his third album Caustic Love. 

At the time he said: “Thank you for the kind nomination.

“It feels nice to know the record is resonating out there and to be in the company of some of my favourite records to come out this year.

“It means a lot. Thank you and much love.”

The longlist will eventually be whittled down to a shortlist of 10 artists, with the public being able to choose one in an online vote between October 2 and 4 and judges picking one other album.

Judges will then reconvene and the overall winner will be announced at the Scottish Album of the Year awards ceremony at the Albert Halls in Stirling on October 26.
